We're Not Friends　　
My good friend Ben went to a new school two years ago. We live near each other and play on the same football team, so we are still friends. However, he started playing baseball last June and lost interest in football. I also made new friends at school. They all like football — unlike Ben. He seems to be playing baseball and doing homework all the time. We don't see so much of each other now. We still like each other, but can we be friends like before?

Everyone goes through changes as they get older. It's good to hear that you and Ben are still spending some time together. Just accept (接受) each other as you are.

It is not right to think we'll keep the same friends in our lives. Don't stop seeing Ben, but you needn't ask yourself to do anything special to keep your friendship when your interests are not the same.
