Complete the text by using suitable forms of the words. Choose the correct word.
A friend in need is a friend indeed
Do you cheer your friend when he or she is down? Do you notice when he or she looks ? Does your friend feel better after you to him or her? Then you really are a good friend. What can you do to make your friend better? Well, first of all, you should take some time, listen and just “be there”. Don’t try to make your friend change his or her feelings or offer solutions immediately – most people just need someone to listen to them, someone has an open ear. Going a walk often helps, too. Perhaps your friend already feels a bit more relaxed after that. You can also suggest some sport or take your friend to the club, for example. After that, call your friend from time to time to ask how they are feeling and let them know you care about them.
