FT

A lot of people say they’ve got best friends, but I actually wonder how many people actually do have a best friend in the real sense of the word. I have two friends. One works in the theatre, and one is a sort of businessman. We see each other about three or four times a year. But I wouldn’t call that being a best friend, that is a close friend.

My Best FriendMy Best Friend Tapescript 2Tapescript 2

I think my best friend, without getting too soppy( 过于伤感的 ), is my wife. She is my totally best friend. I can discuss anything with her and she can pick up on feelings that I’ve got inside me, whereas my two friends can never do that unless I’m showing an expression on my face. Then they’ll say, “Oh, what’s the matter?” But with my wife, I can walk into a room and she knows exactly what kind of mood I’m in. That is a best friend.

One of my best friend is an eighteen-year-old boy. He is not very tall and a little thin. But he likes doing sports very much, especially playing basketball. So he has a healthy tan skin. He is warm-hearted and dependable. When seeing friends in trouble, he is willing to help them out. So he gives me a lot of help both in study and life. I feel very lucky to have such a friend.

We get along very well with each other though we are a little different in character, for example, I am very introvert but she is sociable and talkative. She is like my sister, I believe we will be friends forever.

Directions: Discuss the following question with your partner(s).

What do you think are the differences between classmates and friends?


Classmates and Friends

Classmates are those who are in the same class with you. They are not chosen by you. They are there, you know each other, but you do not necessarily get along well with each other. You have lessons together but that does not mean that you enjoy each other’s company.

Sample Answers (1)

Friends are different. They may or may not be your classmates. But on the whole, friends are those whom you like and who like you too. They can help you when you are in difficulty. You enjoy each other’s company. Life is great fun and very pleasant when you are with your friends. You can tell them everything, whether you are feeling happy or sad.

Sample Answer (2)

Directions: Discuss the following question with your partner.

Do you have net pals (网友 )? Do you think it is a good idea to have online pals?


Online Friendship

Sample Answers (1)

Yes, I have many net pals online, and I believe we can find true friendship through the Internet. In fact, the Internet improves the communication between people. Even if we are far from each other, we can keep in touch through e-mail, QQ, MSN, etc. So we can share our emotions and experiences more conveniently, we can have a more deep understanding with each other. What’s more you can meet various kinds of people online, it is easy to find one who has the same interest or personality with you, so it is highly possible that you two become close friends.

Sample Answers (2)

No, I don’t have any online pal. I don’t think it’s necessary to have them. For one thing, it’s a waste of time to talk with strangers online. If you have any trouble, you may talk with your classmates. This saves more time than talking online. For another, online pals are far away from you, they don’t share the same experiences with you. What you talk by enthusiastically hitting the keyboard of your PC may mean nothing to them. They won’t be as interested in the thing as you are. Moreover, quite a few so-called online pals could not be completely trusted since the cyberspace, to some extent, contains much cheat and false information.

How to Make Friends over the Internet

Para. 1 Para. 2Para. 3 Para. 4Para. 5

We live in the information age, which is changing our daily life. One of the most interesting developments of the information age is the Internet, which is a vast network of computers that links people, businesses and communities around the world. This passage is about how to make friends using the Internet.

Paragraph 1

1

How do we make friends using the Internet? One way is to search for websites that have topics that interest us. For example, you might be interested in football. Then you could search for a site run by a popular football club. There are hundreds of football sites, and most of them have a special website for their fans. The same is true of popular culture. Many popular music bands have websites. Once you have located the right football club or pop group, you will find an icon to click in order to “chat” with other fans.

Paragraph 2-1

2

The word “chat” ,which has become popular because of the Internet, means a light conversation among friends. Another way to make friends using the Internet is to access sites that are devoted to this purpose. When you search the Internet for these sites you will find that there are plenty of opportunities to meet people of all ages and from many different backgrounds.

Paragraph 2-2

Making a new friend is only the first step. The key to a successful relationship over the Internet is to keep in touch with your friend. When the relationship works in this way, it is very rewarding for both partners. You can set the style and pace of the exchange to suit each other. If you use “instant messenger” systems, your chat becomes a dialogue, which is a lot of fun and can help strengthen the growing friendship.

Paragraph 3

3

You will soon find that the topics go far beyond a discussion of football or music, even though these topics brought you both together. Another way to strengthen the friendship is to include your school friends in your conversations too, and then you can form your own “chat” group that meets regularly and becomes a small community of friends.

Paragraph 4

It is like belonging to a club. Your club can extend to many new and old friends, and their conversations will enrich your life in ways that you could have never imagined. If your Internet club grows then perhaps you will find ways to meet your new friends face to face, which will be another story.
