Text(正文):
Teenagers like to gossip, and they often see something that doesn\'t exist．Perhaps they can\'t understand your friendship with this boy．But that\'s no reason to throw it away．You should feel sorry for those students who have never enjoyed such a friendship．My advice is to ignore your gossiping classmates．That way you will show them that you are more grown up than they are．
Yours,
Wang Fei

Speaking
The purpose of this activity is to encourage independent thought and action in matters of immediate concern and interest to students．Writing their own survey gives them this chance．So it is important for each group to design its own questions．They may use the questionnaire in Warming Up as an example．
Sample dialogue:
A: Now let us design a questionnaire to find out what kind of friend one is．
B: OK．First we must think of four questions and three possible answers to each question．
C: What about the first question? Have you got one in mind?
D: Suppose your friend has taken away your book by mistake．What will you do or say to him / her?
C: That\'s a good question．Let me put it down．\"Your friend has ... \"
B: Then how about the three possible answers?
A: Well, the answer I think should be \"You will ask your friend to be more careful next time．\"
D: I agree．The worst choice may be \"You will get upset and won\'t talk to him / her any more．\"
A: All right．One more choice．Listen, I\'ve got one．\"You will ask your friend to return it to you．\"
B: That\'s quite natural．How many points shall we give each possible answer?
D: The highest score is two．The best should score two and the worst zero．
B: The third will score one．Shall we go on to the next question?

Reading and writing
This activity enables students to express their feelings and to help others．In other words, it gives students a better understanding of how to deal with this common situation．This is as much a role play as a writing activity, so it is important for students to discuss their ideas first．In this way they can collect their ideas, sort them out and prepare to write．
Sample writing:
Dear Xiaodong,
Some people like talking with others, but some people are shy．If you fall into the second group, it can be hard to make friends．But you can change the situation．
What are you interested in? If you like basketball, for example, you could talk with some of your classmates who like basketball．The easiest way to start talking to people is to find something you have in common． |
