VIP Class Notes (JJ)

Which do you think is better? To have many friends or a few close friends?

I think it’s better to choose close friends because when you meet a problem or things, I want to have some suggestions and help, I will call my close friends. They will help me. If I choose many friends, I don’t think they will help me. Everyday, every person is very busy, they don’t have enough time to take care of you and I think a lot of things, we needn’t to tell anybody. Also, they don’t want to listen the problems. For example, one day I was unhappy with my father, we faught and then I left home. I stood at street, I don’t know I can call who, I opened my phone and looked at the contact list, finally I choosed close friend Xiao Ming, I called her to here and talked. She talked with me to help me solve the problem, she wanted me to go home with her. When we arrived at her home, we saw TV dramas, it makes me relax my mood. The next day, she drove the car and took me to my home.

REVISED:

(…) when you are faced with problems or challenges, I want to get some suggestions and help, that’s when I will call my close friends. People are usually very  busy, they don’t have time to take care of you, also they don’t want to listen to your problems. For example, the other day, I was unhappy with my father, we faught and then I left home. I stood on the street all by myself. I don’t know who I can call so I opened my phone and searched the contact list. Finally, I chose my close friend Xiao Ming. I called her and told her the story. She talked with me and helped me solve the problem. (…), we watched TV, it helped me relax. The next day, she drove me home.

Review and repeat the revised response.
