a. Read the text below, identify two situations when friends are needed, and write them on
your answer sheet. 10 points

A lot of people go through life with only a few friends. It seems that some have less than
that. They have no one on whom they can call in good times or bad. There is no one with whom to
talk about deep and troubling subjects. They have no one to call in times of need or difficulty. They
are at the mercy of life, standing alone.
Others seem to have a multitude of friends. Wherever they go, people know them and like
to be around them. Should trouble strike, their biggest hesitation might be over which friend to call.
They know exactly the person with whom to discuss the topics of enquiry and debate. Life is full of
entertaining and invigorating relationships because it is full of friends.
