PART 1

Do you have many friends? I have more than 10 friends and I am not sure if I should say this is a lot! However, I had more than 30 friends in my school days. With the passage of time, the number plummeted. If I count my Facebook friends as real friends, the number would go high! How often do you go out with friends? I meet my friends almost twice a week. I love to spend my weekends with them and sometimes I visit different places, watch movies and discuss different topics with them. I do not go out with all of my friends. I mostly hang out with 2-3 close buddies and go out with them almost 3-4 times a month. Tell me about your best friend at school. My best friend at school was Alex and he was a great friend. He was tall and brave. He taught me how to show courage when we are in trouble. He has had a great impact on my life. Though he lives in Poland now, we regularly communicate via Skype. How friendly are you with your neighbors? I must say I am quite lucky to have good neighbors who are always supportive and well-behaved. We have been living in our neighborhood for more than a decade and our neighbors have become our close relatives. We have a mutual understanding and an invisible bond that ties us together as good neighbors. Which is more important to you, friends or family? To be honest, family comes first. However, there are some friends who become our family members. The bond between family members is often stronger but this does not mean that we do not have friends who are less important in our life. Being with the family makes us who we really are and friends make our life worth living. PART 2 Describe a person you admire. You should say: who the person is what he or she is like and why you admire him or her. PART 3 Which types of people become role models in your society? Unfortunately, gone are those days when young people used to consider their fathers, teachers and medical doctors as their role models. Nowadays, it is mostly movie stars and famous sportspersons who become role models in my society. Some of us would even argue that anybody, with plenty of money, has a shot at becoming a role model in our society which is really unfortunate. Do you agree that famous people have more responsibilities than ordinary people? Yes, I do agree that famous people have more responsibilities than ordinary people because ordinary people look up to them for some kind of leadership role in fixing some of their problems. And, that’s exactly why sometimes we see world-famous persons like Angelina Jolie and David Beckham acting as some special UN goodwill ambassadors in order to raise awareness on different urgent issues that are affecting our world community negatively. What happens when young people lack good role models? If young people lack good role models, it is very possible that they are becoming extremely confused over time with what kinds of roles they should take in their families and societies. As a result, our society will have to struggle with generations of young people without moral values who would bring no good except chaos and crimes. What standards of behavior should teachers set? I believe that teachers should set some good behavior standards for others by teaching discipline, good moral values, and respect. These principles will build an ideal and functioning society in which we will be able to live and co-exist happily. Do you agree that you should never meet your heroes? I have never found a reason which would suggest that I should never meet my heroes. On the contrary, I have always believed in meeting my heroes since it would inspire me, even more, to become like the heroes I have always admired. What benefits does a famous person get that ordinary people cannot?
