Text1.What does Ellen think of her being friendless?

Friendless? It’s a problem for me. I don’t have a brother or a sister. There is no one of my age I could have as a friend. I only have a cat to play with. Of course I mix with my classmates at school. But this is not the same as having a best friend who I could share my problems and secret with. I don’t have anyone who I can have fun with or turn to for help. Nothing can replace a best friend. I’m bored to tears.

2. What does she think about having a best friend?

3. Why does Ellen need a friend?

Text 2. Is Joy happy with her only friend?

I have only one friend called Linda. She lives next door and we spend a lot of time together. She is great at keeping secrets! Sometimes we argue about little things but there are a lot of other things that we like about each other. Like me, she likes music and reading but we are both not very good at sports. She’s a person I don’t need a break from. I can always rely on my friend. She cheers me up when I’m upset. I feel that I сan always turn to her if I have some problems. A lot of friends take a lot of time. We are just two and we are happy.
