Chuck survives the crash and lands on a deserted island．On the island, Chuck has to learn to survive all alone. He has to learn how to collect water, hunt for food, and make fire. Perhaps the most difficult challenge is how to survive without friends. In order to survive, Chuck develops a friendship with an unusual friend — a volleyball he calls Wilson.Chuck learns a lot about himself when he is alone on the island. He realises that he hasn’t been a very good friend because he has always been thinking about himself. During his five years on the island, Chuck learns how to be a good friend to Wilson. Even though Wilson is just a volleyball，he becomes fond of him．He talks to him and treats him as a friend. Chuck learns that we need friends to share happiness and sorrow, and that it is important to have someone to care about. He also learns that he should have cared more about his friends. When he makes friends with Wilson, he understands that friendship is about feelings and that we must give as much as we take.A volleyball is certainly an unusual friend. Most of our friends are human beings, but we also make friends with animals and even things. For example, many of us have pets, and we all have favourite objects such as a lucky pen or a diary. The lesson we can learn from Chuck and all the others who have unusual friends is that friends are teachers. Friendship helps us understand who we are, why we need each other and what we can do for each other.CIntegrating SkillsMany-flavoured Friends“I’ve got friends all over this country, friends in other countries too. I’ve got friends I haven’t met yet, I’ve got friends that will never know.”— Ani Di FrancoFriends come in many flavours．There are best friends，school friends，fair-weather friends，forever friends and many more．Best friends are friends with whom you spend a lot of time and with whom you share all your thoughts and feelings．School friends are different：you see each other in school and you study and have fun together, but you may not know everything about each other．Fair-weather friends are friends who only like you when you are happy or when you are popular．If you are feeling down，or if you are having a problem, fair-weather friends don’t want to spend time or talk with you．Forever friends are friends that will always listen to you and try to help you，even if you disagree or if you are having a problem．BEST FRIENDSSarah and Janet have been friends ever since they started school．They do everything together：study，read，watch TV，surf the Internet，play sports and listen to music．If either one has a problem, the other is there to help．When Sarah was in the third grade, some of the other students were making fun of her because she was shy．Janet told the other students to stop making fun of Sarah，and she helped Sarah overcome her shyness．In the fifth grade，Janet had problems with her maths class．She studied hard，but she just couldn’t understand the homework．Sarah helped Janet with her homework and patiently explained every exercise to Janet．After six months，Janet was doing much better and even got an A on the maths exam．FRIENDS ACROSS BORDERSIs it possible to be best friends even if you are thousands of miles apart?
