his head, saying, “You don’t say! You don’t say!” I was 4 , I thought, perhaps this is not a
5 topic. Well, I’d 6 change the topic. So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about
the Great Wall? 7 the way, have you ever 8
there?”
“Certainly, everyone back home will 9 me if I
leave China without seeing 10 . It was great.” I said,
“The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. It is a place of 11 .” Soon I was interrupted again by his words, “ 12 !”
I couldn’t 13 asking,
“Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t ask you to do

I said, “Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say’?”

Too many people want to be their friends,but
they don’t give friendship back.That is why some
friendship don’t last long.To have a friend,you must learn to be one.You
must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you.
Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules:be
honest;be generous;be
understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts.Friends
must be able to trust one another.If you do not tell the
truth,people usually find out.If
a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest,you
may lose friend’s trust.Good friends always count on
one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow.You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes.Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feeling.These can be very valuable to a friend.They
tell your friend what is important to you.By sharing them,you help your friend know better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and helping with a problem.Something may go wrong at school.Talking
about the problem can make it easier to solve.Turning
to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem.So
to be a friend you must listen and understand.You
must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the
problem better.
No two friendships are ever exactly alike.But
all true friendships have three things in common.If
you plan to keep your friends,you must practice honesty,generosity,and understanding.
