Class 6 English Unit 2: What to Revise in Friendship

  • The Unlikely Best Friends
    Review how Gajaraj and Buntee become friends and how separation changes their behaviour. Think about what the mahout and farmer notice and what leads them to reunite the animals. Language questions include past tense forms and the “neither … nor” construction.
  • A Friend’s Prayer
    Focus on the kind of friend the speaker hopes to become. The questions explore care, acceptance and the wish to understand others without judging them from a distance. You will also revisit rhyme, friendship vocabulary and the meaning of a familiar proverb.
  • The Chair
    Follow Mario’s attempt to sit on the invisible chair and compare his classmates’ reactions. Explain why the friends who support him matter more than those who laugh. The practice also includes adjectives, the suffix in “friendship” and the idea of an acrostic poem.

Notice What Friends Do

Make a small list of helpful actions in the two stories and the poem. Match each action with a quality such as kindness, honesty or acceptance. Then try the questions about characters’ feelings and choices. If two options seem possible, look for the one supported most clearly by the event or line being discussed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Unit 2 teach about friendship?

The unit explores friendship through companionship, understanding and support. Its characters and speaker show that being a friend involves how we treat others, especially when they need help.

Are all three chapters included in the 40 questions?

Yes. Questions 1–15 cover The Unlikely Best Friends, 16–26 cover A Friend’s Prayer and 27–40 cover The Chair and its connected activities.

How should I answer questions about feelings?

Notice the situation and the character’s actions before choosing an emotion. For instance, refusing food after separation gives a stronger clue than simply knowing where an animal lives.
