D Memories with friends >> Writing
Your school’s English Club is holding a writing competition. The task is to describe a moment when you or your friend proved to be a true friend.
D1 Think
Read the story. Why was Lily the writer’s true friend?
Lily and I are best friends, but a joke almost drove us apart. She said she was just trying to be funny, but I thought it was rude.We stopped talking to each other.Then one day everything changed. I was sharing an English poem in class, and it went terribly wrong. I forgot the words. My legs were shaking, and my mouth felt dry. Ms Li gave me
an encouraging smile, but my mind just went blank.Then I heard a whisper. It was Lily. She was prompting me.We had once read the poem together, and she remembered it! I finished the poem in the end, and everyone clapped. I was over the moon especially because I
had my best friend at my side again.
drive us apart 使我们疏远(闹掰)
went terribly wrong (事情)搞砸
over the moon 欣喜若狂
mind went blank 大脑一片空白
D1 Think
Read the story. Why was Lily the writer’s true friend?
(Answers may vary.) She helped the writer when she needed it most. Even though they had an argument and stopped talking to each other, Lily didn’t stay angry.When the writer forgot the words while sharing an English poem in class, Lily helped her out by prompting her.
D2 Prepare
Compare the sentences in the draft with the revised version. Why did the writer make these revisions?
D2 Prepare
Compare the sentences in the draft with the revised version. Why did the writer make these revisions?
(Answers may vary.) The writer revised the draft to add vivid details (e.g.“My legs were shaking, and my mouth felt dry.”) and stronger emotional language (e.g. over the moon) to make the story more engaging and natural.
D3 Plan
Follow the steps to plan your own story.
1. Think about a moment when something special happened to you and your friend.
2. Think of details to prove your friend is a true friend.
3. Choose specific words and expressions to show the readers exactly what is happening (or has happened).
D4 Write
Write your story.
D4 Write
sample:
Last month, I fell behind in math after missing school due to illness. I was worried about the coming test and felt really upset.
My best friend Tom noticed my trouble. Every afternoon after school, he came to my house to help me review. He patiently explained every lesson and even made simple examples to help me understand. When I made mistakes, he never got angry—he just encouraged me to keep trying.
Thanks to his help, I passed the test. That day, I learned what a true friend is: someone who stays with you when you are down and helps you stand up again. I will always value this friendship.
D5 Check
Check your story. Pay attention to the use of specific words and expressions.
TEEN skill Using specific words and expressions
Words and expressions can be general or specific. Specific words and expressions help to create a clear picture by presenting details.
teacher instructor/coach/professor/...
say argue/explain/suggest/...
beautiful lovely/handsome/pretty/...
He was nervous. His legs were shaking./...
Additional materials
Some general rules for transforming general expressions into specific ones in English
1. Replace general nouns with specific terms
• We watched a film. →We watched a superhero film — (film name).
• She wore a pair of shoes. → She wore a pair of black leather sneakers.
• She brought snacks. → She brought a bag of almonds and dried mango slices.
2. Use strong action verbs
• He went out. → He rushed out of his office.
• He said something funny. → He whispered something funny.
• She studied for the test.→ She reviewed/memorised vocabulary for the test.
Additional materials
3. Add sensory details (sight/sound/touch/taste/smell)
• The flowers are beautiful. → Golden sunflowers smile brightly under the blue sky.
• The forest was peaceful. → Gentle sunlight came through the leaves, and the wind carried
the smell of pine trees with birds singing far away.
• The square is crowded. → The square is full of people talking loudly. You can smell food
cooking nearby.
Additional materials
4. Show emotions through physical reactions
• He was happy.→ He grinned from ear to ear.
• I was sad when my friend moved away. → My throat tightened as I watched my best
friend’s car disappear down the street.
• I was excited to see my friend again. → I couldn’t stop smiling as I ran to my friend.
Seeing her red backpack made me jump up and down!
Update my to-do list
In groups, share your story and say whose story touches you most.
Discovery——Two poems on friendship
Farewell to Vice-prefect Du setting out for his official post in Shu
by Wang Bo, translated by Witter Bynner
By this wall that surrounds the three Qin districts,
Through a mist that makes five rivers one.
We bid each other a sad farewell,
We two officials going opposite ways.
And yet, while China holds our friendship,
And heaven remains our neighbourhood.
Why should you linger at the fork of the road,
Wiping your eyes like a heart-broken child?
Friendship is like the breeze
by Terri Fanning
Friendship is like the breeze,
You can’t hold it,
Smell it,
Taste it,
Or know when it’s coming,
But you can always know it’s there,
It may come and then go,
But you can know it’ll always be back.

送杜少府之任蜀州
【唐】王勃
城阙辅三秦,风烟望五津。
与君离别意,同是宦游人。
海内存知己,天涯若比邻。
无为在歧路,儿女共沾巾。

《送杜少府之任蜀州》其他英译本。以下是杨宪益、戴乃迭的翻译:
Bidding Deputy Magistrate Du Farewell
by Wang Bo, translated by Yang Xianyi & Gladys Yang
The capital and palace are guarded by the land of three Qin kingdoms,
In the distance the Five Ferries are screened by wind and mist.
Now comes the time for us to bid farewell to each other,
And we will both be officials away from home on duty.
So long as we remain bosom friends in our heart of hearts,
We’ll still feel like neighbours despite the distance apart.
So don’t let us shed silly tears like youngsters,
At that last moment when we both wave goodbye.

友谊如清风
特里·范宁
友谊如清风,
你无法紧握,
无法嗅闻,
无法品尝,
亦难预知其踪,
但你知道它总在——
或来或去,
却深信它终将归来。
Read and think
Do you think these two poems express similar or different views on friendship?
(Answers may vary.)
I think they express similar views on friendship. Both poems show that true friendship is strong and lasting. The first poem says friendship can cross great distances, while the second compares friendship to the breeze—you can’t touch it, but you know it is always there. They both believe that real friendship never ends, even when friends are apart.
