Which detail best shapes the idea that honesty is important in friendship?
excerpt from Friendship
by Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are two elements that go to the composition of friendship, each so sovereign, that I can detect no superiority in either, no reason why
either should be first named. One is Truth. A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him, I may think aloud. I am arrived at last in
the presence of a man so real and equal that I may drop even those undermost garments of dissimulation, courtesy, and second thought, which
men never put off, and may deal with him with the simplicity and wholeness, with which one chemical atom meets another. Sincerity is the
luxury allowed, but diadems and authority, only to the highest rank, that being permitted to speak truth as having none above it to court or
conform unto. Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins. We parry and fend the approach of our
fellow-man by compliments, by gossip, by amusements, by affairs. We cover up our thought from him under a hundred folds. I knew a man
who, under a certain religious frenzy, cast off this drapery, and omitting all compliments and commonplace, spoke to the conscience of every
person he encountered, and that with great insight and beauty,
Answer: A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere.
Explanation:
The speaker says that a friend is someone they can be sincere with. This means that to the speaker, the underlying advantage of friendship is sincerity. Friends can be honest and truthful with one another more than others and so it can be said that honesty holds a friendship together.
This is why honesty is important in a friendship. If friends cannot be honest with one another, the friendship is fractured and according to the speaker, cannot even be referred to as friendship.

‘It’s not the possessions that matter, it’s the memories associated with them.’
Write an article for a magazine about your most prized possessions. In your article,
you could include:
1. what the possessions are
2. facts or information about the possessions
3. why the possessions are ‘prized’
Answer and Explanation:
When we talk about precious goods, many people can think of objects. In fact, there are many valuable objects, either for their economic or sentimental value. However, I would like to highlight a much more precious item than objects, the family.
Of course, not everyone has a precious family, as many families have failed to show admirable value and quality. This is not the case for my family and for that reason, I can present it as my most precious asset.
It may seem cliché and mushy, but my family has always supported me in the midst of difficulties, helped me achieve my goals and created millions of memories so precious that no objects, money or precious metals and stones can overcome.
For those who were not fortunate enough to have such a good family, I wish they could create their own families, with people with whom they have no biological bond, but are always present, stimulating progress and emotional quality.
