Friendship A person can have many friends but only one or two bosom friends. We regard some of our friends as our intimate friends, and others as ordinary friends. Those who are unfaithful to us can’t be called our friends. A good friend is a real friend, and a real friend is a friend for life. A friend is, as it were, a second self. First, a friend is one whom you can count on, trust and talk to. Second, a friend is someone who will listen to you when you talk about your problems or before whom you may think aloud. What is more, a friend is a person who will help you if you are in trouble. Just as the saying goes: A friend in need is a friend indeed. Friendship involves affection and intimacy. Friendship is based on warmth, trust and shared experience. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, the value of which can stand the test of time. True friendship is like health, the value of which is seldom known until it is lost. Life without friends is like life on a desert island, and life without friendship is not worth living. Sharing joy and sorrow is the way to show your deep friendship. If you tell your joy to your friend, your joy will double. And if you pour your sorrow to your friend, your sorrow will be reduced by half. Dealing with cultural differences People from different countries speak different languages, keep different value systems, and have different ways of looking at things. These differences are generally called cultural differences. Cultural differences are subtle and are often unrecognized or overlooked. It is upsetting to find people who behave differently from us. We may, at first, assume that something is wrong with them.. Cultural backgrounds may influence people’s way of thinking. First, cultural background influences what people consider to be good manners or bad manners. Second, it influences what they consider to be polite or rude. Third, it influences what they consider to be on time or late. Failure to recognize cultural differences may cause many problems. On the one hand, those who are uninformed about cultural differences may have difficulty communicating with their business associates from other cultures. On the other hand, inability to recognize cultural differences can make mutual understanding difficult. There are many ways to deal with cultural differences. First, we can avoid unintentionally offending others by learning the basic characteristics of other cultures. For instance, we may ask our foreign friends about their everyday customs or take time to explain certain common customs of our own culture to them. One world In a sense, the world is a very complicated network, in which , people of the world are one big family. The world in which we live gives birth to the human race. For together we exist, and together we try to make the world better for all. Although people in different countries have different traditions, they are essentially the same everywhere. They will go through the same life stages in their life, babyhood, childhood, adolescence, youth, middle age and senior age. All human beings have the basic needs to eat, to have shelter and clothing, and to work. They also need to love others and be loved.They all seem to celebrate certain days such as 1 New Year’s Day, Mother’s Day, Children’s Day, etc. Admittedly there are differences among people from different cultures. With the rapid development of transportation means and the information technology the world is getting smaller and smaller.Contacts between cultures give great access to promote the mutual understanding among peoples of the world. Explaining processes We are often expected to give oral presentations to our classmates and teachers.Our performance in oral presentations will form an important part of the overall assessment of our work. Many students find giving an effective oral presentation difficult and stressful.In giving an oral presentation, we should not only organize information and ideas coherently but also deliver the speech in a clear and vivid way.Using charts, photos and computer graphics can help us to get our message across and to make our presentations clear, interesting and memorable.The use of visual aids such as overheads, slides, and computer images can add interest to teaching and learning. OHP is short for overhead projector. It is a device which projects enlarged images from transparencies onto a screen or a white wall. Using an overhead projector enables the audience to see the charts, diagrams and photos clearly. In our daily life, we are often required to explain to others how to perform a certain task.My major difficulty is that I can’t find the right verbs to describe certain actions. I have to use nonverbal means such as gestures and pictures besides language to make myself understood. Memory Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use or the process by which people store and retrieve information. There are 2 kinds of memory, Short-term memory and long-term memory. A short-term memory is temporary, as it is stored for a very short time in the brain.Long-term memory refers to the storing of information for a longer period of time. Some people get photographic memory but others have a memory like a sieve .People may hold the opinion that a good memory is something you were born with. But I think it in a different way. Whether you can remember things well or not depends on the way you try to remember them and how often you recall them. Don't try to memorize all the facts, but focus your attention on what you consider more important.Memory is like a muscle , which is built up by frequent use. That is to say, the more it is used, the better it gets; The more it is neglected, the worse it gets. There are many things you can do to help you recall past events, such as keeping a diary, buying postcards, taking photos and making video films. Wealth Modern life is built around money. Money, whatever form it takes, is essential for buying goods and services. The rich are supposed to be able to satisfy their personal wishes without difficulty. For the rich, good education, travel, luxury and security are all readily available, while the poor attain these with great difficulty, if at all. 2 Money in itself is neutral. Money can buy certain comforts and offer some security, but it is not the answer for everything. Money is man's greatest source of joy as well as his greatest source of anxiety.Money is a terrible master but an excellent servant. Money and wealth trap people into various obligations. Money does not guarantee happiness. Money brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health. Those who have some means think that the most important thing in life is love. The poor know that it is money. Riches are not an end of life, but an instrument of life. Happiness is not attained by accumulating / amassing wealth. We will be disappointed if we count on wealth or physical comforts alone for happiness. Because Happiness does not depend on the amount of money you have. A happy man is one who is content, whether he is rich or poor. The greatest wealth is contentment with a little. Aging Aging is the natural process of growing old or a decline in all areas of a person’s mental and physical abilities. People over 65 years old are generally considered senior citizens. Some old people are rather conservative and they are slow to accept new things. They think they are always right and yearn to be recognized, admired and praised by the young. Many elderly people have difficulty remembering recent events but may retain vivid memories of what happened to them a long time ago . The old have a long past and a short future before them while the young have a short past and a long future before them. However ,old people are an asset of society as they are more experienced and responsible. We should treat old people with respect and kindness. It makes sense for us to keep them up-to-date and take good care of them, especially when they are sick. Aging comes to everyone after they reach a certain age. However, an elderly person may remain young at heart.The elderly should enjoy their remaining years in happiness. 3 本文来源：https://www.dywdw.cn/ad4140fdaef8941ea76e054e.html
