| Students are leaving the junior high school. What are they taking with them? A lot of things for sure, but the most important thing is friends. We asked some teachers to give us one last lesson. The lesson is proverbs (谚语、格言) about friends. Proverbs teach people about life. Older people often teach proverbs to younger people. Every culture has proverbs. They are short and easy to remember. Mrs Minelli says, "It is important to remember this Sicilian proverb, 'Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.' It means that only good friends tell you when you are making a mistake." Mr Schmidt says, "I have a favourite proverb about friends. 'Friendship is a plant we must water.' It is German. It means that we need to take care of friends like we take care of a garden." Mr Tulga says, "My grandfather in Turkey told me, 'Nobody is so rich that he can throw away a friend.' It means that everyone needs friends. Be good to them." The good news is: there is no test for this lesson. The bad news is-we will miss you. Goodbye, friends! Don't forget us! |
