Relationships is not something I really think about, but they are still important to me. My relationship to my family is really close, even though I have arguments with them about weird things.

Me and my little brother are close with age, and we like the same things, sometimes. Like football we both play football, and we have the same coach or we had because I changed team. And I think that’s what makes us so close. My little brother is closer to our mom, and I am closer to our dad. I don’t know why, maybe cause when we were little my mom was more strict, and my dad wasn’t. My mom always said that I should focus on school and that school is not something that should be easy, but my dad said that I should focus on school but still have fun and sometimes care a little bit less.

My bond with my family made me who I am today, some few years ago I wasn’t mentally strong, if someone would say something mean to me I would care, but today I don’t give shit about what people say or think about me. The most relevant text to my everyday life is “Quotes about relationships” or one of the quotes in the texts. It’s the one who says “I have seen the best of you, and the worst of you, and I choose both”. Because I have seen the best of my family and the worst and I still choose both, even though we have been through ups and downs we have made it to now and living our best time of our life and made us stronger.

My parents have been through very much. They are from Kurdistan where it’s a lot of problems, it’s not even rules there. Under age people can drive cars, play with guns and more dangerous stuff. My mom had a close relationship with her brother, but he got killed for no reason. That’s one of the problems, you can get killed for no reason. Or there is a reason but not a good one. My mom’s brother also known as my uncle I never met, was a singer at that time. He wasn’t scared of talking about what he thinks, so the reason was that he didn’t mean the same things that he should mean. My mom always said that it was so hard for her to have a close relationship and then just don’t have it anymore.

Task 2. Friendships The text is about a sixteen year old girl who is trying to explain how important friendships are and how important it is to have someone to talk to. She also explains that even though you have close family members sometimes they just don’t understand and someone at your age can understand much better. She is also saying that a good friend is important at this age. She says that there is nothing better than a friend who can help you and laugh with you. This text have something to do with the theme “You and me”, because it’s about relationships with friends, and how a good friend could help you and one of the texts is about how to not be mean. And a good friend should not be mean. In one of the paragraphs it says a little about how to have a solid friendship, and the key to a solid friendship is trust. I believe that trust is important, if you don’t trust your friends then you can’t talk with them about secret things and big problems you have. Part B. Task 3B. Alejandra, 17 means that happiness is the feeling she gets when she “looks at the horizon of the sea or into the depth of the galaxies” to me that’s a rare feeling I don’t know how and why that’s happiness. What Is Happiness I woke up today, I felt something was wrong but that’s okay. I just hope no one want to be mean to me. People at school don’t like me, but hopefully my family does. My granddad loves me really much. And he is a source to happiness for me, he has always been on my side, maybe because he lives in another country and doesn’t see me as much as people in school. Today at school no one was mean or something, we have a new girl in class and she’s actually really nice, maybe she want to be my friend? Well I hope she wants to. I will go to her and ask if she wants to sit with me while we are eating our lunch, she said “yes of course”, I think she’s from England because of her accent.

Now I am sitting here with her and she just told me that she lived with her granddad and he passed away 2 weeks ago, and she needed a new start so she changed school. She also said that her granddad is a source to happiness for her, so we have something in common. 

Anyways when school was over I asked if she wants to come home with me, and she said yes. So now I’m here with her, outside my door, waiting for someone to open up the door. My mom is coming, her face is red and it looks like she’s been crying. I also started crying because I knew my granddad has passed away, because my driver said to my mom “I’m so sorry”, and that second I just felt my heart slowing down and tears falling down my face. My new friend didn’t know what was happening but she was just saying it’s alright, when she said that I felt that she was a good friend. I was sad because my granddad has passed away, my source to happiness is dead now. But I felt that my new friend is also a source to happiness, because now we have been through the same thing, now it’s easier to understand each other, and easier to support. People in my class never care about others feelings just their clothes and how much they cost, how that can be happiness? I don’t have an answer for that, but my happiness is now dead and I need to rise up and find a new one, and I think I just did… We went upstairs and we brought chips with us, she said “what should we do?” I said “maybe watch a movie”. So we did watch a movie about how earth is build up. And after that her mom called and said that she need to come home, and so did she. And I just went to bed after that. My mom came up to my room and asked if I wanted to say something at the funeral, and of course I want to. So I started writing it the same second she asked. What should I write?? Some few hours later I was done. And my speech was leading: Welcome and thank you guys for coming. I don’t have a lot to say but I hope me and my granddad will reunite one day. Thank you. That was all of it. I don’t have to proof for people how much I love him, it’s enough that I know how much he means to me, people always want to proof how much they love people. Like the people in my class in their bio on Instagram they have all of their best friends name there, is that happiness for them? They always talk shit about each other. So happiness for them is just that people think they love each other? Happiness can mean different for other people and that’s just how life is.
