As a  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（结果）, friends will understand each other {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（更好的）.

    My best friend Nelly is a quiet girl. She works hard but has many problems in subjects. Last week, she said she {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（尽力）her best to read English but got the worst. She felt  {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（像）almost everyone was laughing at her. She cried alone on the playground. I knew I must do something about it to stand up for her. I found a  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（有创造力的）way to help her. I drew her something special with some words: Believe in {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（你自己）. At  {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（至少）I am always here.

    Small thoughtful gifts, such as picking a flower for a friend who is sick, just might cheer your friends up.
