Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they will go to their friends for some ideas.
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking to them on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss special things. These things are difficult to say to their family members.

Jake thought today was going to be very bad. To start with, it was raining, and the rainy days made him sad. 今天是他的生日。 But when he got up in the morning, no one was home, and his mother and his father didn’t leave him any gifts.
He walked to school with his best friend, Mike. Mike didn’t say anything to him, either.
这使他不高兴。 Jake said “Happy birthday” to him last week, but he didn’t remember his birthday! In class, the teacher asked him for his homework, but as he was so sad when he left home, he forgot to bring it with him. This made him annoyed(烦恼的) with himself.
But things became better in the afternoon. Mike invited him for supper. Jake was so happy to hear Mike say “Happy birthday” to him on the way to the restaurant.
He was very glad to see his parents and all his friends were there. Jake had a wonderful surprised birthday supper. That made him very happy.

Boys and girls, welcome to our radio club! Our club is very important in our school now. It was started by Tom ten years ago. When he found it was too quiet during the lunch time, Tom advised the headmaster(校长) to set up a radio club, and he agreed. What great advice! Thanks to Tom, we have had many different programmes to listen to at lunch time from then on. There is Music Time for us to hear popular music. And you can hear your favourite songs if you tell us ahead of time. We can give advice on problems, too. For example, how we prepare for exams and how we make friends. And we can also send your best wishes to your friends or teachers on special days. Do you have a good voice? Can you come here to work on time? If the two answers are “Yes”, join us now, please!
