A good friend should be helpful. He/she helps you solve problems. A good friend should be honest. You always believe what he/ she says. A good friend shares your joy. He/she shares your sadness, too. A good friend should keep secrets. You can tell him / her everything. d. (For stronger classes, get the students to make up more sentences like this, showing the qualities of a good friend.)STEP 6 Whats important?a. A good friend may have lots of qualities. It is also very important for us to figure out what the most important qualities are, because the students may need these to tell about good friends. These will definitely help the students a lot in making friends with each other. b. Have the students finish the table in groups of four. I think it is important to get the students to discuss it before we come to any conclusion. Or simply, we dont need any conclusions here. The thing that matters is that they start to think about this on their own.I think it very helpful to give the students the sentence patterns before they start to talk about this topic. The sentence patterns are listed as follows. It is very important for my good friend to be polite. It is quite important for my good friend to be clean and tidy. It is not important for my good friend to be good looking. It is very important for my good friend to.It is quite important for my good friend to. It is not important for my good friend to.(There are not definitely right or wrong answers here. Whats important is that the students have their own ideas. However, I would like to try to make the students to care more about personality or characteristics of a person, not the appearance. In this part, for stronger classes, I think it necessary to get the students to speak out their reasons for making the choices.)STEP 7 Homeworka. Read the comic stripes and try to remember it. Try your best to act it out. b. Try to read your notes about the qualities of good friends. If possible, think of other qualities a good friend should have. c. Finish off the exercises in the Evaluation Handbook and Learning English.
