Dear Sue,
There is a problem between me and my good friend.We used to study and play together,but ever since last Friday,she hasn't spoken to me.I considered all the things that could be wrong,but I still can't _figure out_ what the problem is.I tried to
call her,but she didn't answer.What should I do?
A Lost Girl
Dear Lost Girl,
Many people have had the same experience as you.Sometimes it's pretty hard to tell what's wrong in a friendship.Try writing to your friend or you can ask another friend for help.If neither of these things works,just leave your friend alone.She may need some time to cool down and think about the situation herself.If you figure out what the problem is,think about it.Did you really hurt your friend?If yes,go _directly___ to her and say sorry.Maybe it was just a big _misunderstanding___.If your friend wants to end the friendship,there's nothing you can do about it.Both of you can move on and find new friends.But even if you're not friends anymore,you should still be friendly.Say hi to her when you pass her at school.Maybe one day she will realize what a good friend you are.
Sue
Language notes
1.We used to study and play together,but ever since last Friday.
ever since+過去時態的狀語，句子用現在完成時態。現在完成時態的構成：
have/has+過去分詞
used to do sth過去常常做某事
拓展：be used to doing習慣于......
2.Many people have had the same experience as you.
the same+n.+as表示“和......一樣”，反義詞組為：different from...“與......不同”。
3.Try writing to your friend or you can ...
write to...給......寫信 其反義短語：hear from
4.If neither of these things works,just leave your friend alone.
neither of后加名詞復數或人稱代詞賓格作主語時，謂語動詞用單數。
eg:Neither of the answers is right.
leave...alone不打攪，讓某人一人呆著，把某人單獨留下。
leave me alone=leave me by myself
5.But even if you're not friends anymore...
even if引導的是一個讓步狀語從句，相當于even though
