Everyone needs friends. But how do you find real friendship and keep it?

The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says founding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed (种子) and take care of it to make it grow.

First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend could listen to your complains (抱怨) and do his or her best to help you. To make a friend, you can’t be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.

But things can not always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have a good talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you can write a letter.

There are three steps to be friends again: Tell him or her how you are feeling, say what your friend did wrong and talk about why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is one of the most important things in your life.

On November 6, 2021, thousands of fans were in Reykjavik, Iceland watching, shouting and cheering. Millions more were watching online. But this wasn’t a football, basketball or tennis match.

When Wang Haiyan was young, her favorite toy wasn’t Barbie dolls. Instead, she started learning to make shadow puppets（皮影戏偶）from her father at 13. Now 43, Wang has spent 30 years practicing and spreading the art.

Shadow puppetry is a form of theater that use puppets made from leather（皮）or paper, accompanied（伴奏）by music and singing. It was invented during the Western Han Dynasty（206 BC-AD24）. It tells us about folk tales and historical stories, passing down culture and customs over thousands of years.

Shadow puppetry is all about creating the puppets and performing with them. Wang’s hometown of Hua county（县）, Shaanxi, is known as the birthplace of the folk art.

Puppet-makers must follow 24 steps to make the puppets including washing the leather, carving（雕刻）and painting, according to Wang. Carving is the most difficult part.

“We have a special carving skill-moving the leather under the knife.” Wang said. It took Wang three years to master this skill. She used a brick（砖）to make her left hand more powerful while practicing. It takes about 3,000 carves to make a shadow puppet. “The complex（复杂的）steps make it hard to hand down the folk art,” she said.

But Wang has found ways to do so. In recent years, she has made shadow puppets about traditional cartoons and given livestreaming（网络直播）performances. “I hope more and more young people enjoy shadow puppetry and pass it down,” she said.
