Reading & writing
Fast reading
Read the post. Is Rose’s opinion the same as or different from the posts in Section B 1b?
3a
Rose’s opinion:
I don’t really care if my friends are similar to or different from me.
Rose’s opinion is different from the posts in Section B 1b.
Careful reading
Read Rose’s post again and answer more questions.
1. What are Rose’s two friends like? Are they similar or different?
Her friends are very different. Lily is funny and always makes her laugh and feel positive. Lucy is quiet, but she is a good listener.
2. What does “silver lining” refer to in the sentence “She helps me see the silver lining in difficult situations”?
It refers to the positive aspect of a difficult situation.
3. How do you understand the sentence “She helps me see the silver lining in difficult situations”?
It means Lily always helps Rose see the hope and positive side of difficult situations.
Careful reading
4. What does the saying “A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart” mean? Do you agree?
It means that a true friend not only supports you when you need help but also deeply understands and cares about your feelings. I agree with this sentence because I think a true friend should always be there and make you feel loved and supported.
Key points
I don’t really care if my friends are similar to or different from me. I have two amazing friends. Lily is funnier than anyone else I know. When I feel sad or have a problem, she makes me laugh and feel better. She helps me see the silver lining in difficult situations.
My other friend, Lucy, is not as funny as Lily. Lucy is quieter, but she listens better than others. Lucy and I talk about everything. I know she cares about me because she’s always there to listen.
My favourite saying is, “A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.” Both Lily and Lucy are true friends. We are always ready to help each other by lending a hand.

Sample
Some people think that friends should be alike, but I don’t really care if my friends are similar to or different from me. Here I’d like to share something about my best friend Helen with you.
Helen and I are similar in many ways. She is as hard-working as me. And we both enjoy reading novels and playing the flute in our spare time. Although Helen and I have much in common, we still have some differences.
①用“as... as...”说明“我”和 Helen 都很勤奋。
②用 although 引导的让步状语从句承上启下,引出“我”和 Helen 的不同之处。
Helen is more outgoing and thoughtful than anyone else I know. She always makes me laugh and helps me see the silver lining when I’m in trouble. Besides, she is so warm-hearted that she is always ready to help others by lending a hand. That’s why she has more friends.
All in all, I think a friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart. The most important thing for good friends is to care about each other.
③用“That’s why...”承接上文,说明 Helen 有更多朋友的原因。
④用 who 引导的定语从句表达“我”对朋友的看法。
