Speaking

Work with your partner. Discuss what you think an ideal friend should be like. If you are of the same opinion, try to express your agreement. If you don't share the same feelings, also make it clear to your partner. Talk about:

• positive features you value in a friend;

• behaviours you can't tolerate;

• your expectations from your friend;

• one of your best friends and why you think he/she is an ideal friend.
