Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. We can share 1.s with our friends and turn to them for help when we are in trouble. In a word, it is nice to have a friend to 2.t , laugh and do things with. Certainly, sometimes we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel 3.l if we never had a friend.
To make 4.f , you must be friendly. A cheerful person smiles. A smile always makes the others like you. Smile at someone and you are sure to get a smile5.b from him.
Try to remember names. It6.m your new friends feel happy when you call them by their names, 7.b you don’t forget them.
No two people are just the same. If you don’t agree with other people, you should still be friendly. Do not argue, but 8.d . You always lose friends if you argue too much. And you should think more of others than 9.o yourself. It’s good for teenagers to have one or a group of good friends. This is very 10.i in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss things which are too difficult to say to their family members.
There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live 11.l than people who don’t have. Why? It could be that they12.a happier. Being happy helps you stay well and it could be good just knowing that someone cares about you.
Hi Brad,
It’s good to hear from you again. I find that I’m not good at writing compositions. It’s hard for me to prepare the form of a composition and organize sentences. ①Could you tell me how to deal with this problem? I would really appreciate if you offer me some good methods.
Best wishes,
Cindy
Hi Cindy,
A composition is really a story and any story is told to an audience. There is a form for this and it is in three parts. First, tell them(the audience) what you are going to tell them. Then tell them, and finally tell them what you told them. Parts one and three are short and most of the information is in part two. It works like this.
Let’s say you are asked to write a 200-word composition about your visit to the Great Wall. You would begin with an opening sentence or two saying something like “The Great Wall of China is a national ②landmark that is famous around the world. I visited it last summer and I want to tell you about it.” That uses about 25 words to tell them what you are going to tell them.
The second part would be about 150 words and would contain information about the Great Wall such as how long it is, when it was built, who built it and why, the fact that it is one of the seven wonders of the world and you would talk about how you felt and what you thought when you visited this national treasure. This is telling them.
Finally, you would use about another 25 words to say something like “That was my first visit to the Great Wall and it was a very emotional experience to actually touch something so old and famous. ③每个中国人至少参观长城一次.I plan to go back whenever I can.” Here, you are telling them what you told them in the story and wrapping it all up into a neat package. This formula(惯例)works for both compositions and speeches and I think you will find it helps to organize your thoughts. I hope it’s helpful.
Best wishes,
Brad Franklin
