Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying: Friends are God’s way of taking care of us. But how do you find real friendship and keep it?

“The Care and Keeping of Friends” by American author Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends.

Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.

First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints(抱怨) and do their best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.

But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to them. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.

Sally says there are three steps to being friends again: Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. The book also has advice on some small but important things like celebrating your friends’ success. Even if you haven’t had a real friend before, you will start to think of having one if you read this book. Because the book tells that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

Hunan TV’s new program, Dad, Where Are We Going? has become very popular since last year. The show tells us that fathers should take part in their children’s growing-up. In fact, this topic was always mentioned by Zeng Guofan（1811-1872）, a famous official during the late Daoguang Period of the Qing Dynasty（1644-1912）.

Although Zeng spent most of his time away from his family, his letters back home to his children and younger brothers have become famous. In these letters, there are many helpful suggestions on proper behavior. Many of his ways on child education are popular among today’s Chinese parents, including reading classical books and so on. His child-raising methods are useful for today’s busy fathers. Like Zeng, they also spend most of their time away from home.

According to Zeng, the purpose of education was to learn wisdom from books, rather than getting an official position. Children should know that the most important purpose of studies is to get more knowledge about nature and life.

“But now, parents just want their children to be rich and powerful. ” Mr. Tang, a writer in China, said.

Some teachers say that parents need to build a good relationship with their children. Parents shouldn’t force their children to realize their wishes.

In Zeng’s letters, he asked his young children to do housework as part of their daily life, even though his children had many helpers. He believed that doing housework would make his children more confident and independent（獨立的）.
