When I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble –a word game-against herself, I knew I had to do something. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against. I wasn’t sure my mother was ready for it. After all , it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker . Even so ,we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents’ home . And so began my mother’s adventure in the world of computers.
It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me . I’ve taught people of all ages . but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything. she has been the one teaching me all my life: to cook and sew: to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back.
It wasn't easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce, Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook, After a few months of scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing (文字处理) This proved to be a bigger challenge (挑战)to her , so I gave her some homework, I asked her to write me a letter ,using different letter types, colors and spaces.
“Are you this demanding with your kindergarten pupils?” she asked.
“No, of course not,” I said.” they already know how to use a computer.”
My mother isn’t the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally got over his phone allergy(过敏反映)For as long as I can remember, any time I called, my mother would answer. Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two month than we’ve had in the past 20 years.

When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars.
A true friendship carries-a-long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open . second, apologize when you’re wrong – even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view (观点). And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle(生活方式)change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships . My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift , and worth the effort to treasure and nurture (培养).
