Integrated Skills Practicing

I. Viewing & Listening

Three simple tips:

1. Establish open lines of communication with your roommate. If something is bugging you, don’tbe afraid to let him or her know. Be upfront and assertive, but not rude. And keep in mind thatit’s always easier to deal with problems sooner than later. 2. Berespectful of your roommate’s property and space. Ask permission before

you borrow thingsthat aren’t yours. Don’t forget that only half the room belongs to you. And always lock the door,even if you’ll be back in a minute. 3. Above all else, treat your roommate how you would like to be treated. That’s the golden rule.

III. Writing

Model paper for your reference

Friendship is often compared to a flower. In general, flowers need sunlight and water to grow.If you don’t expose flowers regularly to enough sunlight and water, they will wither and even die.The same applies to friendship. If you take afriendship for granted, not spending time and energynurturing/taking care of it, you may one day find your friendship has ceased to exist. Conflict canbe compared to a blow to a flower. Friendships, especially young friendships, are unable to endureconflicts just as flowers cannot surviverepeated blows. If you have made promises to spend yourtime with your friend, keep your word. Otherwise it will hurt your friend’s feelings. Old friends maybe able to forgive your faults, but you cannot expect new friends to do the same. You must keepin mind that most friendships have a breaking point and take care not to allow any conflict to gobeyond that point. (157 words)
