Test 1 A (Module 1)
Too
cool for school
You’ve always
wanted to be popular in school. You’ve dreamt a thousand times what it would be
like to be the star of your school’s football team or that tall blonde girl who
everyone fancies.
‘Cool’ people are
attractive, confident and always wear stylish outfits. Everyone wants to hang
out with them. But often “cool” people aren’t very nice! They can be selfish
and bossy. At times they get impatient with people who might be shy or a bit
quiet.
If you really
want to make some true friends, here are some tips. Don’t choose friends based
on looks. What really matters in a friend is not being slim and beautiful but
reliable and generous. Choose friends who are humorous, talkative and who never
treat others badly. In fact, these are the people who are truly cool! Try to
choose friends that you can actually benefit from. Those who are creative and
have interests other than fashion and parties.
Be flexible but
don’t say or do things that make you feel uncomfortable just to make ‘cool’
people like you. Always speak your mind. Those who really care for you will
still be your friends- even if at times you drive them crazy. Remember: real
friends are those you can open up to. Those who will hold their tongue and will
never give away your secrets.
Take a minute and think. What really matters? Making friends that count or
counting friends?
41. Popular kids
in school are often selfish and bossy. _______
42. It is better
to hold your tongue and never speak your mind or you will end up all
alone.______
43. You will
benefit more from having one friend who is creative and interesting than having
ten who are boring. _
44. A true friend
will care for you even if at times you get on their nerves.________
45. “Cool” people
are usually ugly._______
