【题目】 I will never forget what my old headmaster taught me when I was only 15 years old. Every time I drift off course, I get reminded of this story.

It was a normal Monday morning, and he was making a speech to the students on important things in life and about devoting ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went.

An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the subway. He would get the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years. His house was dirty, and a stench came out of the house and it smelled horrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they asked the police officers to clean the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years.

The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house to tell the good news to him. When he arrived home that evening, he was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire. He said nothing at all. He went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, got into the train, and sat at the street corner and continued to beg. Obviously, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything important for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.

【题目】 When you have a different opinion from your friend, what should you do? I think the best way is to talk to your friend and tell him or her how you're feeling. It's always important to tell your friend your feelings.

Of course, sometimes friends_do drift_apart. As we grow older, we have different interests and sometimes this means that a friendship may not be as close as it was. This also means that you may find a different group of friends to spend time with.

Then what should you do to keep a friendship? One helpful thing is to be sure you let others know you like them. Smile to them, talk to them and show your interest to what they say and do. People usually like to make friends with those who appreciate them.

It's also important to remember that you should always be yourself. When you try to keep the friendship,you might begin to do things or act in some ways that aren't normally part of your personality. If your friend is unfriendly to you, that doesn't mean you should become unkind to other people. If keeping a friendship means you have to become someone who you aren't, that friendship isn't worth keeping.
