Unit 3 Getting along with others
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For days of auld lang syne.
And here’s a hand, my trusty friend,
So put your hand in mine
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For days of auld lang syne.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For days of auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
…
Auld lang syne
Who are they and how are they getting along with each other?
High Mountain and Flowing Water
Lead-in
Music talent Bo Ya loved playing High Mountain and Flowing Water, which could hardly be understood by anyone but a woodcutter named Zhong Ziqi. Bo Ya cherished this friend who could understand his music and his mood and thoughts as well. When he heard that Ziqi died, Bo Ya thought no one could appreciate his music, so he smashed his guqin and never played again.
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it's the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him.
--- Ralph Waldo Emerson
A quotation about friendship
“友谊的光辉不在于伸出的援手或是善意的微笑,也不在于陪伴之时的快乐;而是当一个人发现有人相信他,并愿意信任他时所获得的精神鼓舞。”

He and his best friend Paul do not share the same interests now.
She misses her best friend from junior high.
He is too shy to make friends with the other boys in his class.
What advice can you give to these teenagers?
He 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.
Suggestions for Bill:
Suggestions for Jane:
She can keep in touch with her friend on social media. She can also pick a day to meet her friend in person.
Suggestions for Harry:
He 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 may naturally grow.

Would you turn to online communities for advice about maintaining friendships?
