Do you have friends who are not very good with money? What do they do? Should you try to help them?
Comments
Yes,I have friends who are not very good with money and i help them.
Mmm yeah, I have one friend who isn't very good with money. IDK. The only thing I know about her is that she isn't excellent student, she's very good. She hasn't mother. She left out her. She has father and brother. I think. Yeah, we are hanging out with her, we are inviting her to come with us, we go out together, we invite her on birthdays.... And I agree with Natalija. I think the same think as she. I don't give her money, becase I don't wanna she to get me wrong. Only when is her birthday, and like a birthday present sometimes I give it to her clothes, money.... something like that. But I really respect her. She's nice person. She hasn't got lot friends. She knows that we are always here for here. We are not best friend, burt we are society and we always, always hang put together. :)
Hi AnaB. Nice comment! It sounds like you are a good friend to her and I'm sure she appreciates it.

i don't have poor friends and even if i did i couldn't do any thing 4 them but offer my simpathy and i would try to by him or her gifts and make her or him feel comfortable but belive it or not i've never had a poor or needy person in my life and i don't know what ishould do if i had a needy friend anyway it isn't that much important if my friend is rich or poor i only care about my friends personality
It is so difficult with the good relationships between rich and poor teenagers in the modern world.... There are unnecessary divisions... We are all people! No matter what we wear, or how modern are our phones !The most precious thing we have, is our soul.
You're right. But unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to change this world.
Maybe I'm not good with money.. and I have some rich friends... but I never ask them to borrow me money.
Yes, our classroom has a student like this. We try to help her but we don't say her the help.
So cute you are...
Thanks!
You made a right decision, I think. Friends are not the tools which we can use to finish our purposes. In fact, I always find it difficult to make friends. I can keep a normal relationship with them but I just can't go any further. And the truth is I have no close friends. One of my friends always says that she is my best friend. However, I've been wondering about that all the time. What has she done for me? Laughed at me when I got bad grades? Made fun of me whenever she liked to do? Blamed me for something that I hadn't done? Asked me for help and then said I hadn't done anything for her? She even tells everyone that I seem to be nice but actually evil inside. I sat on the floor and cried a lot. But I can't get away from her because my family owes hers many things. And now, I'm still looking for a true friend.
Yes, I do. I've got a friend that likes to be seen as a rich girl, but she isn't; I know her family very well and they are people of effort. Sometimes I try to tell her that she has to act like the person she is, but she is so convenced to feign what she isn't, that it has been almost impossible for me to make her enter in reason. Although, this doesn't affects me at all, at the moment I've been getting away from her, because I feel that she isn't a true friend, she looks for me just when she needs to get good marks in english or maths, and when we get to the test, she begs me to give her the answers. I really don't think that I deserve this, so I've just decided to get away from her.
Me and my friends always try avoiding theme of money in our relations. It can really spoil them. But one of my neighbours made attempts to lend some money from me. I can say it wasnt pleasant experience...I felt nervous waiting for payback
I think it´s very important to help out to peolpe in need even if you don´t have money you can help them with food,clothes or something,everybody needs help from others.
Some of my friends aren´t good with money,they spend it as soon as they receive it.There´s a say here in méxico "Money burns my hands" it means that you spend your money immediatly and you don´t save any.
I think among my friends, I'm the poorest. My friends are usually full of money. However, it doesn't last long because they are extremely extravagant. When they're short of money, they will ask their parents, not me! I have a special friend who is much more richer than those friends but she doesn't have much money. Whenever she brings a lot of money, she will spend it on foods. She loves eating!
In my opinion, I'm always ready to lend my friends money if they need. I think it's an action that a really good friend must do.
I think these videos very helpful in practing phrasal vebs. For me the phrasal verb is the most difficult part in English. There are so many many of them, and some phrasal verbs have the meaning which do not relate to the original verbs :( So this makes it harder to remember. Unfortunately , the native use them regularly, especically in talking.
Thank you so much, British Council.
Yes, I have! But she always hand it over, when I say that I need it very urgently.
yes, I agree with your comments my friend Natalija.
Yes, I have got dearest friends at school is very poor
Yes, I have, one of my dearest friends at school is very poor, she lives from social help, but she's the best person I've ever met-kind, polite and an excellent student. She studies so hard, and wants to become a doctor one day, and I support her completely. I like her because she fights for brighter future, although her material situation doesn't look nice at all, but she wants progress, and I admire her. She even works and earns money for the family. I'd like to help her, but it's a complicated situation, because I don't want to make her feeling embarrassed. When is her birthday, I buy her a nice present, and I'm trying to help her as much as possible, because friendship is such an amazing thing, and we should help each other, and not to look at people from material aspect, but to look his soul and sincerity.
Wow, you have such a great friend! And she is so lucky that she has a friend like you. I hope your friend's dream will come true one day.
