In our daily life,friends are needed. Everyone likes feeling close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don¡¯t always want people around. But we will feel lonely if we never have a friend.

No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don¡¯t get along well. That doesn¡¯t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up and go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we call them and write to them. It could be that we would even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.

Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men or women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.

Parents often assume that time spent with their kids will gradually decrease in adolescence. But a new study suggests that while teens try to avoid spending a lot of time together with their parents, private parent-child meetings may actually increase in their early adolescent years. And that may raise a teenager¡¯s self-esteem (×Ô×ð) an social confidence, especially if it is time spent with Dad, the researchers added.

The researchers created a long-term study in which they invited families in 16 school districts in central Pennsylvania to participate. In each family, a teenager, a younger sibling, their mother and their father were interviewed at home and then asked about their activities and self-worth five times over a period of seven years.

The study authors were surprised to discover that when fathers spent more time alone with their teenagers, the kids reported they felt better about themselves. Something about the father¡¯s role in the family seemed to improve self-esteem among the teenagers in the study, said study author Susan McHale, a professor of human development at Pennsylvania State University.

¡°Time spent with Dad often involves joking, teasing and other playful interactions. Fathers, as compared to mothers, were more involved in leisure activities and had more friend-like interactions with their children, which is crucial for youth social development,¡± the study showed.

But Marta Flaum, a psychologist in Chappaqua , New York, said, ¡°How these findings reflect the real world is a real question. The sample in the study is so small and so unrepresentative of more families in the country today that I¡¯m not sure how much we can generalizing from it. In my community, in Westchester County, I don¡¯t see parents and teenagers spending much time together at all. Parents are often working so hard and have less time to be together with their kids.¡±

However, Flaum encourages parents tom make time for their kids no matter how much work they have to do. ¡°Research like this reminds us of how important it is. The time we have with them is so short, ¡± she said.

After dropped our bags, we wandered around in the streets. The city was peacefully and people seemed to be enjoying their life very much. The place that we had our dinner was called ¡°The Crown¡±, a pub dated back to 1826, when the first train ran from Belfast to Lisburn.

We met two European girls having Chow Mein, fried noodles, when we were having a rest in the hall of the hotel later. They told us they have bought the noodles in a Chinese restaurant named Eastern Land. We decided not to go there the next evening so that we could taste it.
