 Once upon a time there lived couples. They were strong and wise. They could do everything and they were happy. But suddenly there was a terrible storm and it divided couples into two halves – a man and a woman and mixed them on the Earth. Since that time people have become weak. Every half tries to find the lost one. Those who find each other, fall in love.

Many people would agree that they want to love and to be loved. But sometimes our hearts are broken Слайд 13)

Ведучі ( слайд14)

-Today we can’t but speak about friendship.

- Friendship is really a very important feeling in our life. Without friends what can we do? ( Ведучі по черзі читають рядки вірша)

When you are sad I will dry your tears,

When you are scared I will ease your  fears,

When you are worried I will give you hope

If you want to give up, I’ll help you to cope.

Why you may ask?

Because you are my friend.

But love is the best feeling in the world. Love makes the world go round. It is the greatest mystery of all times. Love helps to live. Love is the best thing that can ever happen to a man. Anyone who has never really loved has never really lived.
