SESSION 1: FRIENDSHIP

CONCLUSIONS

Friendship has a great value in our lives, so we must care for it. A good friendship must be

responsible, fair and supportive.

1. RESPONSIBLE. The friend is responsible for the friend. He must help him and must not do

anything than can hurt him.

2. FAIR. The friend must behave fairly with his / her friend, without asking him unfair things.

It is not a good friend the one who treats the others in a different way and without

respecting them.

3. SUPPORTIVE. Friends enjoy with their friends’ happiness and they feel bad with their

sadness.

5. Imagine a father that sees his son really drunk. Explain the situation.

Son: Why? Because everybody does it. I don’t want to be a rare one.

TO REMEMBER

Friendship helps to forge one’s identity, personality and independence. It is really

important to choose good friends and to keep the freedom in the group.

A friend must assume he is involved in his / her friend’s happiness and treat him / her

fairly and with solidarity.

The Spanish family

Family in Spain

Babies outside marriage, second marriages, lone mothers, homosexual

parents, lab children or children adopted from the opposite side of the

world. New types of families live proudly together with the classic

family. Whereas some people think that family is going through its

most difficult time, sociologists refer to it as the richest and mostdiverse moment of the most valued institution in Spain.

1. Guess which of the following sentences are true or false and check your answers with the

teacher:

a. A law was passed in the Spanish Parliament in April 2005 which allows the marriage

between people of the same sex

b. The classic family consisting of a man and a woman who are married and who long for

having some children is not the most representative model anymore

c. In the 80s and 90s people more and more frequently knew about divorced friends,

family relatives that went to live with another person without getting married,

neighbours that lived on their own or somebody that lived with a person of the same

sex

d. According to sociologists, diversity is being invented in modern times. Years ago

everybody was a member of the classic family

e. When a woman marries a man, she keeps her surname. When they have children, they

have two surnames: the father’s surname followed by the mother’s one

2. Taking into account the definitions of the types of family in the UK that you have worked on
