People use the word “friend” in a variety of ways. A friend can mean anything from a casual acquaintance to someone you’ve known your whole life. Whoever they are ,friends are an important part of life at every stage. They provide companionship and emotional support. Of all our relationships, friendships are the most voluntary ,we choose our friends. Making new friends
It’s easy to stay in a circle of friends you’re comfortable with. But as you get older , friendships may be lost-people move away or you just lose track of them. Building friendships is a lifelong,but worthwhile, job. New friendships can bring opportunities to experience new things.
A few pointers for making new friends:

Whether friendships are old or new ,you can’t neglect them if you want them to last. Even thought it’s sometimes hard to spend time together , it’s important to keep in touch . Two other keys are flexibility and respect. Be understanding when plans change. If you find yourselves fighting , try to look at things from the other person’s point of view. Some tips for keeping friends:

Trading Spaces √
How fast can a home remodeling project be completed ? About 48 hours. At least, that’s the basis of the popular reality TV show called Trading Spaces.
Two sets of neighbors switch homes for two days and redecorate a single room in their neighbors’ home . Both “teams” have the help of a designer , a handyman, and a budget of $1,000 . At the end of the second day , the host reveals the rooms to the homeowners,who usually say , “ Wow! That’s great !” Sometimes ,however, they get upset.
Is this reality TV realistic ? Up to a point. The designers actually get videotapes of the rooms and plan out every step beforehand. Even the materials are purchased in advance. “It’s the same at home,”one designer said. “If you don’t want a project to last for months,you need a game plan.”
“Everybody thinks Trading Spaces is totally real,but Trading Spaces is totally not real,”said a women who appeared on the show, “If we didn’t do[something on camera]right,we had to do it again….You become an actor.”
So,how happy are homeowners after their remodeling?Generally,the participants are thrilled.But one couple in Portland,Oregon,hated their new room.Their comfortable but cramped family room was transformed into a dark movie theater.
But you didn’t see that on the show. “You didn’t see me crying,” said Shannon Pitts.They edited it out of the show.
“It really was a non-functional room,”said Scott Pitts. “All you could do was watch TV.”So they found themselves remodeling their own space again.
But even though Shannon and Scott didn’t like the way their family room turned out,they’d still be on the show again.Why?They loved redecorating their neighbors’ place. 交换空间

的真人秀电视节目的看法.
两套房子毗邻的邻居交换住宅两天,并在他们邻居的家中重新装修一个单间.两家都有一个设计师,一个杂工的帮助,并且有1000美元的预算金.在第二天结束时,主持人向房主展示装修后的房间,房主通常会说：“哇,太棒了!”然而有时房主也会很失望. 这种真人电视秀现实吗?某种程度上.实际上设计师们会提前得到房间的录像并规划好每一步.甚至材料也是提前购买好了的.“这同在家里一样,”一个设计师说,“如果你不想一个工程拖几个月,你需要行动策略.”
“所有人认为交换空间是完全真实的,但是它不是,”一个在节目中出现的女人说,“如果我们（被相机录下来的某事）做得不对,我们就不得不重新再做一次……你成为一个表演者.”
因此,房主在他们的房间被改造后有多开心?一般来说,参与者很兴奋.但是波兰的一对夫妇,Oregon,讨厌他们的新房间.他们尽管狭小但舒适的家庭房间被改造成一个黑暗的影院.但是你不会在电视节目中看到（房主的不满）.“你不会看到我哭泣,”Shannon Pitts说.他们将这些从节目中剪辑掉了.
“这真的是个毫无用处的房间,”Scott Pitts 说.“所有你能做的只有看电视.”因此他们发现他们再一次重塑了自己的空间.
但是即使Shannon和Scott不喜欢他们的家庭间被改造的方式,他们依然再次出现在电视节目中.为什么?他们喜欢装修他们邻居的房间.

第8课 阅读 Learning styles
HAVE YOU EVER HAD TROUBLE LEARNING SOMETHING? DID YOU OVERCOME THE PROBLEM? HOW?
Have you ever sat in class wondering if you would ever grasp the information that was being taught? Maybe the presentation didn’t fit your learning style.
你是否曾经坐在教室里,怀疑自己是否掌握了老师教授你的知识?答案也许是老师的讲课方式不适和你.
Our minds and bodies gather information in different ways and from all around us : seeing, hearing, and doing. Then our brains process that information, organizing it and making
connections to things we already know. This process can also work in different ways: Do we think in pictures or words? Do we remember details or the big picture?
When we're trying to learn, it helps to know how our brain works. How do we best gather and organize the information? Different people have different learning styles. For example, one person might struggle with written information but understand it immediately in an illustration. Another person might have problems with the picture, but not the written texts. Psychologists have identified seven basic learning styles:
1-LINGUISTIC: These people learn by using language - listening, reading, speaking and writing.
2-LOGICAL: These people learn by applying formulas and scientific principles. 3-VISUAL: These people learn by seeing what they are learning.
4-MUSICAL: Instead of finding music a distraction, these people learn well when information is presented through music.
5-KINESTHETIC: Movement and physical activities help these people learn.
6-INTRAPERSONAL: These people learn best if they associate new information directly with their own experiences.
7-INTERPERSONAL: These people learn well by working with others.
You will often encounter situations that do not match your strongest learning style. if u know what your strengths are, you can develop strategies to balance your wicknesses, for a more successful learning experience.
A
1. Grasp understand
2. The big picture a general view of a situation 3. Gather pick up or collect
