3.What are some of the responsibilities of being a good friend? A good friend must
support and
advise you. A good friend should always be there to listen
to you, especially when you're having some troubles
．
I believe that a good friend should be
thoughtful and kind. A good friend is
someone you can trust and rely on at any time. 4. Do friends or family have more influence on young people today? That's a hard question, because in today's China, parents are still very
influential. Children
listen to their parents, even if they
migh t disagree
．
There is always this notion of respect towards
parents
．
On the other hand, young people spend more and more time with their friends
：
they chat
online all the time, they are able to send text messages to each other anytime they want, and
friendship is
an extremely important value in our society. I would say that young people
probably consider their friends’ advice first, but
ultimately (= eventually
＝
at last) they follow
their parents’ decision.
5. How important is friendship in the workplace? I think that friendship at work is
extremely important (= essential) because
if you get along well with your colleagues and your boss, you will enjoy work better, and
as a result, the job will
get done more
efficiently. I believe that
team work is now
fundamental to any type of
business
．
If you are good friends with your colleagues, you can help, advise and support each
other.
6. Do you think that parents and children can be good friends ？
I think it is possible, but difficult.
