During finals, I always felt overwhelmingly stressed. I sat in my room and assuming the worst. At these times, my friends reached out and offered support, taking me to the library to study. We often gathered at McDonald‘s, eating and watching. Their encouragement and sharing not only lightened my burden but also made me feel not alone on this journey; I had them with me.

One of the experience that makes me feel warm and impressed was I got lower grades in all my subjects. In addition, I had so many homeworks to do and I feel extremely overwhelmed and stressful.When they see I am so anxious, they are not only give comfort to me , but also give me some encouragements that makes me feel better. I am so appreciate have my besties. And they said that they support me forever and try to do my best. My besties said that” If u are lost , never afraid because you have try your best already. You did a great job!”That makes me feel more warm and makes me feel more confident to improve myself!

I often find myself stuck on a tricky math problem. Thankfully, my friend has a special talent, she can always read my facial expressions and know instantly whether I understand the question or not. The moment she sees my confusion, she will come over and sit quietly next to me. Instead of simply giving me the answer, she patiently guides me through the steps with gentle hints and encouragement. When I finally get the solution, she will always clap for me. That wonderful moment, filled with her genuine joy, always makes me feel so deeply supported and truly confident.

I remember a time in school when I had a big presentation. I was so nervous. My hands were shaking, and I felt like everyone would see how scared I was. But then, I looked at my friends in the audience. They were all looking right at me. One of them gave me a big, encouraging smile. Another gave me a small thumbs-up. In that moment, I didn't feel alone anymore. I felt their support like a warm, invisible hug. It was a simple thing, but it gave me the strength to take a deep breath and begin. That’s when I truly felt the warmth of friendship.

I often feel sad because school can be stressful with too many dictations. But my friends always make me happy, they buy me yummy food for example bubble tea, make handmade cute toys for me, and talk about fun thing with me .This makes me feel warm and loved.

For me, making new friends is easy because I love socializing, make new friends can makes me feel not lonely, and I also enjoy learning different things from them. The last time I made new friends was at an HKYAS activity. I will finding more topics they enjoy to break the ice -for example, asking, "What songs do you like?"

Personally, I think that making friends are very challenging and difficult because you need to talk with others people actively.Actually sometimes,I am an extrovert or introvert person so when I was introvert, I was difficult to meet new friends.

Then,I remember that I made new friends from different schools when I joined the marketing activities. Therefore I was glad that I can meet new friends.

Moreover, I would talk with them actively.I would talk them with different topics because I think that talk more things with. new friends. That can boost their self confident.

Jodie 8 : ### Paragraph 1: Experience of Warmth and Support from FriendsDuring finals week in college, my friends surprised me with a study group, bringing snacks and support. Their warmth turned a stressful time into a cherished memory filled with laughter.### Paragraph 2: Challenges of Making New FriendsMaking new friends can be tough. Recently, I complimented someone's shirt at an event, sparking a great conversation.

There was this one time where I struggled with school and barely passed my classes.My friends noticed and comforted me and gave me ways on how to improve.Some of them even started tutoring me and teaching me concepts which I found hard.I don’t find it hard to make friends as Im a person who talks to anyone.Whenever I meet new people,I tend to start the conversation and as long as the other person talks back,it’s easy to break ice between us.

Once I got bad grades in math ,which was my best subject,so I was at my lowest. My friend found out and comforted me which really warmed me up and gave me a lot of support. I don’t have difficulties making new friends, I am an extroverted person so I don’t struggle with socializing and I love making new friends. I make new friends whenever I meet new people. I usually break the ice by simply chatting with them ,after a small talk they would more likely to talk to you.

Last year I had failed my exam , my friends have to study with me and buy some books for me when they know I was upset. Their care let me feel warm, knowing I was never alone.

I think make a new friends is

challenging because I feel nervous when I am starting conversations with strangers. I remember last time I just forget to bring my iPad ,I ask my classmates to share her iPad .
