I think a good friend is like a mirror. You can understand people by
knowing their friends. My friend, Stephen, is a great example. We
often hang out together because we have similar hobbies and interests.
For example, we both love sports. He plays badminton better than I do,
so he always wins our matches. Because of that, I try harder when I
practise, and now I’m getting better at badminton.
Stephen and I are similar in other ways. He is as serious as me. When
we aren’t playing sports, we enjoy reading together. I read more
history books than he does, and he reads a lot of novels. We often
share interesting books with each other.

What is Matt’s opinion
He thinks a good friend is like a mirror.
Read Matt’s opinion and answer.

I don’t agree. For me, friends who are different make me better. I think
we should respect each other’s differences and learn from each other. For
example, I am kind of shy, but my best friend, Yuan Lei, is outgoing. She
has a great sense of humour too. Thanks to her, I am becoming more
outgoing. Now I think meeting new people is really fun!
I have another friend, Zhang Yong. He is not afraid to give his opinion,
especially when he thinks I am making a mistake. I am less straightforward
than he is, but I am glad to have an honest friend.

What is Diana’s opinion
She thinks friends who are different make her better.
Read Diana’s opinion and answer.

When I feel sad or have a problem, she makes me laugh and feel
better. She helps me see the silver lining in difficult situations.
My other friend, Lu cy, is not as funny as Lily. Lucy is quieter, but she
listens better than others. Lucy and I talk about everything. I know she
cares about me because she’s always there to listen.
My favourite saying is, “A true friend reaches for your hand touches
your heart.” Both Lily and Lucy are true friends. We are always ready
to help each other by lending a hand.
