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. |

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
