Human Relationships + slovná zásoba

Relation is a way of people´s behaving. The good relation means, that people are on good terms, they get on with another people.

Personal relationships are very changeable. It is enough to say something wrong and a good relationship can be changed to unfriendly. On the other hand it is enough to say a few of nice words and we can find our friends again. It seems to be very simple, but it isn´t so easy like it looks like. This type of relation is typical especially for children. At first they are friends and in few minutes they can be the biggest foes ever. If one child don´t want to lend toy to another child, this child is sad and they are friends no more. But in few minutes by another game they can be the best friends again.

Adult relationships are more different and more difficult. If somebody say or do something wrong, the another can be hurt. It isn´t so easy to be friends again. People don´t want to talk to each other, they don´t want to listen to each other. They are too obstinate, they don´t want to hear an excuse. The friendship is destroyed.

There are thousands of relationships. From marriage to friendship, through family relations, school and work relations, to relationship problems between people of differnet races, religions and social classes. We have positive relations because we don´t want to be alone. We allways need somebody, who support us, who stand by us and who is allways here for us. There are also negative relations. When people are intolerant or rude, because they know nothing about the other person or group of people, and are suspicious.

I think that I have any problems to get on with somebody. I am friendly ,I hate argueing and disagreements. I try to get on with my family and friends because I know, that these people are very important for me.
