　　Task 3 Post-reading

　　A question: Is the thinner man the fat man’s true friend?
　　The thinner man is not the fat man’s true friend. When the fat man was in danger, his friend didn’t help him but ran away. A friend in need is a friend indeed. So, when our friends are in danger or in need, we should do our best to help them. We should not be selfish.
　　2. Complete Part B4 on p.10.
　　T: We can see, Betty, Max and May all have good qualities. They’re the writers’ true friends. Will you choose them as your best friend? Who will you choose and why?
