Module 3 Interpersonal Relationships --- Friendship Cultural corner 选修六 Friends Reunited Scanning--- What is Friends Reunited? How do you use it? It is a website where you can find old friends. You type in their name or look at their school, college, sports team or neighbourhood and try to find them. Careful reading--- Can you tell me the key words of each paragraph? Definition Development Method Influence Friendship isn’t always easily described. The Eskimos, they say, have a hundred different words for snow. Unfortunately, the English language isn’t quite as innovative, though it has vast opportunities to differentiate meaning. Certainly, Love is one of those opportunities. And so, too, is Friendship. Instead of different words, however, we’re stuck with simple adjectives. Close friend. Best friend. Childhood friend. Intimate friend. Trusted friend. Beloved friend. But whether you use adjectives or different words, few could deny the nearly infinite meaning in such a simple word. Friends are special people. We can’t pick our family, and we’re sorely limited in the number of them at any rate. Society and mores (and often our own conscience) dictate we select a single mate. But our friends can be as diverse and infinite as the adjectives we choose. Our friends, in a very real sense, reflect the choices we make in life.
