Ответ на вопрос: 1. Jill’s Story. There was a time when Jill didn’t have many close friends. She was not very outgoing. She never really wanted to be popular, but she did want to have someone to share secrets and laughs with. At high school, though, she just had some “girl” friendships where she didn’t find much comfortable companionship. When time came to go to college, Jill was quite nervous. She was going to live in a town 300 miles away from home with nobody to rely on and hang out with. There wouldn’t be a single person she knew in town. She had no idea how she was going to make friends in this new environment. During the first week of classes, something happened that changed Jill’s life forever. In her English Composition class, she was asked (as were all the students) to tell the class about herself. She told everyone where she came from and all of the other personal details that students share in such situations. The final question for each student was always the same: “What is your goal for this class?” Now, most of the students said it was to get a good mark, to learn something new or things like that, but for some reason, Jill said something absolutely different. She said that her aim was to make just one good friend. While most of the students sat in silence, one student came to Jill and held out his hand and introduced himself. He asked if she would be his friend. The whole room was silent – all eyes focused on Jill and the hand just in front of her. She smiled and stretched her hand out to take his and their friendship began. It was a friendship that lasted all through college. It was a friendship that turned into a marriage. It was a friendship that brought two people together in a happy marriage. Jill learned that being confident, honest and taking action help to deal with problems and overcome difficulties.
