Theme 9

11th Grade - Theme 9 - My Friends 

Listening 1

My best friend is Mia. I like her a lot. I

think she’s got a wonderful personality. First

of all, Mia is a very kind person. I believe her

kindness is one of her greatest strengths.

Secondly, she’s so thoughtful. She always

thinks about how she can help her friends.

She also avoids making people upset. She’s

someone who cares about other people’s

feelings. She’s not selfish at all. I can’t stand

people who only think of their own pleasure.

She’s really modest as well. I think

that’s great. What’s more, Mia is so honest

and trustworthy that I can describe her as a

straight arrow. All in all, she’s very special to

me. I hope our friendship will never end.

Listening 2

I’d like to tell you the day when I met Mia

for the first time. That was 2 years ago. I was

staying with my grandma. The weather was

fantastic that day, so we decided to go to the

park for a picnic.

The place where we were having our

sandwiches was wonderful. A girl who looked

as old as me was sitting on a bench near us

and reading a book.

Everything was great, but my grandma suddenly felt very bad. I got into a panic and I

started to cry. I didn’t know what to do. The girl

immediately ran to help us. Next, she called an

ambulance. She even got into the ambulance

with us and waited at the hospital for hours.

Meanwhile, I learned that her name was Mia.

She was so friendly and helpful that I liked her

a lot.

Luckily, my grandma began feeling

better soon. As I was saying goodbye to Mia,

I thanked her very much and gave her my

phone number because both of us wanted to

meet again.

Now Mia is my best friend. We have a lot

in common. Actually, we are like two peas in a

pod, so we have good fun together.

I feel that Mia is the right person when I

need a shoulder to cry on. She always listens

to me patiently when I tell her my problems.

She’s so supportive.

We see each other very often. We’re

planning to go to a pop concert next week.

I hope we’ll be good friends forever.
