FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is a special bond that you have with certain people. It keeps your life
from being lonely and makes life more fun and meaningful. You can sit in a room full of
people, but without a friend you are still alone. Whom will you talk to? Who knows how you
feel? Who will share this time? Friends help make the good times better and the hard times
more bearable.

It is the freedom to choose your friends that makes friendship special. Friends
share interests, attitudes, problems, and experiences. If you share an interest in music,
together you may listen to music, play interests, or write lyrics to a song. Hours may be
spent talking about the perfect sound system for a car. Common computer knowledge may
lead to developing a website or new software. Friends provide companionship, the sharing
of information, and insights. Similar interests enhance a friendship.

Friends also depend on and trust each other. They give advice and emotional
support when it is needed most. They listen. Maintaining a friendship is not automatic,
however. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "The only way to have a friend is to be one." You
have to work at being a good friend. It takes time, energy, and commitment, but friendship
is its own reward.

Read the following text and construct a sentence outline.

PHOBIAS
We all have fears, but at what point do they interfere with our lives? Many of us
jump at the sight of a spider crawling on our leg. A bumpy plane ride may make us
nervous. But what if a fear becomes so intense that it makes normal life impossible? Then
that fear would become a phobia.

A phobia is an intense and persistent fear of a specific object, situation, or activity.

The anxiety is usually out of proportion to the real situation, and the victim is fully aware
that the fear is irrational. Because of this fear, the phobic person leads a restricted life. A
salesperson who is terrified to fly has to limit business to areas that can be visited by land,
rail, or water. A person with an extreme fear of elevators must use the stairs to get to a
friend's tenth-floor apartment.

Phobic anxiety is different from other forms of anxiety because it is focused on a

particular object or event. When confronted with the object of their phobia, people often
experience physical symptoms. A rapid, pounding heartbeat, stomach disorders, nausea,
diarrhea, frequent urination, a choking feeling, flushing of the face, sweating, trembling,
and faintness are some common symptoms.

Through various types of therapy, some phobic people are able to confront their
fears. More commonly, however, they avoid the situation or object that causes the fear - an
avoidance that limits the phobic's life experiences.

Rock Music
The genre of rock music encompasses many distinct styles under the same umbrella.
While the genre began with guitar - and piano-driven popular songs, today there are
literally hundreds of variations on the original. Electronic rock contains elements of
computer-generated or synthesized instruments, including drum machines and electronic
guitars, in addition to some of the elements from the original movement. Heavy metal
focuses less on melody and more on heavy guitars, while folk-rock typically uses a much
more acoustic sound with instruments like banjos and harmonicas. Emerging in the late
1970s were glam rock and punk rock, which share a stripped-down sound and emphasize
aesthetics, while punk rock tends to be more aggressive and glam tends to be more
theatrical. Even today, rock music tends to share a distinctive beat with electric or acoustic
guitars.
