Topic 1
"逆轉人生" ---The Intouchables
菲利普是個家財萬貫的富翁，在一次跳傘意外導致終生癱瘓，他雇用看護來幫他打點生活，而他選中的看護人選，竟是來自郊區又有前科的黑人混混，因而發展出另類的友情。
A rich quadriplegic, living in a mansion in Paris, requires a live-in carer. A young offender turns up for an interview, but he is not really looking to get the job. However, to his surprise, he is hired. The two men then develop a close friendship.
Driss is driving Phillipe's Maserati through the streets of Paris at night, with Phillipe in the passenger seat. The car is speeding and the police begin a chase. They are caught and Driss claims to the police that he is trying to get urgent medical attention for Phillipe. Phillipe pretends he has had a stroke. The police then escort them to hospital. When the police leave, they drive off.
The story of their friendship is told in flashback.
Phillipe is a rich quadriplegic who lives in a mansion in Paris. He is interviewing for a live-in carer. Driss is just looking to get a signature to show he has been looking for work. Driss, however, is given the job for a trial period. Phillip learns of his criminal record for robbery. But, he states that he doesn't care as long as he does his job properly.
As time passes, the two develop a friendship. Phillipe reveals to Driss that he became paralysed after a paragliding accident. His wife died and they were childless. So he adopted a daughter, who behaves in a spoiled manner. Driss persuades Phillip to begin being strict with her. (by Kerry)

Topic 2 How to Find A New Best Friend (Edited by Burnt Out)
Finding a new best friend isn't easy, especially if you're not the out-going type, but here are the steps that will zap you into BFF mode and get your best mate.
1. Make sure you look presentable! Nobody wants to hang out with the crumpled kid. You're clothes shouldn't be outrageous but show sides of your personality. Don't dress up as someone you're not.
2. Don't make it obvious that you're trying to please the person, they don't want to be stalked to the point of being paranoid. Just say "hi!" to them at lunch or in the locker room etc.
3. Talk to a variety of people, you never know who might become friends with you. You have a better chance of finding a Best Friend or soulmate if you keep your eyes open.
4. Keep them interested. You don't want them yawning at the sight of you. If you're going to have them over then make sure you've planned something fun to do. For example, going to the cinema, having a swim or doing an art class. Remember that if you don't share tastes, you probably haven't got a lot going for you.
5. Know when to stop. You don't want your so-called 'BFF' resenting you and feeling presured to be your friend.
6. Be Approachable! If you're unapproachable you'll lose potential friends. Sometimes it's who comes up to you, not who you go up to.
7. Talk to your friend! Once you can trust them and feel comfortable with them, tell them that you have been looking for a BFF. Hopefully they'll accept or welcome your offer of being Best friends. Once you're at this level of friendship, it should come more easily.
8. Be nice. If you mean in any way, she/he wouldn't want to be your friend.
Questions:
1. How do you find a true friend?

3. Why do we need friends?
4. How can you tell if your friend is a good friend or not?
5. What makes a good friend?
