Some people prefer to make friends with people who share similar ages, while other people prefer to make friends with people from different age groups. Which one do you agree? Why？(2018年9月2日)

Opinion: I prefer the first option.

Outline:

R1: You will feel free to discuss and share anything with friends at the same age.

年龄相仿的小伙伴是更能理解你的。

R2: If you make friends with people at similar ages, life feels easy.

跟同年龄的小伙伴玩耍很轻松。

Opinion: I prefer the second option.

Outline:

R1: Having friends of varying age groups helps me gain an understanding that there’s a world outside of my four walls of comfort. Opening the windows and doors of my own mind, I can learn from people around who have a different view or perspective of my world.

跟不同年龄的人交朋友，可以跳出自己的思维框架，了解更多不同的想法。

R2: I can improve communication skills with friends who aren’t the same age as me. For example, I’ll learn how to listen to my friend 20 years senior dealing with layoff.

跟不同年龄的人交朋友，能够锻炼自己的交流沟通能力。

Do you agree or disagree that we should only engage in activities that we are good at? (2018年2月4日)

Opinion: I disagree.

Outline：

R1:

We can fail when we begin with the new things, but that doesn’t mean we have to give up.

每个人接触到新新事物的时候都会不那么得心应手，但这不意味着我们就要放弃了。比如，一开始学跳舞的时候，总是跟不上节奏，但经过多次练习，身体越来越灵活。

R2：Trying things that you aren't good at helps to come out from the comfort zone.

做自己不擅长的事情，会让自己成长很多。
