When we are very young, we spend most of our time playing with toy trucks. We may enjoy playing a sandbox or building with wooden blocks.     When we get older, we start our first real hobbies.

Others might enjoy playing an instrument like the piano or the flute. ​    As we get older, our hobbies might change or go on. Some people might spend their whole life on stamp collecting.

In her English class, the teacher asked students a question, “What is your goal（目标）for this class?” Most of the students said it was to get a high mark, but Whitney said something different. She said that her goal was to make just one good friend.     Most of the students sat quietly but a girl named Linda came to Whitney and introduced herself. She asked if Whitney would be her friend.

Congratulations on your graduation from junior high school!     I hope you have a great time during the holiday, but there is something important for you to think about—a plan for your personal growth. Here is some advice for you.      Firstly, study yourself. Understand what you like, what you value and what you want to be. In studying yourself, you check your strengths（长处）and weaknesses. Find out what you need to prepare for your dream job.     Secondly, write down your plan. When writing, you can try using Mind Maps（思维导图）. It is a good way to help you to think more clearly. And you may find a proper way to work your plan out.      Thirdly, go over your plan with your teachers, parents or friends. They may give you some advice. Think carefully about their advice and make some changes to your plan if necessary. And then you can go on with it.      Finally, ________. For example, if you want to be an English teacher in the future, you should spend more time reading English books, learning more about English culture and practising your listening and speaking from now on. You can make your dream come true only through hard work.     You may find it difficult to make the plan now. Don’t worry. All you need is just a rough（粗略的）one. Once you enter the senior high school, you’ll get a chance to make it better with the help of your teachers. And your personal growth plan may change with your age, your interest and the social development. So take your time and I believe you will grow into an excellent young man.

What are the benefits of friendships? Good friends are good for your health. Friends can help you celebrate good times and provide support during bad times. Friends help prevent loneliness and give you a chance to offer needed care and help, too. What are some ways to meet new friends? There are many people that we can make friends with, but my suggestion is to develop friendships with people who are already in your social network as itˈs more likely to be successful. Think through people youˈve interacted with—even very casually（随意地）—who made a positive（正面的）impression. You may make new friends and develop present relationships by: ●Staying in touch with people with whom youˈve worked or taken classes ●Reconnecting with old friends ●Reaching out to people youˈve enjoyed chatting with at social gatherings ●Introducing yourself to neighbors ●Making time to connect with family members To meet new people who might become your friends, you have to go to places where others are gathered. Donˈt limit yourself to one strategy（策略）for meeting people. The bigger your efforts, the greater your possibility of success. For example, try several of these ideas: ●Attend community events. Look for groups or clubs that gather around an interest or hobby you share. You may find these groups online, or they may be listed in the newspaper or on community notice boards. There are also many websites that help you connect with new friends in your neighborhood or city. Do a website search using terms（术语）such as [your city] + social network, or [your neighborhood] + meet ups. ●Volunteer. Offer your time or talents at a hospital, museum, community center, charitable group（慈善团体）or other organization. You can form strong connections when you work with people who have similar interests. ●Take up a new interest. Take a college or community education course to meet people who have similar interests. Join a class at a local gym, senior center or community fitness gym. ●Take a walk. Take your kids or pet and head outside. Chat with neighbors who are also out and about or head to a popular park and start up conversations there. Above all, stay positive. You may not become friends with everyone you meet but keeping a friendly attitude（态度）can help you improve the relationships in your life. It may also sow the seeds（种下种子）of friendship with new faces.
