Test 2 listening I asked some young people to share with me how they've helped a friend in need.0:00
Here's what they had to say.0:09
Speaker 1 I don't like going to parties.0:12
It's not for me, but my friend Lucy does.0:16
Last week, Lucy got an invitation to a birthday party.0:20
The problem was that she couldn't go because her parents wouldn't let her go alone.0:23
Naturally, I offered to go with her.0:28
I mean, she's my best friend and I didn't want her to miss out on something she'd have really liked.0:30
I know she'd do the same for me.0:35
Speaker 2 My best friend has many talents, but maths is not one of them.0:39
When I saw him struggling to do his maths homework, I offered to help.0:46
I didn't give him the answers, but I gave him some hints to help him solve the problems on his own.0:51
He felt so proud that he had managed to complete the assignment.0:57
Speaker 3 It was the first day of school and one of the older students was picking on my friend because of his height.1:02
I'm very tall for my age.1:11
So I went up to the boy and looking down at him, said, why don't you pick on someone your own size?1:13
The bully said nothing and ran away.1:20
Speaker 4 I knew my friend's parents were getting a divorce, but I didn't know how badly it was affecting her until I saw her crying after school as we walked home together.1:25
I told her that she could talk to me about anything and that I'd be there for her.1:37
With that, she wiped away her tears and started to smile.1:42
Speaker 5 During a test, one of my friends tried to look at my paper since she hadn't studied.1:47
I continued with the test and hid my answers after class.1:56
I could see she was furious.2:00
I went up to her and said that if she needed help studying for the next one, I'd be glad to lend her a hand.2:02
She apologized and thanked me for the offer.2:09
Speaker 6 My friend Jody is concerned with helping the homeless.2:13
She feels it is an important cause.2:19
So I got several teenagers together and we went with her to volunteer at the local shelter.2:22
It was such a rewarding experience for all of us.2:27
