Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.

“Water polo is a new sport at our school, but we have a good team now. We practise after school on Thursday at the Northside Pool and we're doing well in the National Schools Competition.

There are seven players in a water polo team. The game is a bit like football because each team tries to score a goal with a ball. But in water polo you don’t use your feet - you catch and throw the ball with one hand. And you never stop swimming. A game lasts 32 minutes, and in that time you swim up and down a 30-metre pool lots of times. If you aren't fit, water polo isn’t the sport for you!

For me. it’s great. because | love being in the water and | can swim fast. I also enjoy being part of a team. We have some excellent players and we're all good friends. So it's fun, and it's also a fantastic way to get fit.”

Read the passage carefully and decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F)

I like to think that I’m qualified to talk about friendship. See, I hardly have any friends, so I can look at the issue objectively, as an outsider. I could get all emotional about the topic of friendship, and the drama that can cause some friendships to end. However, friendship is something that can be considered to be seasonal or unconditional.

So, for me, it’s interesting to look at it from the perspective of our various life stages, and to see which friendships survive each transition. Friendship conjures a few interesting memories for me, the main one was in primary school, where my schoolmates would spend most of break time arguing or discussing various going-ons, from who could have a piece of whose snack to who was whose best friend.
