Building Friendships: The Power of Kindness and Communication

This text discusses two children's struggles with social interactions. Jan faces rejection from her peers due to her aggressive behavior, while her teacher advises her that kindness ("honey") is more effective than negativity ("vinegar") in making friends. Similarly, Martha, a newcomer from Mexico, finds it hard to communicate and make friends due to a language barrier in a cold, unfamiliar environment. Both stories highlight the importance of kindness and effective communication in forming friendships.

  2. 25- Read the passage: • None of the other children on the playground wanted to play with Jan, because she was hitting them when they would tag her. Jan’s teacher walked over to Jan and asked her what was wrong. Jan said that none of the other students liked her and she had no friends, because they all thought she was mean. Her teacher smiled and said, “You can always catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.”

  3. What did Jan’s teacher mean by this ? • a) If you give the other children honey, they will like you. • b) Flies like to eat honey, but they don’t like to eat vinegar. • c) You will make more friends by being sweet to others than being sour. • d) The students would like to eat honey on a picnic.

  4. 26- Read the passage: • It was wintertime when Martha came to the USA from Mexico. She didn’t like the cold, but she loved to play in the snow. At school, she didn’t have many friends.

  5. In this story, the main problem is: • a) Martha cannot communicate with others very well. • b) Martha doesn’t like winter. • c) Martha misses Mexico. • d) Martha doesn’t have many friends.
