Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Certainly, we need to be alone sometimes. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.

Sometimes friends don’t make each other happy. That doesn’t mean that they don’t like each other any more. Most of the time, they will make up and go on being friends.

Sometimes friends
move away. Then we feel very sad. If we miss them very much, we can call them or write to them. Maybe, we can never see them again. However, we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.

There is more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are much happier. Being happy helps you to stay well.

Here is a 2-way student exchange. Fred, 19 , spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.

Fred knew little German when he arrived. But after 2 months of studying, the language became easy for him. School was very different from what he had looked forward to and it was much harder. Students stood up politely when the teacher came into the room. They took 14 subjects while American students usually took 6 in the US.

Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was the law(法律) . All the children had to do their activities with their family. Fred also missed having a car. In Germany, you should walk to go out to have a good time.

At the same time, in America, Mike was forming his own ideas. He says,’ American schools are too easy for our level but I have to say that I like it a lot in Germany , we do nothing except study. Here we take part in many other activities.

Well, how many hours do you watch television a day? You spend a lot of time watching TV, don’t you?

TV can open our eyes and minds. It also gives us a lot of useful information that we can not learn at school. For example, we don’t go out but we can know the things all over the world every day.

On the other hand, it takes away much good time to think carefully, for talking with our family and for reading books. We sometimes find that we sit in front of a TV set without thinking of anything.

It is very important for us to select good TV programs. We must try to make good use of it to plan our lives better.
