There are many proverbs about friends and friendship, such as "True friendship is like sound health; the value of its seldom known until it is lost", and "A real friend is someone who walks in when the rest of the world walks out". When you read these quotes (lời trích dẫn), stop and think about your friendship. Do you and your friends act in a caring way towards one another, do you respect them and do they respect you, but most of all do you value the relationship and love spending time together? Friendship is more than just hanging out (lang thang) together at lunch and gossiping about other people. True friendship is when two people have mutual respect for one another, and really care about each other’s feelings and dreams. You need to be able to be honest with your friends. If there is ever a time where you feel that you can not tell them the truth, for fear that they will be mad or they will not understand, then they are not true friends. Friends share with each other important things that they would not share with others. Friends also care about each other, stick up (gắn bó) for one another and enjoy spending time together.

The dramatic growth of the world’s population in the twentieth century was on a scale (qui mô) without parallel in human history. Most of this growth had occurred since 1950 and was known as the population “explosion”. Between 1950 and 1980 the world population increased from 2.5 to 4 billion, and by the end of the twentieth century the figure had risen to about 6.6 billion. Growth of this size cannot continue indefinitely. Recent forecasts suggest that the total population will level out at between 10 and 15 billion in the mid twenty-first century. Already there are encouraging signs that the rate of increase in many less developed countries is beginning to slow down.

Dear Grandma and Grandpa, Thank you both for the wonderful wedding present. Both Jill and I have always wanted to go to France and visit many museums. We were so shocked when we first saw the airplane tickets that almost fainted (xỉu)! It was more than we could have hoped to receive airplane tickets to France as a wedding present! Paris is wonderful! The only trouble is trying to decide where to go. I want to go to the museums, but Jill wants to see more of the beautiful traditional churches. In the end, we decided to see the churches in the morning ( when the weather is cool ), and the museums in the afternoon ( because they're air-conditioned ), This allows us to get the most sightseeing done during our two-week stay. There are many coffee shops, too. Jill likes sitting outside and watching people, but I like sitting inside where I can enjoy the smell of the coffee. French coffees are so much more aromatic (thơm) and stronger than the coffe we are used to back home. Thanks again for the lovely trip! We sent you a postcard, but I think we will arrive back home before you get it. It is a picture of the Eiffel Tower.
