III. Listening In
Task
1: A Picture
I have a picture that sits on my desk in my bedroom. When I have trouble studying, or I’m worried about an exam, I just take a look at it. It is a picture of my best friends taken years ago when we were in high school. It reminds me of the good time we’ve shared and the support their friendship still gives me today. Even though our lives have gone in different directions, the bond we created has kept us close. We update each other about what’s been going on through text messaging, Facebook, and Twitter. I often get e-mails with a joke for the day, or words of comfort about some problems in my life. My friends have shown up for surprise birthday parties, and one of them even traveled two hours from the other end of town just to watch my first English speech contest. Our friendship has carried me through a lot of difficult experiences, and has enriched the good ones. It is the kind of friendship that outlasts disagreements, changes, and separation.

Task
3: What destroys friendship?
There was a community in which people were all good friends. They got on well and often helped each other. One day, a woman repeated a bit of gossip about a neighbor. Within a few days the whole community knew the story. The person concerned was deeply hurt and offended. Later the woman learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the damage. “Go to the marketplace,” he said, “buy a chicken, and have it killed. Then on your way home, pluck its feathers and drop them one by one along the road.” Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told. The next day the wise man said, “ Now go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me.” The woman followed the same road, but to her dismay, the wind had blown the feathers all away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand. “You see,” said the old man.” It’s easy to drop them, but it’s impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip. It doesn’t take much to spread a rumor, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong.”
