Helping our friends
Do you know where the word “friend” come from
What is its original meaning
The word “friend” comes from the Old English word “freond ”, meaning “the loved one”.
According to a study from Yale University and the University of California at San Diego in 2014, good friends are often genetically similar. In fact, good friends can share up to 1% of the same genes — as much as we might share with our great-great-great grandparents!

Andy: Hello!
Clara: Hi, Andy! This is Clara. Matt just called me. He said he broke his leg and couldn’t make our trip to London this week.
Andy: What a shame! He’s been looking forward to it for ages. Why don’t we wait until he’s better
Clara: He said we should go without him. It will take quite a while for him to get well again. He doesn’t want us to give up our holiday because of him.
Andy: But Matt is our friend. He needs our comfort and support. Let’s think about ways to cheer him up!
Clara: You’re right! We could send him photos of the places we visit.
Andy: We could, but that might make him feel even worse. I want to make him laugh.
Clara: How about sending him funny postcards from every place we visit
Andy: Maybe, but postcards can take days to arrive. How about having a video chat with him wherever we go That way he can see everything, too.
Clara: That’s a good idea. But you aren’t allowed to take videos in some places. OK, I’ve got it — why don’t we take Matt with us
Andy: What about his broken leg
Clara: Not the real Matt. Let’s make a “Flat Matt”!
Andy: What !
Clara: We can print Matt’s photo on a life-sized cardboard cutout. We’ll then take it with us and whenever we take photos in London …
Andy: [interrupts] Matt will be in the photos, too, as if he were there with us.
Clara: That's right! “Flat Matt” will go to London with us, and the real Matt will laugh at the photos.
Andy: OK, Clara. Let's do it!
