    FRIENDS OR FAMILY

    Part 1: Which is more important – Friends or family?
    Notes. Write about:
    1. Who you can enjoy yourself with
    2. Who will help you when you have problems
    3. Who I prefer.


    FRIENDS OR FAMILY

    Nowadays, it seems that a lot of people put friendships above their families [I would say "put their friends above their families" OR "put their friendships above their family relationships" - either comparing people with people or relationships with relationships]. But, the comparison between But comparing the two would be quite inappropiate, because they are both very important parts of our lives.

    To start with, youngsters often believe that it’s impossible to have fun with family apart from friends. On the one hand, you can chat, travel with your relatives and feel more at ease than when you are surrounded by Friends. On the other hand, it way depends on how open-minded is your family is.

    Our life path isn’t always clear, so we ought to ensure ourselves need some reliable figures to lean on in case we need help [it would be more elegant to say "in times of need"]. In fact, the more intimate a person is intimate with you, the better it is. No one can be purely and quickly available to you except your mother who gave birth to you [grammatically this is correct, but as a statement it doesn't make sense... even a mother is not necessarily available to her children all the time?].

    Personally, I think that the key is balancing the various relationships we have depending on our priorities and giving our affection to people who truly deserve it, whoever it is, a friend or a parent.

    "Take a break" is more informal, and generally means stop what you're doing, possibly to rest or to do something else for a bit. Some examples:

    "Would you like to take a break from your exam studying, and come with me for coffee?"

    "When I take a break from this work, I'll make that phone call"

    Taking a break usually implies a break from work. 

    "Take a rest" usually suggests more explicit rest (physically relaxing the body). And you would usually say "have a rest", so for example: "OK, do five more push-ups, and then have a 30-second rest"

    Or if someone is ill: "Maybe you should have a rest" (meaning sit down or lie down). 

    This shouldn't be confused with "give it a break" which is a slightly harsh put-down; say someone is arguing a point and they are going on and on, another person in the conversation may say "give it a break", which has a tone of impatience or irritation.

    Memory

    Hi. My name is... I don't know my name. I do not remember. I don't know who I am. This is very hard. I think I am a good man. I have hope that I will  remember my life.

    A beautiful woman!!

    I fell in love with a woman who works in the same at my workplace as mine. But, she works in the office, and I work out side outside on in the field. I've been thinking I want to ask her out on a date. But, I can't find a good time timing. (Or: But I can't get the timing right)
    I didn't expect that I would fall in love with someone at all. I knew how it feels, how it hurts. I want to be free from this feeling. It really hurts.
