[00:06.40]ANNE'S BEST FRIEND
[00:10.55]Do you want a friend whom you could tell everything to,
[00:16.40]like your deepest feelings and thoughts?
[00:21.55]Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you,
[00:27.12]or just can't understand what you are going through?
[00:32.16]Anne frank wanted the first kind,so she made her diary her best friend.
[00:40.62]Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War II.
[00:48.67]Hetr family was jewish
[00:53.03]so they had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazis.
[00:59.27]She and her family hid away for two years before they were discovered.
[01:07.00]During that time the only true friend was her diary.
[01:14.08]She said,"I dom't want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do.
[01:23.15]but I want this diary itself to be my friend,and I shall call my friend Kitty."
[01:31.32]Now read how she felt after being in the hiding place for over a year.
[01:39.79]Thursday 15,June,1944
[01:46.55]Dear Kitty,
[01:50.50]I wonder if it's because I haven't been able to be outdoors for so long
[01:57.76]that I've grown so crazy about everything to do with nature.
[02:03.64]I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky,
[02:10.80]the song of the birds,moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound.
[02:19.55]That's changed since I was here.
[02:24.20]...For example,when it was so warm,
[02:29.24]I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven one evening
[02:35.17]in order to have a good look at the moom for once by myself.
[02:40.76]But as the moon gave far too much light,I didn't dare open a window.
[02:49.01]Another time some months ago,
[02:53.77]I happened to be upstairs one evening when the window was open.
[02:59.83]I didn't go downstairs until the window had to be shut.
[03:05.70]The dark,rainy evening,the wind,
[03:10.96]the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power;
[03:17.30]it was the first time in a year and a half that I'd seen the night face to face...
[03:25.35]Yours,Anne.

[12:09.70]READING TASK
[12:17.65]FRIENDSHIP IN HAWAII
[12:22.01]Every culture has its own ways to show friendship.
[12:27.76]On the islands of Hawaii,friendship is part of the "aloha spirit".
[12:34.99]In the language of the Hawaiians who first settled the islands long ago,
[12:41.23]aloha had a very special meaning.That is "to be with happiness".
[12:49.10]Hawaiians believe that once somebody loves the land,
[12:54.97]they are ready to love their people or community
[12:59.94]This is the second most important sign of friendship.
[13:05.40]It is called lokahi in the Hawaiian language,
[13:11.14]which means "oneness with all people".
[13:16.21]To enjoy the land you should not be selfish.
[13:21.18]The land was for everyone who lived on it.
[13:26.32]Today many different peoples call Hawaii their home.
[13:32.80]Indeed,Hawaii is a place where people make one big community
[13:39.57]from many smaller communities.
[13:43.72]Each person gives kokua(help) to other people so that all feel stronger.
[13:52.68]It is believed that the islands can be a paradise when people live in peace.
[13:59.63]People are told that their actions should be as gentle as the wind that
[14:06.68]blows from the sea.
[14:10.76]When problems happpen,people are asked to solve them with understanding.
[14:17.91]So when the people of Hawaii talk about ohana(family),
[14:24.57]they are really talking about all those who live on the islands.
[14:31.24]Living in peace,Hawaiians have developed a third sign of friendship.
[14:38.29]This personal friendship is shown by giving leis to one another.
[14:44.92]The lei is put over a friend's neck.
[14:50.17]Then the friend is given a kiss on the cheek.
[14:55.14]Visitors to the islands are also given leis.
[15:00.99]When they hear aloha,visitors begin to feel at home.
[15:07.65]Aloha also means "goodbye",so visitors will hear it again when they leave.
[15:15.91]It can also mean "our hearts singing to gether".
[15:21.47]Perhaps this is how most visitors will remember their new friendship |
