A. Make small groups and discuss the following :
Q.1. How many friends do you have ? Who among them has helped you.
Ans . I have only few friends. They all are good and helpful . Most of the time we discuss about our studies and try to help each other. Sohan helps me in Maths while Arun helps others in Science. I try to help them in language particularly spelling and grammar. We try understand the difficulty of each other so that we are able to help when needed.
I don’t believe in making large number of friends. This disturbs studies, I have seen and found.
