Hanfu has been popular in recent years. A growing number of young people in China are starting to wear the traditional Han Chinese clothing. And the trend(风尚)is not just popular among Chinese people. Some foreigners living in China have also fallen in love with Hanfu. Among them is a young Brazilian man named Rian.
Rian lives in Xi’an. Two years ago, he came to the beautiful city and became an English teacher at a kindergarten. After seeing many people wearing Hanfu in his city, Rian developed a strong interest in it. He soon began making short videos of himself trying on Hanfu.

Everyone needs friends, There is an old saying.“Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.” 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 finding 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 should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things cannot 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 an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.
Here are three steps to being friends again:
First, tell him or her how you are feeling, say what your friend has done wrong. and then explain why you did this or that. At last, remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often make it difficult to make and keep friends.
Be cheerful. Here are some helpful suggestions.
Connect with others
The first step to make friends is connecting with other people. You can go to public places to meet new people. Besides, you should make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places.
Do things together
Choosing friends with common interests is important because these interests would always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out together will always be a pleasant experience.
Let it grow
It is a good thing to stay in touch. However, try not to press your new friend with calls or messages and finally you may lose your friend. So you will need to give your friends time to react(反应) to you. The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.
Enjoy your friendship
The best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves. Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be.

Nobody’s perfect, so why do we think friends can never disappoint us? We all make mistakes, so it’s only normal that there are times when good friends make mistakes, too. Perhaps you think that a really good friend always knows what you need. That’s wrong—be careful! Sometimes you need to say to your friends, “Please do this” or “Don’t do that”. Don’t forget that there are times when your friends are stressed or unhappy, too. Then they can’t help you the way you would like them to.

Maybe you haven’t got any friends right now because, for example, you’re in a new city or school. When you haven’t got any friends, it’s important to wait and be patient. There is nothing wrong with you. Just make sure you’re a friendly person—so other people want to make friends with you sooner or later!

Sharing is not the best way to build a good friendship. You don’t want to tell your friend everything about yourself on the first day of your friendship. You and your friends want to share some things. But it’s important to remember that there are other things that you don’t want to share and that’s fine! Don’t feel bad about it.

You want to have more friends, right? To build a good friendship, it’s important to have fun together, to listen to your friends when they’ve got a problem, to help them when they need you, or just to go and watch a film together, or play some sports. And that takes time! That’s why I think it’s better to have one or two friends, but not a lot of friends.
A. Friends are there to help you correct mistakes.
B. A real friend will never disappoint you.
C. The more friends you have, the better.
