Unit 06 Best Friends

Unit 6 Page 56 Reading Exercise 3 A Real Friend Julia is 11. She has got curly, brown hair, brown eyes and a big smile. She's got a lot of friends at school. All her classmates like her. At lunchtime, Julia always goes to the school canteen and buys her lunch. Her friend, Jack, doesn't buy any food. He just drinks a glass of water. Jack does this every day, and Julia is worried. One day, she asks Jack, 'Are you hungry?' 'Yes,' says Jack. 'But you don't eat at school,' says Julia. 'I haven't got any money for lunch,' says Jack. 'My dad hasn't got a job and my mum's ill. They've got lots of problems. But don't worry about me - I'm OK.' Julia thinks about this. At home, she's got a big glass jar. It's full of coins. She wants to buy an electric scooter one day. That night, Julia opens the jar, takes the coins and puts them into a bag. Her mum sees her. 'Why are you doing that?' she asks. 'My friend Jack hasn't got any lunch money and I've got some money here. This is for him.' 'That's very kind of you,' says her mum. She feels happy that her daughter wants to do this. The next day, Julia and her mum go and see her teacher. They tell her about Jack and Julia gives her the money. 'This is for Jack's lunch. Now, he can have lunch every day,' she says. Julia hasn't got an electric scooter, but she's got a happy friend - Jack!

Page 63 Culture Exercise 3 WELCOMING PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD How do you say hello to someone you know? Do you smile? Do you touch the other person? Here are some ideas for travellers. This is how people in different countries welcome each other. Do you do different things in your country? In many countries in Asia, people bow their heads when they meet each other. This shows respect. In India, Nepal and Bangladesh, people bring their hands together in front of their heart and say 'Namaste'. When you greet a grandmother or grandfather or another older person in Turkey, you kiss their right hand and then place it on your forehead. They do this in the Philippines, too. The Maori people in New Zealand rub noses together when they meet. This is called the 'hongi'. In Malaysia, you put your hand on your heart and nod your head. Sometimes you also take the person's hands in your hands first. In Western countries, many people shake hands when they meet. Sometimes they just smile and say something like 'Hello!' or 'Hi!' In the US and in other countries, some people like using a 'fist bump' to greet another person. Both people make a fist, push their arm forward slowly and touch each other's fists. In many countries around the world, friends kiss each other on the cheek. In some countries they kiss one cheek, in others they kiss both cheeks and in some they kiss cheeks three times.
