A lot of people have only few possibilities of getting feedback about their own personality. In this exercise you will have the opportunity to get some feedback and to discuss it with a partner. While comparing your mutual judgements, certain prejudices or misunderstandings may appear, as people often do not know each other thoroughly enough to judge others correctly. Try to be honest!
Self assessment
Of the following characteristics choose 5 that are particularly applicable to you personally.
Partner assessment
Now choose 5 characteristic features which you think are especially applicable to your partner.
2. Warming up by describing
Have the students get int o groups of four to describe their own ideal friend. Individual students must decide on TOP 5 character adjectives that could be used to describe t he ideal friend and insist they have good reasons for their choice. Then let the group leader give the class a description of their ideal friend. 3. Further applying
You may also have the students do the s urvey in the textbook, following the steps below.
1.Get the students to make a list of three qualities a good friend should have.
2.Have the students get into groups of four to find out what each has listed.
3.Have a member of each group report on what their lists have in common and list
them on the board.
4.Ask the class whether or not they agree with all the qualities listed.

6.Have the students score their survey according to the scoring sheet on page 8.
7.The teacher ask some students how many points they got for the survey and assess
their values of friendship:
★4~7 points: You are not a good friend. You either neglect your friend’s needs or just do what he/she wants you to do. You should think more about what a good friend needs to do.
★ 8~12 points: You are a good friend but you sometimes let your friendship become too important, or you fail to show enough concern for your friend’s needs and feelings. Try to strike a balance bet ween your friend’s needs and your own responsibilities.
★ 13+ points: You are an excellent friend who recognizes that to be a good friend you need balance your needs and your friend’s. Well done.
