托福独立写作题目：交朋友话题内容表达
如果你是一个备托烤鸭，交朋友这个梗，一定是你分分钟脱口而出的万能理由，如何就此话题继续丰富内容、细化表达呢?
不妨细读一下李开复给女儿的一封信~
Most importantly(更重要的是), make friends and be happy. Collegefriends are often the best in life, because during college you arecloserto them physically(近距离交往)than to yourfamily. Also, going through independence and adulthood(一起独立、成长)is a naturalbonding experience(一个紧密练习的过程). Pick afew friends and become really close to them — pick the ones who are genuine and sincere(真诚诚恳)to you. Don’t worryabout their hobbies, grades, looks, or even personalities. You have developedsome real friendships(交真正的朋友)in highschool in your last two years, sotrust your instinct(相信你的直觉), and make newfriends. You are a genuine and sincere person – anyone would enjoy being yourfriend, so beconfident, outgoing, and pro-active(自信的，外向的，主动的). If youthink you like someone, tell her. You have very little to lose. Give people thebenefit of the doubt; don’t stereotype(对他人有成见)and be forgiving(宽容的). People are not perfect, so as long asthey are genuine and sincere, trust them and be good to them. They will give back(给予回报). This is my secretof success – that I am genuine with people(以诚待人)and trust them(unless they do something to lose my trust). Some people tell me thatoccasionally I would be taken advantage of(被占便宜). They are right, but I can tell youthat that loss is nothing compared to what I gained(得到的远远超过我失去的).
译文：最重要的是在大学里你要交一些朋友，快乐生活。大学的朋友往往是生命中最好的朋友，因为在大学里你和朋友能够近距离交往。另外，在一块儿成长，一起独立，很自然地你们就会紧紧地系在一起，成为密友。你应该挑选一些真诚诚恳的朋友，跟他们亲近，别在乎他们的爱好、成绩、外表甚至性格。你在高中的最后两年已经交到了一些真正的朋友，所以尽可以相信自己的直觉，再交一些新朋友吧。你是一个真诚的人，任何人都会喜欢跟你做朋友的，所以要自信、外向、主动一点，如果你喜欢某人，就告诉她，就算她拒绝了，你也没有损失什么。以最大的善意去对人，不要有成见，要宽容。人无完人，只要他们很真诚，就信任他们，对他们友善。他们将给你相同的回报，这是我成功的秘密——我以诚待人，信任他人(除非他们做了失信于我的事)。有人告诉这样有时我会被占便宜，他们是对的，但是我可以告诉你：以诚待人让我得到的远远超过我失去的。
