3a. What's the difference between friends and acquaintances?

an acquaintance [ə'kweɪntəns] – someone you know a little

There is a difference between an acquaintance and a friend. My (1)... opinion is that an acquaintance is someone whose name you know, who you see every now and then, who you probably have something (2)... common with and who you feel comfortable with. It's a person that you can invite to your home and share things with. But they are people who you don't share your life (3)..., whose actions sometimes you don't understand because you don't know enough about them.

On the (4)... hand, a friend is someone you love. Not that you are ‘in love’ with them, but you care about them and you think about them when they are not there. I personally (5)... that they are the people whose pictures you have and whose faces are in your head. Friends are the people you feel safe and secure with, because you know they care (6)... you. They call just to see how you are doing, because a friend doesn't need an excuse. They tell you the truth, and you do the same. You know that if you have a problem, they are there to listen. They are the people who stop you from making mistakes and help you when you do. I'm absolutely (7)... that they are the people whose hand you can hold, or you can give them a hug (обнять) or a kiss and they will not think it is silly, because they understand the things you do and they love you for them. What is (8)...., they are with you. They watch you live and you watch them live and you learn from them. That's (9)...., your life is not the same without them.
