2 . It’s normal for friends to experience conflict, disagreements, and even fight. You can’t always agree on everything. Most times conflict with a friend is easily solved. But in some cases, the disagreement and the conflict grow leading to anger, sadness and even the end of a friendship. Learning to handle the conflict with friends in a healthy way is beneficial for both sides.
Calm down.
The first thing is to calm down.
It may feel as if it helps you explain your concerns more thoroughly if you bring in related examples from past events. Avoid this at all costs. Past issues for discussion only make things worse. Remember it’s important to focus on the issue at hand, not past events.
Work towards a compromise.
Unfortunately, some people believe that a compromise means a “lose/lose situation” because each person has to give up something. While this is true, every healthy relationship usually involves compromise and adjusting to others’ needs or wants.
Be careful of unhealthy friendships.
It’s generally a good idea to work through conflicts with friends. But it isn’t in your best interest if the friendship causes more harm than good.
| A．It takes two to make it work |
| B．In a heated situation, it’s easy to say or do things we later regret |
| C．Avoid explaining your concerns repeatedly |
| D．Remain on the current matter |
| E．Here are some tips |
| F．It’s important to surround yourself with people who positively influence your life |
| G．If you are in a friendship that is based more on conflict or you are the one always apologizing |
3 . The development and keeping of a strong friendship relies on the efforts of two parties. Both members should share the responsibility of developing a healthy friendship.
The development of honesty and trust in a friendship helps those involved feel comfortable when they communicate with each other. Mutual (相互的) honesty between friends helps build a solid relationship and encourages directness. Honesty also leads to trust, which is another important quality.
Though it is a simple task, listening is very important in a friendship. Making an effort to listen to your friend is a form of respect. It also shows that you actually want to learn about something important to your friend.
You should make your friend feel accepted by including him or her in activities that you both enjoy.
| A．If you want to show that you are listening |
| B．To develop a true friendship, you should treat your friend the way you are expected to be treated |
| C．When you don’t want to listen to them |
| D．Sharing whatever you have in common can go a long way in a true friendship |
| E．In a friendship, it is important to be supportive during difficult times |
| F．Try to accept your friend’s opinions even if you disagree with him or her |
| G．You should believe in your friend and expect the same in return |

Always remember a strong friendship
Long long ago, there lived a girl named Eat. She was a good girl, but she never liked her name because all the kids made fun of her name. She ran away from everybody who laughed at her name, so Eat never really had friends. She played alone all the time.
One day, Eat went to her favorite place near the river behind her house, where she always spoke to the river. On that day, when talking to the river, she said, “You are so lucky, as you can travel to different places and always be with your friends — ducks, turtles, fishes, and plants. I wish I had more friends and wouldn’t be alone anymore.”
When she was bored talking to the river, she picked up some stones and tried to skip (打水漂) them across the river. However, she failed most of the time. Finally, she found a perfect stone. She held it tightly (紧紧地) in her fingers, and said to the river, “Oh, dear river, if I could skip this stone all the way across, I would wish for a dear friend just like you.” Saying this, Eat waved her arm back and threw the stone with full strength.
She watched the stone skip once, twice... and to her surprise, the stone went on skipping and finally, on the seventh skip, made it across the river onto the shore of the opposite side. Eat was totally amazed. She could not just believe her eyes.
Her happiness were disturbed (打断) when she heard footsteps coming towards her. Eat looked around and found a little girl was rolling down towards her. Eat hurried to get up to help. However, she lost her balance and fell off, too.
The little girl was crying and holding her knee. Eat pulled herself and went close to the girl, whose knee was bleeding (流血). She said gently to the little girl, “It will be alright. My house is nearby, let me help you. My mother will take care of the wound.”

“Here you go,” Melanie said, handing Ava a pink envelope.
“Thanks.” Ava said. “But what is it?”
“An invitation to my pool party. It’s Saturday at two. There will be a lot of fun things to do. You are going to love it so much. Do come, please.” Melanie kept talking but Ava wasn’t listening.
The words “pool party” echoed (回响) through her mind. Ava had a secret she didn’t even tell her best friend Melanie — Ava couldn’t swim. Every time she tried to learn, she’d wind up with water up her nose and she’d be out of the pool as quickly as possible.
“You’re coming, right?” Melanie said
“Huh?” Ava jumped.
“Do you think you could come a little early? I could use your help inflating (使充气) the floating basketball hoops (篮筐) and the ball. And I will need you to help me set the tables.”
Ava didn’t know what to say. Melanie was one of her best friends. She couldn’t miss her party. But she didn’t want the whole school to find out she couldn’t swim. That would be too embarrassing. “I think I might be busy this Saturday,” Ava said, lowering her head. She saw the disappointment on Melanie’s face. “Maybe I could stop by for a little while, but I definitely wouldn’t have time to swim.”
Ava spent the rest of the school day trying to avoid Melanie’s questions about what she had to do on Saturday and why she couldn’t stay for the whole party. Ava felt awful. That night she asked her parents to ground her or make other plans so she couldn’t go to Melanie’s party.
“Ava, this is silly,” her mother said. “Melanie is your best friend. She won’t care that you can’t swim.” Ava wasn’t so sure.
“Just be honest with Melanie. She will understand you,” her father said.
