Listening textDear Lisa, There is nothing wrong with you and this boy being friends and studying together. Of course a boy and a girl can be good friends. Ending your friendship with this boy would be a stupid thing to do. You would lose a good friend and someone to study with.

Teenagers like to gossip, and they often see something that isn’t real. Perhaps your classmates cannot understand your friendship with this boy. That’s no reason to stop it. My advice is to ignore your classmates. That way you will show them that you are more grown-up than they are. Yours,

They take her to interesting places and to a mountain in the countryside. Some people even invite her to be a guest in their homes. Leslie is asked whether she thinks the Chinese are friendly. “Yes”, she says. “I think. Chinese people are very friendly.”

Part 2 When she gets on the plane to fly home, another Canadian asks her, “So, did you make any friends in China?” Leslie replies. “Yes, I made some good friends. Of course they are business friends. No one can become a close friend when you see them for such a short time. I think some of them really liked me but others may have been trying to be my friend for their own reasons.”
