ACTIVITY 5: READ THE PARAGRAPH BELOW AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW. Types of Friends
Friends can be classified according to their honesty , loyalty , the type that fits you into their schedule , or the type that finds time for you when they need something. An honest friend tells you the truth even if it’s not always what you want to hear. In the long run , that honest friend may have saved you from embarrassment or possibly rejection. They give you constructive criticisms overall. The loyal friend is the type of friend that will be there for you through thick and thin. They don’t care how good or bad you may look one day; they are sensitive to your feelings , they respect you and the other people in your life, and most of all they will never let you down when times are hard. They may be what you call a best friend. The third group, the person that fits you into their schedule , is the type of person that is always on the go. They barely have time for themselves let alone another person. More than likely they will not be there

for you when you need them most, because they are so wrapped up in their busy , hectic life. Then you have the self-absorbent type of friend that finds time for you only when they need something. This type of person isn’t what you would call a friend. This person may always be extremely nice to you because they know that from being nice they will more than likely get what they want. They will call you every once in a while when it is almost time for them to use that person again. It may be for a ride to work, home or they just want somebody to hangout with because they have no other friends. If the person that is being used is smart they will eventually realize that they are getting used and will stop being there for that person. ( Amy Neil, 2005)
