The Friendship Path


Ken had moved to a small town recently and felt very lonely. He didn't have any friends there and missed his old school. The only person he could talk to was his mom. Life seemed boring, and Ken had stopped doing his homework, causing his grades to drop.


One evening, Ken's mom sat with him, concerned about his well-being. She asked him to focus on his studies. Annoyed and feeling trapped, Ken shouted, "I'm tired of everything!" After this quarrel, he decided to leave the house for a long walk.


The countryside near his home was quiet and seemed to echo his feelings. As he walked, he thought about how lonely he felt. An hour passed before he found a spot under a big tree to sit. He reached for a sandwich in his backpack, and as he ate, the fresh air and silence slowly calmed him down.


Feeling a little better after his break, he continued his walk and entered a peaceful wood. There, he spotted a strange old man with a long white beard sitting on a rock. The old man smiled warmly and waved Ken over.


Curious, Ken approached and sat by the old man. The old man welcomed him like a friend and began to share a lovely story from his past, about a time when he, too, had moved to a new place. He spoke about feeling lonely and how he made friends by being kind, open, and patient.


The old man gave Ken a piece of advice: "Friendship is like planting a seed. Give it time, nurture it with kindness, and it will grow." Listening to this, Ken felt hope replace his loneliness. He realized it takes effort to make friends and that he wasn’t alone in his feelings.


Comforted by the old man's wise words, Ken thanked him and decided it was time to go back home. As he walked back, he felt lighter, knowing he could change his situation.


When he arrived home, he saw his mom at the door, looking worried. He walked up to her and gave her a big hug, whispering, "I'm sorry, Mom." She hugged him tightly, sensing the change in him.


From that day onward, Ken committed to doing his homework, and he took small steps towards making friends, slowly beginning to enjoy life in the new town.

Who is your favourite hero? 1 My favorite hero is Nelson Mandela. I admire him because he was very brave and strong in fighting against unfair treatment in South Africa. Even though he was in prison for 27 years, he never stopped believing in fairness and equality for everyone. Mandela was able to forgive the people who treated him badly and worked to bring peace to his divided country. This shows he was a very kind and gracious person. His leadership and hard work to improve the lives of others make him a true hero to me. My favorite hero is Nelson Mandela.

Florence Nightingale: The Lady with the Lamp Reading Passage: Florence Nightingale was born on May 12, 1820, in Florence, Italy. She was a pioneer in nursing and is remembered for her revolutionary work during the Crimean War. Nightingale came from a wealthy family, but she felt a strong calling to help others, particularly in healthcare. In 1854, she went to Crimea with a group of nurses to care for soldiers. At that time, hospitals were dirty and overcrowded, leading to high death rates from infections and diseases. Nightingale worked tirelessly to improve the sanitary conditions and introduced better hygiene practices and organization in the hospitals. Her commitment and passion earned her the nickname "The Lady with the Lamp" because she would walk among the sick at night with a lamp in her hand. Her efforts significantly reduced the death rate among soldiers. After returning to Britain, Nightingale continued to advocate for healthcare reforms. She established the Nightin...
