第二節  讀寫任務(共l小題，滿分25分)

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

Friendship with oneself is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

We often focus on building relationships with others that we forget the essential first step: being friends of ourselves. That is the crucial first step if we are to have good relationships with others. How can we have good relationships with others if we don’t even have good relationship with ourselves?

Here are some tips:

1. Forgive yourself

You may have made those mistakes in the past, but is there anything you can do about them? I don’t think so, except learning from them. It’s true that you are not perfect, but neither is everybody else. It’s normal to make mistakes, so do yourself a favor by giving yourself forgiveness.

2. Focus on your strengths

Instead of focusing on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths. You always have some strengths which give you a unique combination nobody else have. Recognize your strengths and build your life around them.

3. Stop comparing yourself with others

You are unique. You can never be like other people, and neither can other people be like you. The way you measure your success is not determined by other people and what they achieve. Instead, it is determined by your own life purpose. You have everything you need to achieve your life purpose, so it’s useless to compare yourself with others.

Answer 1

 [One possible version]

Dear Li Ping,

I’m glad that you trust me so much and tell me your true feeling, now I’ve read an article which says that it is important to be friendly to yourself first and then to others, and gives a few tips, such as forgiving yourself, realizing your virtues and not comparing with others.

As is known to all, no one is perfect，and everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, so if you fall behind others in some aspect, it’s natural and there’s nothing so serious as for you to feel frustrated. I know you’re  worried about your study because you’ve not got as good results as some of your classmates in the exams, but that’s not the most important, so long as you try your best, I’m sure you’ll make progress. Besides, You have your own virtues which some others don’t have, for example, you play basketball better than many other students in our school, and you also play the guitar well. How we envy you!

So never feel discouraged if you fall behind others in your study, and be sure you are good at many aspects.

With the best wishes!

                                                           Yours truly,

                                                             Wang Yan
