Friends are important for everyone. But it’s not easy to find friends. For most students, true friends are harder to find. If you have some good friends, you should do your best to keep your friendships.

It’s the easiest to make friends and keep friendships with people who have the similar interests or hobbies as you. You can spend happy and relaxing time together, and share your feelings about your interests. However, sometimes it’s not necessary for you to be the same. You may have different ideas and habits; then trying to understand and respect each other seems to be more important.

The way you talk with your friends is important. When you talk with them, ask questions to help them start and keep talking. But don’t ask personal (私人的) questions, such as their parents jobs and salaries (薪水). These questions will make them feel unhappy. They may dislike talking with you and try to walk away. In that way. you may lose some friends and your friends will be fewer and fewer.

Another important thing is listening. Listen carefully to what your friend is talking about, and respond in the right way. It doesn’t have to be with words. Body language can be enough to show that you’re listening. Talk about your ideas after your friend finishes his talking.

In short, we should do our best to keep friendships as long as possible. Friends and friendships help make our life more wonderful.

When I was a kid, I was afraid of water. However, my brother and sister loved water so much. Every time I got close to water, my body shook with fear (因害怕而颤抖).

I went back and Grandpa said, “  46   I’ll take the horse to the river.”

The next morning after breakfast, Grandpa told me to wear a pair of shorts. He took me down towards the river. He said, “I’m going to teach you to swim.   47  .” He held my hand as we got close to the water.

Mariachi is also popular with these students’ parents. Many of them are from Mexico. They listened to mariachi music every day when they were young.
