							| Hi, 
 Sounds good, but how you would implement it.  
 Sometimes if I say: You are friends they shout: NOOOO, WE ARE NOT ??? BIG QUESTION MARK 
 Thank you,

							| Thanks!   I have a begining writing class that has a writing assignment in the text book about friends and friendship.   This will help them with suggestions to talk about friends, and we can brainstorm for examples of each A-Z  or just some to use in witing a paragraph or an essay. |  10 Apr 2013

							| Thanks a lot! I want to deal with friendship later on in my class. I �ll ask them to choose a few items in your very nice list, describe some experience connected to them and report it to the class. 
 As regards friendship, basic level of English, I was also thinking of proposing the Reading Comprehension  �Looking for a Pen Pal � here
