True friends are hard to find. You often think you can believe in someone, but later he or she may let you down. However, always be a good friend yourself and you may change the situations.
Part of being a friend is being prepared to devote your time and energy to helping out your friend. If your friend needs a shoulder to cry on, just be there for him or her. You will attract those who value your loyalty.
When you say you will do something, do it. When your friend tells you a secret, keep it secret from others. Be someone that people know that they can rely on. If you show this quality to your friend, he or she will appreciate it and will be reliable in return.
Be a good listener.
Many people think they have to appear very interesting. Far more than that, however, is your ability to show that you’re interested in others. Listen carefully to what people say, remember important details about them, ask questions about their interests, and take time to learn more about them.
Show others what makes you stand apart from the crowd. Talk about interests and hobbies. Everyone has interesting stories to tell—don’t be afraid to share yours. Besides, a little humour always keeps a conversation light and happy. People love to be around someone who makes them laugh.
A. Be a reliable friend.
B. Be loyal to a friend.
C. Stress your good qualities.
D. Tell your secret to your friend.
3 . True friendship lasts a lifetime. Years can pass, but the love always stays the same.

Luo Yan and his wife and son travelled back to their hometown for the Spring Festival. Their journey
On their arrival, they found Luo’s parents eagerly waiting for
With midnight
6 . When Randy Smalls found out that his daughter, ReOnna, was in a group of students who bullied(霸凌) a girl at school, he couldn’t bear to sit back.
As someone all-too-familiar with being bullied, he felt they should say sorry to Ryan Reese, the girl who was getting picked on. And in doing so, he also found a way to teach his own daughter a lesson. He decided to help Ryan buy brand new clothes. ReOnna was upset, especially because she is into fashion. So Randy asked her to come with them and help pick out Ryan’s new clothes. Randy also took Ryan to get her hair done at asalon (美发厅). Randy’s generosity became inspiration. Several local salons also offered to help keep her looking beautiful in the months that followed.
Upset as Re’Onna was at first, the more time she spent with Ryanthe more she began to truly understand the importance of not bullying. Not only because it’s not okay to hurt others but because you never know what someone else is going through. For Ryan, that included losing her dad, grandpa, and aunt in a short period of time. “I wasn’t expecting it,” Ryan said. “I just started to cry. It really took me deeper down in my depression.”
“As parents, we have to take responsibility for what our children do,” Randy said. “We can teach our children, but when they go and are around other children, something terrible may happen. When situations like this happen we have to take action and be the parent and not the friend.”

How to show your love to your parents
Sometimes it is difficult to understand your parents because they are from a different generation. Yes, we know how it feels, but remember, your parents always love you. Here are some ways to show your love to them.
