Results
4-7 points: You are not a good friend.
You either neglect your friend’s
needs or do whatever he/she wants
you to do without thinking whether
the behaviour is right or not. You
should think about what a good
friend needs to do and say to his/her
friend.
8-12 points: You are a good friend but
you sometimes let your friendship
become too important, or you fail to
show enough concern for your
friend’s needs and feelings. Try to
strike a better balance between your
friend’s needs and your own
responsibilities．
13+ points: You are an excellent
friend who recognizes that to be a
good friend you need to balance
your needs and your friend’s
needs. Well done!
To have a good friend, you need to be a good friend.

Great old sayings:
Why do you need friends? Make a list of reasons why friends are important to you.
to cope with stressful situations in life
to share my worries and secrets in my inner world
to show my concern for other people
to let other people share my happiness
to unfold to other people the secrets in my heart
Reasons I need friends:
We need friends because we want to share. We need friends because we need somebody who will be there with us when we fall into bad time. We need friends because we want to enjoy being in a group.
Friends — their value
We hate loneliness and family alone cannot make us feel in a group. For that we need friends. We need friends, because we want to let somebody know about our deepest thoughts, our ideas, and our real emotions. Only a good friend can help us share all these.
Does a friend always have to be a
person? What else can be your
friend? Tell us about your unusual
friends.
Talk
There are many explanations about friendship. However, friendship is a relationship that can’t be restricted
(限制) by definition (定义). It can only
be experienced. True friendship can exist between any two souls. It can happen at any moment, to anyone. Even to lifeless things, like a diary, a ball, a friendship can happen.

Main characters
After the German invasion (侵略) of 1940, Anne was forced to leave her school. Almost right away, the Gestapo (盖世太保) began to send thousands of Dutch resisters (反抗者) to slave labour camps in Germany. Then in February 1941 the Gestapo began to arrest Jews.
It was at this moment that Otto Frank made plans to hide his family. They moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands.
They stayed on the top floor, with curtains drawn so as not to attract unwanted attention.

When Margot, Anne’s older sister died in March, 1945, Anne probably lost her desire to live. She died just before her 16th birthday and less than a month before the surviving Jews were liberated.

安妮在自己生日那天收到了一份礼物——一本日记本，并将其化名为Kitty，以书信的形式记日记。从日记的内容我们可以知道，安妮与朋友相处融合，是一个很普通的女孩子，日记上还记录着她在过着隐秘生活时与彼得得以接近，并喜欢上彼得的过程，以及她对战争的看法，从侧面表现出安妮的成熟与乐观。
安妮日记
终于，不幸的事情发生了，他们被盖世太保们发现，被分散收容了。安妮于1945年3月在纳粹集中营永远地闭上了眼睛。
