Comprehension Check
2.1 Focusing on the
main ideas
Why do friendships end? The author
offers some insights into the question.
Friendships end because the situations
friends are in change
. These changes
can’
t
help
but
affect
a
friendship.
Next,
the
friends
themselves
may
change.
The
breakups can be mutual or one-sided. It
hurts less when both friends change. What
tends to hurt most is when just one
friend changes. A third reason is that as much
as
two
people
might
want
a
friendship
to
survive,
one
or
both
of
them
might
unintentionally
neglect it. Lastly, conflicts can cause the end of
a friendship, since
most friendships
have breaking points under pressure.
2.2 Digging into detail
1. Why do some
friendships end, no matter how much you want them
to last?
2. When you decide to relocate
for a new sch
ool or job, this can’t
help but affect a
friendship. Likewise,
if a friend of yours is in an accident, develops
an illness,
or loses someone close,
these situations
can’t help but affect
a friendship. These
events can end
friendships if the necessary adjustments are not
made.
3.
For
example,
when
one
or
both
friends
start
to
date
or
get
married,
their
friendship may come to
an end. It hurts less when both friends want to do
so. It
tends to hurt most when just one
friend changes.
4. Friendship needs
regular
care. Taking a friendship for
granted can cause it to
break.
5.
A
blow
to
a
flower.
If
a
flower
gets
repeatedly
trampled
on,
it’ll
eventually
break. So even those amazing close
friendships need care when conflicts arise.
