Will you worry that your friendship (友谊) may change because of it? Here is some advice to help you keep a long-distance (远距离的) friendship. First, often make video calls to your friend. If you just send messages to your friend, it is not enough. Although it’s a good way to show your care, you also need to talk face to face. By making video calls, you can see his or her expressions (表情) and know how he or she truly feels. Second, remember to contact (联系) your friend on important dates like his or her birthday. It will make your friend happy because someone remembers the days that are special to him or her. Third, prepare small gifts for your friend sometimes. The gift doesn’t need to be very expensive. It can be a pretty hat, a hand-made bag or an interesting book. Your friend will surely feel surprised and glad when getting your gifts. What’s more, living in different places doesn’t mean you can’t do the same things together. For example, you can read a book or watch a movie—anything that both of you can do in your respective (各自的) places. Then you can share your ideas with each other after finishing it.

A doctor from the hospital said, “We deal with the kids disease (疾病), while Chang helps solve the problems of their livings. She brings hope to lots of families.” Doctors often meet parents there to offer medical help.
