In writing assignments in English classes my students frequently raise the topic of friendship. Reading what they write, I start to understand Chinese friendship obligations. Chinese can usuall y expect more from their friends than Americans can. For instance, once a student wrote that sh e understood that her friend wanted to go shopping. My student was busy and really had no tim e to do that, but she kept silent, put her work aside and went shopping with her friend. This is quite different from what American young people would say about friendship. In the U.S. you feel free to ask your friend for help, but you recognize that the friend may say no, if they give you a reason. A friend in China is someone who, sensing that you are in need in some way, offers to assist you without waiting to be asked. In China there are few limits on what you can ask or expect of a friend.

Another difference is that Chinese expect friendships to be more lasting. They think a true fri endship is a relationship that endures through changes in the lives of the friends. In the U.S. a person is likely to change even “best friends” several times over the years. Even the relationship in which people feel close emotionally and tell each other their secrets and personal problems may not survive life changes such as a move to another city, graduation from university, a signifi cant change in economic circumstances, or the marriage of one of the friends. I think the reason is that friendship, like so many other relationships in the U.S. including marriage, depends on fr equent interaction with the other person. If the people involved do not see each other and intera ct regularly, the relationship is likely to fade and die.

Everyone needs friends, and if you fail to make friends, you should examine yourself and se e if there is something wrong with your personality.

Maybe you have social faults such as snobbishness, talkativeness, using slang, etc., which dr ive away your new acquaintances. Whatever your social faults may be, look at them honestly, an d make a real effort to correct them.

To be friendly you must feel friendly. Cheerfulness is the basis of friendliness. A cheerful per son smiles. A smile is a magnet which draws people. Smile at someone and you are almost sur e to get a smile in return.

A friendly person does his best to make a stranger feel at home, wherever he happens to b e. Put yourself in the other fellow’s place and make him feel welcome.

Try to remember names. It makes your new acquaintances feel happy when you call them b

y their names. It gives them the feeling that they have made an impression on you and that mu st mean something to them because you remember them.

If you do not agree with other people on a certain matter, you should appear to be friendl y. Do not argue, but discuss. You always lose friends if you argue too much.

No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but estimates sugge st the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.

In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just so mething that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, har d of hearing or have failing eyesight.

Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disablin g diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in acci dents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affect ed by people’s attitude towards them.

Disables people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit fr iends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps. Or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic” But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitabl y represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these ba rriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts.

Michael, a typical American, stays at home on workdays. He plugs into his personal compute r terminal in order to connect with the office. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael d oesn’t talk to any other human beings, and he doesn’t see any people except the ones on televi sion. Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off form contact with our fellow human being.

The world of business is one area in which technology is isolating us. Experts say, for exa mple, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central comp

uter, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they’re dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers’ salaries will b e auto matically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take our money from their accounts.

Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For m any people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting i n their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertai nment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to se e a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing v ideotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own l iving rooms.
