Step 2 Read Rose's post (3a) (12 mins) Teacher: Ask students to read Rose's post silently and answer: "Is Rose's opinion the same as or different from the posts in Section B 1b?" Guide students to find the key sentence: "I don't really care if my friends are similar to or different from me." Then ask students to read again and fill in a simple table about Lily and Lucy on the board. Students: Read the post. Find the answer. Complete the table: Lily: funnier than anyone else, makes Rose laugh, helps her see the silver lining. Lucy: quieter, listens better, always there to listen.
