Tom is a 14-year-old boy. He really likes sports. He says sports make him healthy and relaxed. But his best friend is quiet. Sometimes his friend likes sharing his favourite books with Tom. But Tom doesn't like them. He thinks they are boring.

Friends can be different. This is very common. It is important to talk with your friends. But you should be careful about how to talk with them. Here are some tips for you.
First, listen carefully to your friends. Although you may want to explain（解释）yourself, listening to your friends first may keep you calm. You will also better understand your friends.
Next, express(表达) yourself politely. Remember, you are not trying to argue(争论). Winning or losing is not important. Don't try to make your friends think like you.
Lastly, and most importantly, show your friends that you value(珍视) your friendship even if you don't agree about something.
Real friends respect each other.
