Be polite and considerate

I definitely understand how you feel.
I’m sure you can solve this problem together.
It is sad to move on, but you have to accept that …
Be selective and persuasive
Perhaps ..., or maybe ... In any case ...
I also had a friend who ... (Support them with personal experiences or stories, if possible.)

2. Understanding the changes of emotions
T guides Ss to answer the following question by analyzing the changes of Amy’s emotions:
How did Amy feel when she discovered that her best friend lied to her
The changes of emotions: shocked (I received a horrible surprise. How stupid I was!) → angry (I was so angry that I avoided her during school all day, and I still don’t feel like responding to any of her online messages.) → confused (The stress of this situation is killing me. I’m at a loss what to do next.)
3. Further thinking
T guides Ss to further reflect on the lessons that can be learned from the forum exchange about friendship.
Friendship will no longer last if there is no trust.
Suggestion: Don’t ever lie.
Cold war won’t help to fix a broken friendship.
Suggestion: Have a face-to-face talk. Remember to be open-minded and frank and to be a good listener.
Friends come and go in life. Not every friend deserves to be cherished/treasured.
Suggestion: Let go of the past and move on.
