  A simple three-body model of 6He is extended to include sd-continuum states
in the picture in addition to the already investigated p-states. The role of
different continuum components in the weakly bound nucleus 6He is studied by
coupling unbound spd-waves of 5He by using simple pairing contact-delta
interaction. The main focus of this paper is to outline the procedure that
allows the calculation of different configurations of 6He including continuum
states and to set up basic ingredients for computations. The method and results
discussed here will be used for the calculation of monopole, dipole, quadrupole
and octupole response of 6He.
