really well. We see each other a couple of times a week, but I’ve had to lie to my parents about where I’m
going and who with. I’ve always got on with them, but I know if they found out how Tom was they’d
stop me seeing him.

II. Read the text and do the task that follows.
A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED
One day, two friends were walking through the woods. Suddenly, they heard a loud noise behind
them. They stopped and turned around to see what it was. ”It's a bear!" cried one man. He did not think
about his friend, but instead quickly ran to the nearest tree. He climbed up to the highest branch. The
other man was slower, and he suddenly found himself alone with the bear near him. He quickly lay down
with his face to the ground and didn't move. He pretended to be dead, because he was once told that a
bear would not eat a dead body. The bear came closer to the man. He walked all around him, then stopped
and lowered his head close to the man's ear. After a few minutes, the bear went away. The "dead" man
then sat up, and his friend came down from the tree. "What did the bear say to you?" asked his friend
jokingly. The "dead" man thought about it, and answered, ”The bear told me to find a better friend than
one who runs away when there is trouble."

Include a first course, a choice of main courses and a dessert, plus lots of people’s favourite drinks. The
next thing to do is the shopping. Make sure buy more than enough of everything, and that someone can
help you carry it! On the day, start cooking early. Give people appetizers like Greek mezze or Spanish
