Mrs. Brown lives in London.She has two sons.One is James and the other is Bill. They were born on the same day and they look the same. Mrs.Brown likes them very much and always dresses them in the same clothes,hats,shoes and even socks.
One day James lost(丢失)his hat when he played football on the playground after school.His mother didn't blame(责备)him because she loved him so much.The next day after lunch she went to a shop with Bill's hat.She hoped to buy the same hat for James as Bill's.She wanted them to have the same kind.She asked the shopkeeper to bring out most of the hats.It took her more than an hour to find the same one.At last she chose(选择)one and said happily,"Excuse me,sir.Could you take it to my car,please?”
"I'm afraid I can't,madam," said the shopkeeper in a polite(有礼貌的)voice.
"Why?"the woman asked in surprise.
"It's your hat,madam,"the man said with a smile."You don't have a new one here."
My best friend helps to the best me.
What kind of friends do you have? Are they different from you or similar to you? Different people have different ideas. The following is what four of my classmates say about themselves.
My name is Susan. I am outgoing. I like to have friends who are similar to me. Both my best friend Linda and I like traveling. We went to Italy with our families last summer. We stayed there for two weeks. Next year we want to go to Paris. |
My name is Mary. I like to have friends who are different from me. My best friend Betty is shorter and more outgoing than me. I am quiet and I like reading very much, Betty likes sports and she plays ping pong very well. |
I'm Peter. I like to have friends who are like me. It can be very helpful. I'm a little quiet and my good friend Rick is quiet, too. Sometimes I don't know what to do with my problems and he can tell me what I should do, because he understands me better than people who are different from me. |
I'm Bill, I have both kinds of friends. Different kinds of friends are important. They make my life more interesting. |
I'm Mike. Jim is my best friend. We are both 12 years old in 2017. We are at the same age. We study in the same school but in different classes.
Jim is a kind person and he can often make friends easily. When I feel worried or unhappy, I can always go to him. He always gives me some advice and he always helps me with my problems. A famous saying goes like this, "A friend in need is a friend indeed."
Both Jim and I like reading. So we often go to the school library after class. There are many books and magazines. The school library also offers good service. For example, the air conditioner(空调) is always on and you can drink free drinks there, We really like reading books there.
During the Reading Week, we always ask our friends to read interesting books. Every year, we have two long holidays. When we're on holidays, we usually go to different places.
In a word, it's lucky to have such a friend sharing interesting things together.
Three students are giving their opinions about what a good friend should be like.
Cindy |
I think a good friend should be honest (诚实的). That's more important than any other thing. And it is where a real friendship starts. If a person isn't honest, he may lose his friends' trust. |
Jerry |
I think a good friend has to be generous (慷慨的). Here being generous doesn't mean he has to give his friends money or clothes. It means he should share his ideas and feelings with his friends. In fact, his friends can know him better in this way. |
Mary |
In my opinion, a good friend should understand his friends. When there's something wrong between him and his friends, he must put himself in his friends' place and think more of his friends. |
