Getting along with othersFriends play a very important role in our lives.
There are so many comments on friendship such as the following.Thousands of years ago,
our ancestor, Confucius
told us:有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎?How happy we are,
to meet friends from afar! In a poem of Wang Bo, he also mentioned:海内存知己,
天涯若比邻。A bosom friend afar brings a distant land near. Francis Bacon, a famous philosopher, also said:
A cheerful friend is like a sunny day spreading
brightness all around.

Reading strategy: understanding feelings
A letter to a magazine advice columnist
usually includes:
Descriptions of problems
Descriptions of feelings
While reading such a letter, it’s important
to identify the writer’s feelings towards a
certain problem and then think about what
advice to give him/her.Let’s take Sarah’s letter for example:How Sarah felt:Why?She thought her best friend Hannah
didn’t keep her secret.She scored the lowest mark in her
class.She found a piece of paper on her
desk that said “stupid Sarah got a D”.She thought Sarah didn’t keep
her word.Practice of Reading Strategy:
Read A friendship in trouble, and try to
find out Andrew’s problem and how he
feels about it by filling in the blanks:angryguiltyawkwardin a dilemmaHe made some cruel remarks.His best friend Matthew has stopped talking
to him.They lost the game because of Matthew’s bad performance.Matthew hasn’t spoken to him though they sit next to each other in class.Game:
Can you express different emotions
without actually mentioning the words?angry proud upset excited
surprised ashamed
sad puzzled worriedIf you were the columnist from the magazine, what advice would you give to Sarah and Andrew?DiscussionGroup work: Problem solving (1) Suppose you are the advice columnist,
what advice will you give Sarah and what
to Andrew?
Choose one of the topics and try to
think of as much advice as possible.Finish Exercise E on page 5 and get
to know what advice it is that the
advice columnist actually gives
to Sarah and Matthew.ConsolidationAnnie wrote back to the two students. Complete her replies with the words from the box below.pretended apologize awkward betrayed horrible forgive guilty swear admit cruelDear Sarah,
You have every right to feel _______ bybetrayedyour friend if she did tell your secret to others and then _________ that she was innocent, but perhaps she didn’t do it. Would a best friend really act this way?
If you still have doubts, think about why you don’t believe her. Was it because you were ashamed of your _______ grade, or because you envied her? pretendedhorribleIf so, the problem lies with you, not her. While it may feel ________, if she really is your best friend you should ________ for blaming her. However, if you really sense that she wanted to embarrass you in public, you had better find a new friend.
Yours truly
AnnieawkwardapologizeDear Andrew,
It seems you need to apologize quickly to avoid losing a good friend! Matthew probably felt _____ about losing the match, and bad about not being as gifted at football as you are. Shouting at him just made him feel worse.guiltyAlthough you both said _____ things to each other, one of you has to be the first to _______ that it was a mistake. You are simply going to have to ______ him.
You ______ that your friendship is as important as football, so don’t let a small disagreement destroy your friendship.crueladmitforgiveswearTalk to your friend and I’m sure that, before long, you’ll be back playing football together.
Sincerely
Annie If you were Sarah or Andrew, would you try to re-establish the friendship with your friend? What would you do to fix the broken friendship?Tips on being a good friend
