students are asked to describe themselves and a friend. you can use these questions in at least two different ways. one alternative is to ask the students to think about three words to describe themselves and then let each student tell the class the three characteristics they have chosen. a second alternative would be to ask the students to write down the three characteristics and let other students guess who is being described. as with the first part, the objective is to elicit student language and get the students to think about friends and friendship.

step 2. listening

the students will hear friends discuss common problems that may occur in a friendship. the students are asked to identify the problems and suggest solutions. tell the students that friends sometimes have problems and that it is important to know how to solve the problems. the students will hear three arguments between friends and are asked to write down the problems and suggest possible solutions. it may be necessary to divide the task into two parts; first the students write down the problems as they listen to the tape, and then they discuss possible solutions. the students can also listen to one situation at a time and discuss solutions with the whole class.
