1. Introduction

This work is devoted to research of concept school friendship and problem of mutual relations between schoolmates. Of course this topic is not new and there are a lot of investigations about it but it is very important for us. Our class has been generated last year and all pupils of or class came from different schools of Saratov and others regions. All was new for us – school, teachers, school subjects and schoolmates. We would like to learn more about our new school, its traditions and about each other.

Lucky are those people who have friends. Each of us would like to find a new friend or a pupil with whom it was possible to discuss different problems and share secrets.

The aim of our research – to reveal the basic characteristics of concept friend, friendship, to develop recommendations for behavior a new pupil in class.

Research tasks:

– to analyse English sayings and proverbs, and their equivalents in Russian.

During our research we had to find answers to the following problem questions:

What does word friendship mean? Is it important to have friends in the modern world? What is better: one good friend or the noisy, cheerful company? How does the ideal friend look like? How should a new pupil behave in class?

Practical value – our work consists in use of materials of research directly in the course of training to English language; it helps us to improve our English.

We have used following methods:

Gathering of materials from dictionaries; questionnaire of schoolmates; consultations (with teachers of Russian and English languages); analysis and comparison; generalization; use of computer technologies.

This work may be useful and interesting for us to use the results of analysis English and Russian proverbs correctly by the writing «Code of Friendship» of our class.

2. Theoretical part. What is friendship?

We often use words, don’t reflecting about their semantic loading. What is friendship? Who is a friend and why is friendship so necessary in our life? These eternal questions have no unequivocal interpretation, cause of disputes.

We go to school not only to become knowledge. Our school life would be boring without friends. Everyone understands this word differently: for someone friend is a person with whom it is possible to spend time cheerfully and pleasantly, for another – one whom it is possible to rely, be always sure, that you are not alone.

We have addressed to Russian and English dictionaries to learn etymology and meaning this words:

3. Aptness to unite; conformity; affinity; harmony; correspondence. [Obs.] [1913 Webster]

Friendship was appreciated people by all the times. Proverbs is a great collection of people’s wisdom. We find a lot of treatments of concept friendship in proverbs.

Фольклор [3] – это создаваемая народом и бытующая в народных массах поэзия, в которой он отражает свою трудовую деятельность, общественный и бытовой уклад, знание жизни, природы, культы и верования. В пословицах скрывается смысл общепринятого поучения.

3. Practical part

Different people have different opinions on friend and friendship. Friendship is when you can enjoy someone and someone can enjoy you. You feel comfortable around each other and like their personality. Sometimes friendly relations become more important than a family.

Certainly, friendship needs time to grow, and a friend in need is a friend indeed. How do school friends influence in our life, and whether it is necessary to find real and loyal friend?

At the beginning of our research we have asked questions 25 pupils of our class:

1. Whom or what do you need in a new school?

2. How does the ideal friend look like?

3. Is it possible to have some friends? How many?

We have analyzed pupils’ answers and have showed them in the diagrams. (Supplement 1)

3.1. Research of proverbs about friends and friendship

Proverbs contain the moral developed by many generations. We have decided to find out what sense people put reflecting about friends and friendship hundreds years ago?

We built our research of proverbs as follows:

• found English proverbs and quotes about friends and friendship.

• translated them into Russian and found their equivalents.

• analyzed 50 English proverbs and sayings about friends and friendship.

We have found out that each of the proverbs or sayings explain only one side of many-sided concept friend, friendship. We have divided them into 10 groups to show their differences.

Friend is medicine. Friendship is important in our life. If we do not have friends we feel lonely.

«A faithful friend is the medicine of life» (The Bible).

2. Likeness between friends. We choose friends with similar characters or we copy them.

«Tell me your friends, and I’ll tell you who» (proverb).

3. Friendship is brotherhood. Sometimes one friend can be closer and better than the family.

«One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives». (Euripides)

4. Quantity of friends. There are opposite opinions in Russian and English languages.

« Не имей 100 рублей, а имей 100 друзей » – it means the more the better.

« Count your age with friends but not with years» – it means the less the better.

5. Friendship is wealth. Friendship is appreciated by people more expensive than gold.

«My friends are my estate.»» (Emily Dickenson)

6. Friendship is support and mutual aid. Friendly relations are important because we have a person who can help you in time, who supports you in all your beginnings and who will never betray you.

«A friend in need is a friend indeed» (proverb).

7. Long relations. We like our friends. If you are in a bad mood, friends are always a good choice to cheer you and make you happy.

«Between friends all is common» (proverb).

8. A choice of friends. A friend who sticks by you through «thick and thin» is a true friend.

«Before you chose a friend eat a bushel of salt with him» (proverb).

9. The real friend. You need to find a person who is eager to do everything for you waiting nothing in return.

«Hold a true friend with both your hands» (proverb).

10. Negative treatment. We spend much time with friends, and it is not positive influence.

«Friends are thieves of time» (proverb).

We have presented all results of our research of English and Russian proverbs in one table (Supplement 2).

The analysis of Russian and English proverbs has allowed revealing features of their use:

• Long relations between people

• Mutual attachment

• Respect and trust

• Mutual understanding

• Frankness

• Mutual aid

• Empathy

• Sincerity and unselfishness.

All collected proverbs and sayings have a various origin, give various shades to the statements. We have revealed also that fact, that proverbs and sayings in both languages have similar meaning. No matter what languages people speak, they catch the same laws of life.

But we have paid attention to differences in opinions on quantity of friends. In English proverbs to have one friend it’s enough. The British are considered not to make friends easily with people. They are reserved and unsociable.

Books and friends should be few but good.(proverb)

One friend in a lifetime is much; two are many; three are hardly possible.

(Henry Adams)

In Russian proverbs having many friends characterises wide Russian character. The Russian are said to be hospitable and generous.

Одна пчела много мёда не натаскает.

Один в поле не воин.

Один палец не кулак.

Одна рука прут не сломает.

Один за всех и все за одного.

Не имей сто латов, а имей сто друзей.

Не имей 100 рублей, а имей 100 друзей.

4. «Code of Friendship».

The school friendship represents the close relations connected by a generality of interests, pleasures and difficulties. At school we spend all day sharing our dreams, successes and disappointments with schoolmates.

According to pupils’ answers and research of English and Russian proverbs it was possible to make the recommendations how to be the loyal friend. These recommendations became «Code of Friendship» of our class.

Always come to help.

? Cheer in trouble.

? Rely on your friend.

? Don’t criticize your friend.

? Keep secrets.

? Don’t be greedy.

? Don’t gossip.

? Try to be opened.

The word friendship is conformable to a word ship. We have presented our recommendations in the shape of the ship, running on the seas of knowledge with filled sails. The only unsinkable ship is friendSHIP. Cicero (Supplement 3).
