Dear Dr. Fang,
I read your magazines every month. I myself is a teenager, almost 16, and have some problem at home and I hope you can help me. The mainly problem is that I can’t get along my father. Whenever I want to do something or suggest a idea, he didn’t listen to me. Then, when I refuse to listen to her, my father shouts at me angrily. He and my mother always make me to do things I don’t like, such as playing the piano and do housework. How should I do?
Yours,
Li Hua

Friendship is a very beautiful bond(联系) in which no one is big or small, no one is rich or poor, and no one is ugly or beautiful. 1. In friendship, there are no terms and conditions. There is no age factor in friendship. Each person has his or her own mind, own views, and own perspective on life. You can learn a lot from every one of your friends.
2. It is best to have one good friend who accepts you as you are, who bridges gaps and never lets you fall. As the ancient Greek poet Euripides put it, “Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.”
Be happy and cheerful about your friends’ success. 3. Never be selfish, and always try to give more and expect less. Give whatever you want from your friends, like honesty, love, support and understanding, and never boast to your friends when you are more successful.
If you are looking for a friend who is faultless, you will be friendless. 4. And for a good friendship, we need patience, because patience is the key to everything. A beautiful friendship is like a childhood friendship, free of jealousy and full of love. Children are unaware of bad feelings, where anger can suddenly arise. This is the quality that makes children pure and special. For a good friendship, one needs true love, and children are full of love. 5.
A.Everybody has flaws.
B.The best mirror is an old friend.
C.Friendship means understanding, bonding and helpfulness.
D.Ask your new friends questions about themselves.
E.That is why they are loved by everyone.
F.One good friend is better than thousands of ordinary friends.
G.Always stand by your friends in every situation.
