【推荐3】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 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 friends? You have to talk to him or her. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.

There are three steps to being friends again:

Tell him or her how you are feeling, say what your friend has done wrong and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

【推荐2】Many kids think they are too common. They think they are not the prettiest or the smartest. At the same time, they think they are not the ugliest or the silliest. Everyone feels that way, especially in middle school. Sometimes kids don’t know how special they are. When they see outstanding athletes(优秀运动员) or cool pop stars, they often think: Am I outstanding? What am I going to be when I grow up?

It’s part of growing up. Growing up means understanding what you can do and what you can offer the world. When you are young, you don’t see that. But when you get older, you may know that just by being yourself, you do offer something to other people.

Maybe you aren’t the best, but that doesn’t make you “not special”. Do yourself a favor. Think about your friends. Write down some things that you like about them. Think carefully about why you are friends then you will know that though they aren’t the smartest or the prettiest, they are great in their way. And they feel just the same as you!
