At this time they began to have “afternoon tea”. They drank tea with a snack around 4 pm to avoid feeling hungry between lunch and dinner.

The survey shows if you want to live longer and more happily, you need to have some friends who can share your sadness and happiness or can be helpful when you are in trouble.The following four types of friends are just what you need to keep the doctor away.1 A Loyal Best FriendEveryone needs a friend who will support you in different situations. This kind of friend knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same.2 A Friendly NeighborThese days, a lot of people dont know their own neighbors. Its a shame, because some neighbors can be the most helpful people. If you forget to lock the front door when you are on holiday, you can call your neighbors to lock it for you. So its wonderful to have nice and helpful neighbors.3 A WorkmateYoull find it much easier to chat with someone than eating lunch alone every day. Your workmate doesnt have to be your best friend. If you two get along well with each other, you can always start going out with them outside of the office.4 A Friend From a Different CultureIf everyone had a friend from a different culture, the world would be a much better place. Remember that dont be friends with someone just because theyre from a different culture. Instead, keep your mind open, and if you meet someone from other places, try to learn about their customs, values, and traditions.If you have such kinds of friends, you will surely live longer and more happily.Friends you need in your lifeIntroduction If you want to live a longer and happier life, you need to have some friends who 61 . and can help you when you are in trouble.Four types of friendsA Loyal Best FriendThis kind of friend knows all of your darkest anddeepest secrets, but still loves you all the same.A Friendly NeighborIf you dont 62 . when you are on holiday, you can call your neighbors to lock it for you.
