They s   {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  DIY experience with their friends. More and more people show an i {#blank#}4{#/blank#}    in DIY.

    A friend who is unlike me may be challenging, but a similar friend is familiar and safe.

    It was the early autumn of my {#blank#}1{#/blank#} year at a new school. At first no one knew me. I felt {#blank#}2{#/blank#} and was afraid to make friends with anyone. I couldn't talk to anyone about my problem. Then one day, a girl looked at me and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} when I sat in {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. I felt the touch of something bright and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. It made me {#blank#}6{#/blank#} happy, lively and warm. Day by day, I learnt to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} people and the girl has {#blank#}8{#/blank#} my best friend. Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. Smile at the world and it will smile back.
