getting along well with a boy in my class. We often do homework together and we enjoy helping each other. We have become really good friends. But other students have started gossiping. They say that this boy and I have fallen in love. This has made me angry. I don’t want to end the friendship, but I hate others gossiping. What should I do?

我和班上的同学有件麻烦事。我跟我们班里的一位男同学一直相处很好，我们常常一起做家庭作业，而且很乐意相互帮助。我们成了非常好的朋友。可是，其他同学却开始在背后议论起来，他们说我和这位男同学在谈恋爱，这使我很生气。我不想中断这段友谊，但是我又讨厌人家背后说闲话。我该怎么办呢？

together. Of course a boy and a girl can be good friends. Ending your friendship with this boy would be a stupid thing to do. You would lose a good friend and someone to study with.
Teenagers like to gossip, and they often see something that isn’t real. Perhaps your classmates cannot understand your friendship with this boy. That’s no reason to stop it. My advice is to ignore your classmates. That way you will show them that you are more grown-up than they are.
Yours, Miss Wang

Speaking
Do you agree with Miss Wang’s advice? Discuss it in small groups. You may use the following expressions in your conversation.
AGREEING
I agree. Yes, I think so. So do I.
DISAGREEING
I don’t think so. Neither do I.
Me too. Exactly. No problem. Sure. That’s not right. Yes, but … Certainly. Of course. All right. You’re right/correct. Good idea. I think that’s a good idea. Sample dialogue:
S1: What do you think of Miss Wang’s advice?
S2: I agree with her that Lisa shouldn’t finish this friendship. However, I don’t agree that Lisa should ingore her classmates. I think she should tell
9
I’m afraid not. No way. Of course not. I disagree. I’m sorry, but I don’t agree. i
the teacher and the teacher should handle it.
S3: I agree that she should continue the friendship too, but I don’t think she should tell the teacher. I think she should talk to her unkind classmates and telll them how upset they are making her. Perhaps they’ll behave more kindlly then.
S4: I’m afraid not. It’s not a good idea to talk to classmates. They might be even more unkind. May be Lisa’s parents should talk to the parents of her classmates’. That might solve the problem.
S2: I’m sorry, but I don’t agree. Lisa cannot ask her parents or the teacher for help. She’s too old for that. She needs to solve the problem herself. S1: OK. So we all agree that Lisa shouldn’t finish this friendship. Let’s vote and see which solution we like best. Then we can see if our ideas are the same as the rest of the class.
Reading and writing

Dear Miss Wang,
I’m a student from Huzhou Senior high school. I have a problem. I’m not very good at communicating with people. Although I try to talk to my classmates, I still find it hard to make good friends with them. So I feel
10
quite lonely sometimes. I do want to change this situation, but I don’t know how. I would be grateful if you could give me some advice.
Yours, Xiao Dong
亲爱的王小姐：
我是湖州高中的一名学生。我有一个难题，我不太善于同人们交际。虽然我的确试着去跟班上的同学交谈，但我还是发现很难跟他们成为好朋友。因此，有时候我感到十分孤独。我确实很想改变这种现状，但是我却不知道该怎么办。如果您能给我提些建议，我会非常感激的。
你的 萧东
Sample writing 1: Dear Xiao Dong,
I’m sorry you are having trouble in making friends. However, the situation is easy to change if you take my advice. Here are some tips to help you.
First, why not go and talk to people standing on their own? I agree that this is difficult but that person may be lonely too. If you do this I am sure you will soon have a new friend.
Second, you can begin the conversation by asking about their likes and dislikes. That way you will soon find people with the same interests. I think that is a good way to find new friends.
11
Finally, you should try to join in a discussion. You may not feel that this is right, but by doing this you are letting people know how friendly you are. So there should be no problem. It should certainly provide you with some new friends. I hope you find these ideas useful.
Yours, Miss Wang
Sample writing 2: Dear Xiao Dong,
Some people like talking with others, but some people are shy. If you fall into the second group, it can be hard to make friends. But you can change the situation. What are you interested in? if you like basketball, for example, you could talk with some of your classmates who like basketball. The easiest way to start talking to people is to find something you have in common.
If you are standing beside a group of your classmates, join in their discussion if you know something about the subject they are discussing. But if you don’t, you shouldn’t feel afraid to say, for example, “That sounds interesting, what is it about?” Once you start talking to one person, it will get easier to talk to others. Find one person you have something in common with, and once you become friends with him, his friends will start talking to you too.
12
Gook luck!
Yours sincerely, Miss Wang
