描述一位印象深刻的老师、朋友或邻居，应侧重人物的与众不同的性格，或他/她与你的不寻常的结识过程或经历。一次意外的邂逅或先冲突后友好的故事，往往会让你的这个描述显得独特一些。之后与描述家庭成员类似，可以说是人物的外貌，接着用具体事例描述人物的性格，最后讲解这个人给你的帮助或影响。参考提纲如下：

● Who is the teacher/friend/neighbor? ● How did you know each other? ● What does he/she look like? ● What is his/her special character? ● What did you do together? ● Why help does he/she give to you? ● How do you enjoy the person? ● Are you still in touch with each other?

4）Friendship is a wonderful thing and is vitally important for personal growth and success.

5） A good friendship is one where you accept and forgive faults, understand moods, and don’t feel hurt if a friend doesn’t feel like seeing you.

4．选择朋友（How to Choose Friends）
