Project 1:
Teenagers’ friendships
My friend, Robert, has a twin sister named Amanda. Though they get along well, there are some things about Amanda and her friends that puzzle Robert. He can't understand how girls can talk for so long. For example, sometimes when he leaves the apartment to play football, Amanda and her friend, Sharon, will be sitting on the sofa, talking. When he comes back three and a half hours later, they're still sitting on the sofa, continuing the same conversation on the same topic. One day Robert was so curious that he asked Amanda what they talked about, but she replied, 'We’re best friends. We talk about almost everything—film stars, pop songs, recipes, everything!'
Boys and girls have different attitudes towards friendship. Friendships between girls are usually anchored in shared feelings and support, but friendships between boys are based on shared activities or interests. A boy is likely to be cautious about sharing his feelings with his close friends. A girl’s closest friend, however, might be eager to tell her about something that happened in her life.
Many studies worldwide show that girls have more friendships than boys. In fact, many adolescent males cannot name a single best friend. When asked, they usually hesitate before responding, 'My best friend? I can't think about that. I am busy with my homework, and I have so many different friends that it is hard to choose just one best friend.'
Females who have been asked can usually answer the question without pausing, 'A best friend? Of course. We have a lot to share with each other. We do a lot of things together such as talking and shopping.'
We have to realize: boys share activities, while girls share feelings. The qualities that boys and girls consider important in a friend seem to be the same, regardless of the basis of these friendships. The important thing to remember is that both of them are friendships. We all need friends in our lives.

What friendship means to me
When deciding what is most important in life, some people choose money, while others choose things like security and comfort. However, for me, the most important thing in life is friendship. I cannot imagine being without it.
Friendship means not being alone. Once I was travelling by myself through Beijing on the way to my grandparents' house. Since my next train left in the evening, I had a day for sightseeing. At first, I didn't mind being alone, but then I saw all of the tourists having their pictures taken together, and I began feeling sad. I ended up returning to the train station and spending the rest of the day in the waiting room. Life is no fun without a companion to share it with.
Friendship means having someone I can rely on. Last year, I left my schoolbag on a trolleybus, and I lost all of my notes for the final exam. You can imagine how I panicked. Luckily for me, my best friend Jenny let me copy her notes, and I used them in my revision. Thanks to her help, I was able to pass the exam.
Friendship means being committed to others. The best way to have a friend is to be a friend. Because I am a friend, I have had to learn patience and mercy. Once I had a quarrel with Jenny, and she made some cruel comments about me. Even though I was hurt, I forgave her and she later made an apology. Through this incident, both of us have become better people. However, if I had ended our friendship, we would have both learnt nothing.
In conclusion, when we are old and look back on our lives, what will we remember? Will we remember the things we bought or the places we have been to? No, we will remember those whom we loved and those who loved us. We will remember our friends.

◆ In your English class, the teacher shows the picture below and asks the class to discuss it. Your classmates may have different understandings.
Look at the picture carefully and tell the class how YOU understand it.
注意：词数150词左右。
Possible version:
As we can see in the picture, a girl is getting stuck in a bottle. Regardless of this situation, she looks optimistic, sitting on a pile of books she has read and absorbed in reading the one in her hands. That is because she believes that the books can serve as a ladder leading up to the opening of the bottle. The more books she reads, the sooner she will get out of the bottle.
This picture reminds me of the famous saying: Knowledge is power. And the books are the sources of knowledge. Books, which can give us power to conquer difficulties, are the best friends of us. When you come across problems in your daily life, you can always refer to books, which can help you find out solutions. Just like the girl in the picture, despite the fact that she is stuck in the bottle, she could eventually get out of it by reading as many books as possible. As for us students, by reading books, we can accumulate adequate knowledge to face the challenge in the future. So let’s read more and success will be ahead of us.
