In London, some schools stop kids from having a best friend. They teach kids to play together in groups. The Sun says that some schools in England have best-friend bans. Teachers say that it's not good for kids to have only one best friend. If the best friend isn't with him or her, he or she may feel sad. Best-friend bans aren't just in England. They are also in other countries.
But many people don't think it's a good idea to have the ban. They say it's better to learn that good things don't always last at a young age. Atherton is a teacher from Canada. She says friends are very important to children. Having a best friend helps a child to be happy. "Children should have more friends. Then they can enjoy playing with many other friends, not only one," Atherton says. She also says that a best friend can know all your secrets. That is to say, you can tell your best friend everything.
I have many good friends. Lily is of them. We have been friends since (自从) we two were very . She is a pretty girl. When people her, they always pat (轻轻地拍) her little head and say, "Oh, how !" Lily is also . I remember one evening two weeks ago. Mum sent me to some salt and sugar downstairs. When I was back on the darksome stairway (阴暗的楼梯), I suddenly a black shadow (影子) behind me. Was that a ? I was so frightened that I cried. At that time, Lily came. She rushed at the shadow and shouted to it loudly till it disappeared (消失). Then we ran safely…
Maybe you have already got it. Yes, Lily is my dog—my best friend. I love her.
