Do you want to make friends with others? Please remember to keep your words all the time. In this way, people around you will get along well with you.

To make friends and keep them, you have to keep your words. If you agree to meet someone at a certain time, you should arrive at the place on time or a little earlier. If you agree to help others, you must do it. Of course if there is something unexpected(没有预料到的) happening and you can't do what you have agreed to do, your friends will understand this.

He is always lying or making excuses for breaking his words. Would you like to have him as one of your best friends? You wouldn't. And your own friends feel the same way.

So, be more careful when you have to agree to do something for your friends. Don't have "Maybe"in your mind when you say something about what you are going to do.

Anger(愤怒) is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry.

Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit(打) someone, but sometimes, you hide(隐藏) your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.

In fact, it's not good to hide your anger, and it's normal for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.

When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It's helpful to talk about your anger with an adult, such as parents, a teacher, etc. When you talk about anger, those bad feelings can start to go away. Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug(拥抱); go for a bike ride; think about good things, etc.

Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse. Don't let your anger control you.

Everyone needs friends. But how do you find real friendship and keep it?

The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says founding friendship is just like planting a tree.

First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend could listen to your complaints (抱怨) and do his or her best to help you. You should make each other happy and share your lives.

But things can not always be happy. Even the best friends have fights.  You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have a good talk. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you can write a letter.

There are three steps to be friends again:

Tell him or her how you are feeling. Remember that friendship is one of the most important things in your life.

Mr. and Mrs. Spencer both had very busy jobs and didn't have much time to spend with their young children. They wanted to change this. Both of them were interested in boating, so they decided to sail(航行) around the world with their children.

It took them six years to prepare everything for the trip. First, they bought a new boat. Then, they had to take advanced(高级的) sailing lessons and learn all about the sea and the weather. Mr. Spencer also took several courses in preparing engines and Mrs. Spencer spent an hour in a restaurant to cut up fish.

In October, they had one year off from their jobs and sailed from England with their two children. The next year, in August, their journey ended in Australia.

The boat was not big, but they took a teacher for their children with them. Their trip was not boring because there were three computers, many CDs, a TV and a DVD player on the boat.

The family loved seeing the stars in the sky during the trip. But, most of all, Mr. and Mrs. Spencer enjoyed spending time with their children while they were still young.
