4. What do you think?
4.1 Can a man and a woman be close friends without beinh lovers?

Use the any of the following phrases when you compose your blog entry:
Maybe not. I think once lovers broke up, and it's embarrassing to see each other. Because there must be something unhappy happened to they; otherwise, they will not decide to saperate. Therefore, I think being a stranger instead of being a close friend is much more possible!

4.2 Looking at the issue
1. What is your best friend like? Use three adjectives. For example, tall, kind, talkative.

He/She is humerous, easygoing and considerate.

2. Why is that person your best friend?

She helps me overcome every difficulty and teaches me how to face the music optimistically; in addition, I can share everything with her.

3. Is your best friend a man or a woman?
She is a woman.

4. Losing a friend or lover is sometimes painful to bear. What would you suggest people who have lost a friend or lover to do in order to ease the pain? What do you think they should or should not do?
There must be reasons why you will lose freind or lover, so you should correct all your disadvantages, selfishness, too straightforward or maybe you gave him/her too much pressure. To be a better person is important, and you must have to learn lessons from this painful experience. What's more, you have to give yourself a break, and don't keep blaming on yourself because it's not all your fault! Being optimistic as well as confident. Days in the future are still long.
