Best friends
Martha plans to visit her best friend, Anne, who lives in Paris. They are friends since they were in elementary school, in fact, Anne was the first girl Martha met when she moved to Lyon.
Martha was born in Madrid, but her parents decided to move to Lyon when she was five years old.
She remembers almost nothing of her life in Madrid because she was small, but her mother told her about her first day at school in Lyon. She did not speak French, she was very scared, but when Anne saw her she came over and smiled at her, at that moment Martha realized that everything would be fine and she felt much better.
Now Anne is about to have her first child and asked Martha to come to Paris and be with her. Anna decided some time ago to be a single mother and Martha has always supported her in her decision.

Age to leave the family home
Spanish youths take a long time to live by themselves, the average age to move out is approximately 29 years old.
In northern Europe and in America, young people leave their family' home several years before.
I do not know what the motivations are but I suppose the most important are the economic and cultural causes. In Spain, the concept of family is more classic than in other countries, we live with our parents until there is a good reason to leave them, for example, youths move out to live with their couple or to work in another city.
I think things will change for the next generations, young Spanish now learn more foreign languages and are more interested in travelling, studying and working in other countries.

Friendship
We know many people throughout our lives but only a few of them end up being really friends. In my opinion a friend is someone I can call when I need advice or when I need to tell something that worries me.
I also want to be a good friend for them and even though we are all too busy I try hard to have time for my friends and help them when they need my support.
Social networks allow you to recover contact with friends who are far away and who you have not seen for a long time but I prefer to have them closer.

The Fear
Fear is a feeling that all of us have in some moment in our life. When we were children we were afraid of certain things but when we grow up we still have fears.
Fear can help us to avoid dangerous situations or to scape when we are in danger but sometimes it's an impediment in our life because we don't try to do things that scare us even when they would be good for us.
We may be afraid to fail or be afraid of what people may think of us.
It's difficult to know when it helps us and when it becomes a problem.
