Like watering a plant we grow our friendships (and all our relationships) by nurturing them.
Friendships need the same attention as other relationships if they are to continue. These
relationships can be delightfully non judgmental supportive understanding and fun. Sometimes a
friendship can bring out the positive side that you never show in any other relationship. This may
be because the pressure of playing a role (daughter partner or child) is removed. With a friend you
are to be -yourself-and-free-to change. Of course you are free to do this in all other relationships
as well but in friendships you get to have lots of rehearsals and discussion about changes as you
experience them It is an unconditional experience where you receive as much as you give. You
can explain yourself to a friend openly without the fear of hurting a family member. How do
friendships grow? The answer is simple. By revealing yourself being attentive remembering what is
most showing empathy seeing the world through the eyes of your friend you will understand the
value of friendship. All this means learning to accept a person from a completely different family to
your own or perhaps someone from a completely different cultural background This is the way we

Like watering a plant we grow our friendships (and all our relationships) by nurturing them.
Friendships need the same attention as other relationships if they are to continue. These
relationships can be delightfully non judgmental supportive understanding and fun. Sometimes a
friendship can bring out the positive side that you never show in any other relationship. This may
be because the pressure of playing a role (daughter partner or child) is removed. With a friend you
are to be -yourself-and-free-to change. Of course you are free to do this in all other relationships
as well but in friendships you get to have lots of rehearsals and discussion about changes as you
experience them It is an unconditional experience where you receive as much as you give. You
can explain yourself to a friend openly without the fear of hurting a family member. How do
friendships grow? The answer is simple. By revealing yourself being attentive remembering what is
most showing empathy seeing the world through the eyes of your friend you will understand the
value of friendship. All this means learning to accept a person from a completely different family to

Directions (21 - 25): you have one brief passage with live questions. Read the passage carefully and choose the
best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

If a country should have a message for its people it should be a message of human dignity. The
ideals of a nation should be of the freedom of ideas speech press the right to assemble and the
right to worship. A country should boldly proclaim to a world dominated by tyrants that “all men are
created equal and they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights” and “among
these are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness". This should be the source of the strength and
power of a nation. If people have the freedom to live their lives in dignity they can work with a
sound mind and physical health. The moral political and economic stature of a country lies in the
strength of its people. A nation should strive to be a more perfect not the perfect country where the
people is given a promise and a hope in their minds to work and cherish liberty justice and
opportunity. We do not always get what we want when we want it but it Is always better to believe
that someday somehow someway we will get what we want.
