Pre-reading
1.Do you think there are "friends for life"? Why or why not?
Yes, I do. I know some of my parents' friends who have been friends with my parents since primary school and they are still the best of friends. They all grew up in the same neighbourhood and went to the same schools. Even if they do not see or talk to each other often now, they know each other so well and can rely on each other no matter what happens. I believe friends of this type will remain friends for life.

2.Would you turn to online communities for advice about maintaining friendships? Why or why not?
Option 1: I don't think I would because I don't like to share my personal problems online. I think it is better to speak to my friends or ask my parents for advice if something is wrong. Sharing personal problems online can lead to more problems such as the invasion of your privacy by people you don't know. It could be embarrassing and even quite dangerous.

2.Would you turn to online communities for advice about maintaining friendships? Why or why not?
Option 2: Yes, I would because I think there are many people of my age online that can give me advice. I feel shy to talk about my problems with my friends or parents, so online communities are a great way for me to express myself. When I chat to my online friends, I feel part of a community that comes from similar backgrounds and has had the same experiences. We can therefore share advice with each other without feeling embarrassed.

2. What helpful advice can you offer Amy? Draw on your own experiences to give a reply to her post.
I had a friend who did something similar to me. We planned to go to the Science Museum together, but he pulled out at the last minute. I was upset that he completely ignored my feelings. I frankly explained to him how I felt, and he told me his side of the story. We are still best friends today because we are so honest with each other. The key is communication. Try not to be negative.

3. Imagine your friend has lied to you. How would you respond?
I would expect that he/she has a good reason for not telling the truth. I would talk to him/her immediately and ask him/her the reason. Then I would tell him/her that even though I understand what he/she has done, I don't like lies and that friends should be frank with each other.

There are many important things in life. Not everyone agrees on which is the most important. Some people say health. Others say things like a good job. For me, the most important thing in life is friendship. I cannot imagine living without it.
