T asks students to work individually in order to write down three questions about friends. T gives some examples.Then, T let Ss work with partners to asks and answer questions together.. T monitors them during the activities to make sure they are doing the right thing. Some of the Ss will report back to the whole class.
T asks students to change their partners and discuss about the questions: "When do you call somebody as a true friend?" "When do you call somebody as a true friend?" T takes Ss' opinions by nominating some students. T splits Ss into groups of 3 complete sentence which starts with " A true friend .... " and gives examples by writing on the board before the groups start. T asks groups to share their ideas with whole class. T asks students if Ss agree.
