Thanks Ada, looks like you would be ready for Tara's news on Tuesday! But I agree with you that we need friends in our lives. We are social beings and need other people and if we are not with our families, friends are the ideal substitutes! And we should look after our friendships and care for them.
I'm happy to read that you indeed read my replies to you, Maxine. It was a pleasure to share something with you that is close to my heart! As you know now, I read all the comments as that is the least I can do for the students who take the time to comment. But when I have time (I always try to make time!), it is also pleasant to me to reply to the comments, and of course much rewarding when I realize that my replies have been noted! So, thank you. About your friend, I hope you still have a friendship despite the separation; it is possible. :)
Hi,teacher.I feel so sorry about my reply because i did not made a good arrangement for it.I found a part -time job on the 3rd floor of the 3th dining hall which is to help to sell the lunch.I worked till 7:30 p.m.And go to study by myself in scheduled time in erya.Till 10:00 P.m.I arrive the dormitry.I am a delay-girl.Every thing i should deal with maybe put off for a long time.So i think i must change this bad habit.And i will make the reply in time.
The news is so sentific about astronomy.But maybe the topic about friendship could arise our interest .As a saying goes,we rely on our parents at home but go for a help when we out.Sometimes we can not get timely helps from our parents for they are not always be with us.But we could get helps in time of our sorrouding friends.So commendable it is to have friendship with others.In many conditions,people who have similar interests or hobbies could be friends more easily.Of course for the same characterastic.I think the most strong friendship should be setted up on the trust. We could not be friends with every others but we should value those who we had bacame friends with.Please value the person who are in our sight.
Thank you for the explanation, Kelly. I must admit, I was wondering lately about your replies as you were actually the only one always replying when it was necessary. Now I understand. But why do you have to work till 7.30pm if you are only helping to sell lunch (as lunch is in the afternoons)?! I think they abuse you to let you work such long hours! And I also know that you don't even get good pay as I knew other students who worked there before ... But I am glad that you could still find the time to submit your comments. Thank you. :)
Han Qing, if this was your own thoughts and work, then this was the best comment I have ever gotten about this topic. So, you know. Because I don't know and can only go by what I read, I have to accept that it originated from your 'pen' (mind). So, thank you for an outstanding comment.
Yes, people are made for one another; we can't live without friends. People without any friends usually give up on life, or they become real hermits and separate themselves from the world. Friends can make us, or they can break us. Abraham Lincoln said: "If friendship is your weakest point, then you are the strongest person in the world". I tend to agree with that.
I agree Ann, that friends are more important than bf's and gf's! We can't be without friends. Can you imagine a life without friends? I can't! Yes, a friend who knows your shortcomings but still wants to be friends, must be a good friend! I notice that you take part in our class activities with much more enthusiasm than last term, Ann! Thank you for your good attitude. :)
The news may be difficult, Pauline, but remember what I said about it in the first comment of this lesson - don't try to memorize it; it would be a disaster! Tell me in your own words (it doesn't have to be exactly as Tara told it).
Wow Pauline, that sounds like a wonderful friend you have in Dalian! Pity you are so far apart (but fortunately you also have wonderful roommates, not so?!). Yes, friendships are precious and we should look after them. They are even more important than the friendships with bf's and gf's I believe! :)
Liu Yufan, please read my comment to the class on page 3 of this lesson (just after Zhou Yuqi's comment). I am now tired of waiting on the students to comment in time. From now on 10pm on the evening prior to the class, is going to be the cut-off. I'll discuss it further in class tomorrow. Thank you.
Liu Yufan, you were first this time! Congrats! ;-) Thanks for the feedback about the attachments, but that wasn't what I meant! I was referring to the pictures I upload (post) together with the lesson content; as you can see, this time it really looks boring and uninterested with no pics to lighten it up!
Yes, one should always guard one's friendships as they are precious. I have lost some friendships during my lifetime, but I always felt sorry about it. There is a word that says, "A friend can be closer than a brother", and I think it is often true as I've experienced it my life. Some of my friends are very close (like your two friends).
