Feeling left out?

A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn’t around. Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.

　 It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends. But how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.

Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” when you have lunch. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.

　 If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.

　 You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she left. You can introduce her to your new friends!

The story starts in a German classroom. A teacher gives an exciting speech to his students about the glory of war. He encourages his students to join the war, so that they could bring honour to Germany. So the whole class of students join the war and leave together.

They are brought to a training camp and then are sent to a post with some soldiers that have been on the front for quite some time. The soldiers try to gather food up to satisfy their hunger. More and more young boys die of hunger.

Most of the soldiers wonder about why the war is happening and why they cannot just go home. They wonder why they can't just throw all of the kings into a large field and let them fight it out among themselves. It is not long before only one of the young men from the start of the movie is left. All of the other young men have died. Paul (the last young man) is wounded（受伤） badly. He returns home to see his mother. He goes around town and it seems like nothing there has changed. The people are still talking about the glory of war. Paul can't help feeling sorry for them, because those people who never go to the war field cannot understand how terrible the war is.

When he returns back to the front, his friends all have died. The film ends with the death of Paul. A gun shoots him when Paul is catching butterflies. On the newspaper there is only A// Quiet on the Western Front.
