Kate: Yes, I did. It was really beautiful. Are you ready,
George?
George: What for?
Kate: : The quiz I told you about
George: Oh, of course.
Kate:
OK. Here we go. How many moons does Saturn have?
George: I don't know. But I know that Earth has one!
Kate:
Everyone knows that. The answer is ...
George: No, no, don't tell me. Let me guess. Um, I think it's ...
three.
Kate: No, it's 62!
George: 62 moons?! That can't be right.
Kate: It is. OK. Next one. This is a space question: What are
the two main gases in the atmosphere?
George: I know this one! Nitrogen and oxygen.
Kate: That's right. Well done! Another one: Is Pluto a
planet?
George: Yes, it is ... Isn't it?
Kate: Well, some say it isn't. Some say it's too small to be
a planet. OK: now, some more questions about the
universe...
What is friendship? Some people will say that it is a feeling of mutual liking between two or more people, other will add that it is a state when one person understands and supports the other one.To my mind friendship can be compared to a tree. Its seed should find good soil and under good conditions it will grow into a tree. As the years go by the tree stands firmer and firmer on the ground. And if it is strong enough, it will survive all the storms and winds. But to help it, we should take care of it and love it.The most important feeling that exists between friends is trust. It newer appears by itself, it's the result of a long friendship and this feeling is very valuable. Respect and tolerance are also very important; it means that you don't criticize your friend's way of living, but try to understand him, discuss problems with him and explain to him what you think is good and what is bad. A friend is a person who can help you in time, lend you any sum of money for a long period of time without any percent, whom you can wake up in the middle of the night just to say you feel worried or who is eager to do everything for you waiting nothing in return, who supports you in all your beginnings and who will never betray you.Lucky are those people who have friends. I'm happy to have lots of friends, too. Some of them are very close, some are less. But all of them make my life interesting and enjoyable.I appreciate friendship. It makes happiness grow brighter and grief less painful, because we have friends to share it with. When we doubt our ability to fulfill our aspiration or to reach our secret goal it is our best friend who gives us a spark of assurance. And we trust our friends and we are grateful to them. Friendship is a bridge between loneliness and fellowship, frustration and confidence, despair and hope, setbacks and success. That's why a true friend is a priceless gift. They are rich who have true friends, says a proverb and I agree.
