I need friends who can share my emotions (情感). When I get very happy or excited, I need someone
to share with me. When I was full of sorrow or sadness, I need to talk about it with someone. I need friends
who can give me a hand when I come across difficulties or am in trouble. Of course, we take time to make
friends. We choose a friend and are chosen by a friend. We may get a lot from a friend but also need to give
much to a friend, and that is friendship. We know that it is very difficult to get help or to have a friend when
we are in trouble. So we take time to make friends so that we can have good friends to get help from if we
come across difficulties. I need friends to spend my spare time to avoid loneliness. A lot of activities require
a partner. For example, when we play table tennis or badminton, we need a partner. In this way, a friend can
make my life more exciting and meaningful.
      It seems that everyone needs a friend to live a happier life. Without friendship, life is not complete. We
need friendship for different purposes, and different purposes may need different friends. Life is made up of
friendship. Let us open our hearts and make more friends to live a happier life.

     Climbing a mountain is hard work. But one step (腳步) after another finally brings a person to the
top. Along the way, he can stop and look around. And the higher he climbs, the more wonderful his view
is. If he keeps climbing, he will have a new world before him. He will have a new way to see everything.
     Now learning a foreign language is something like climbing a mountain. This new language can give
you a new view of life. And it is more than a look at the surface of things. It can open the way into
people's minds and hearts and into a culture that is very different from your own culture. This will make
you richer, richer in things that money can't buy. Even though you never set foot (踏上) on a ship or a
plane, you can be an armchair traveler through books.
     The mountain climber stops now and then to enjoy the scenery around him. Reading is just like this.
If you are interested in it, you will find fun in books.

     Some students think it difficult to learn English well. That’s because they don’t find the right way. I
think reading is very important for students. The more you read, the better you’ll understand. Reading
is helpful to listening, speaking and writing.
     If you often read English aloud, you’ll improve your listening. On the other hand, listening a lot can
help you to read better. Reading English everywhere when you are free, if you wish. You can get a lot
of knowledge when you read. Sometimes you need to express your ideas, you can either speak or write.
That means you are using what you learned from reading. The same as Chinese, the more you read, the
better you can write. If you want to remember something, you should read again and again. So from now
on, you’d better do more reading. It’s a good way to learn English well.
