It used to be thought that
friendship was something that ‘just happened’ between people. However, many studies by social scientists
have shown that becoming friends with another person is a complex process, but one that can be learnt.
Making (and keeping) friends isn’t easy – it takes effort. Here are the top five tips for turning someone
you know into a lasting friend.
1_____________________________________
Everyone has acquaintances – people we know, but who aren’t (yet) friends. To take your relationship
further than just discussing the weather, you need to show an interest in their lives. Ask them questions
(but don’t get too personal at first). Even more importantly, listen to their answers and remember the
information for the next time you meet.
2_____________________________________
Maybe you made a joke that annoyed your new friend, or forgot to call when you promised to. It’s almost
inevitable that something will go wrong at some point, but it’s how you react to the situation that may be
more important than the initial error. An honest apology and making the effort not to let it happen again
are usually all that’s needed.
3_____________________________________
When making arrangements, there are two opposite ways of behaving that can harm a friendship. The
first is forcing the other person to make all the decisions by saying things like ‘I don’t mind, you choose’
or ‘Whatever you want’. The other is being too particular and inflexible about what you want to happen,
or where, or when. Try to find a middle way between the two extremes.
4 _____________________________________
It’s understandable that you want to impress a new friend and make them aware of your good points,
but don’t go too far. Research shows that most of us tend to like people who don’t boast about their
achievements or take themselves too seriously.
5 _____________________________________
If someone tells you something ‘in confidence’, it means just that – they are confident that you won’t tell
anyone else. In other words, they trust you. If you then pass on this information to another person, that
trust is broken. Even if your friend doesn’t find out what you’ve done, this kind of behaviour can easily
destroy a friendship over time.

Question Number Two: (20 points)

Read the text and do the tasks below:
My name is Fatima Musa and I have worked as a translator for five years. Many students have
emailed me about my work because they want to know what it would be like to do my job. So here
is my reply. I have always been interested in languages. My father worked in many different
countries when I was young and we usually travelled with him. When we visited a country, I always
wanted to learn the language. At school I was very good at English. Therefore, I decided on a career
as a translator.
My job now involves going to important conferences and seminars around the world. When a
person speaks in English at a conference, I listen to what they say through headphones. I then translate
into Arabic while the speaker is talking. I give the translation through headphones to other people at
the meeting. This means that anyone in the room who speaks Arabic can understand what people are
saying.
Is it an easy job? Not at all. English is not the same in all English- speaking countries. For
example, the English words that are used in India are sometimes different to the words that people use
in the UK, the USA or Australia. As well as knowing regional English, you also need to know a lot of
specialist language. Some of the words that are used to talk about business, science or law, for
example, make it almost a different language!
Unless you have a language degree, you will not be able to become a translator. Provided that
you have a high qualification, you will probably get a job as a translator quite quickly. If you get an
interview for a job, you will need to show that you have good listening skills and a clear speaking
voice. You will also need to show that you can think quickly and that you are able to concentrate for
long periods of time. If you are successful, it is a secure and rewarding job. You will probably need
to travel a lot, but that is not a problem as long as you enjoy visiting other countries.
It is a very responsible job. I am aware that if I translate things badly, it could affect an
important law or trade agreement between countries. However, you get a huge feeling of satisfaction
when you know that people understand everything that you translate.
