Read and translate the text My friend To begin with, a man can have different friends. The English say that man’s best friend is his dog. Sometimes we say that books are our best friends. I know a few persons for whom the books are the best and the only friends. I think I am not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily. I fully agree that the old friend is better than the two new ones. I should like to stress that a real friend is not only a playfellow or a helpmate as the proverb puts it a friend in need is a friend indeed. To my mind, a friend is a person dear to you, whom you trust and respect. My best friend’s name is Nick. We live in the same block of flats, so we see each other almost everyday. So we meet frequently not only at home but at school. We are of the same age and study at the same form. We got acquainted many years ago but he seemed to be a selfish boy and I didn’t like him at first. He was a bright pupil. As I got to know him better I understood he was a nice guy and we made friends. He is honest and just, understanding and kind. I trust him a lot and I’m sure that I can rely on him in any situation. Nick is very responsible. He finishes whatever he starts. He’s got only one shortcoming. He is a bit stubborn; nevertheless he is pleasant to deal with. I never quarrel with Nick. But if there is some misunderstanding between us we try to make peace as soon as possible. We have much in common. We often watch video. Sometimes we go to the cinema or to the theatre, or walk around the centre of Moscow, visiting small cafes, museums, art galleries, shops. We talk for hours about all sorts of things (politics, love, theatres and girls). We go in for sports and like to play chess; we enjoy listening to the music. His father is a computer-programmer. He is the most brilliant man I’ve ever met. His mother is a music teacher. No wonder Nick is so talented. He’s got a very good ear for music. He likes jazz and plays the piano very well. Now Nick collects compact discs of his favorite groups and singers, he carefully studies the information printed on disc booklets. He also tries to find out everything about the singers he likes. That’s why he reads a lot of specialized magazines and never misses MTV shows. He even writes letters to some fan-clubs in other countries so he has to brush up his English. He never misses a concert of his favorite groups. He brings his compact discs to the concert and asks the singers for their autographs. I don’t know if Nick is handsome or not. I don’t care about it. His figure is delicate. He has an oval face with a long straight nose and a high forehead. His hair is fair and curly as his mother’s. I respect him for his fairness, strong will, intellect and modesty. жүктеу/скачать 159,86 Kb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
