Unit3　Getting along with others
Friendship on the rocks: please advise！
As a teenager, it is common for us to have difficulty maintaining friendship. Watch the video and finish the following exercises.
Bill’s problem:
Jane’s problem:
Harry’s problem:
Bill and his friend do not share the same interests now.
Jane misses her best friend from junior high.
Harry is too shy to make friends with the other boys in his class.
What advice can you give Bill, Jane and Harry
Harry needs to be brave enough to be the first to say hi to his classmates. Then he will find they are friendly and a friendship naturally grows.
Bill can talk to his friend about this problem first. If his friend also feels the same, perhaps it is time to rethink their friendship and let go of it.
Jane can keep in touch with her friend on social media. She can also pick a day to meet her friend in person.

What are the similarity and differences between Cindy’s and David’s advice
1. Whose advice do you prefer Why
2. What helpful advice can you offer Amy
I would take Cindy's advice. It will be a bit quick to say goodbye to an eight-year friendship with my best friend simply because of a misunderstanding. I am sure she would give me a reasonable explanation. After a heart-to-heart talk, I believe their friendship will become more solid.
