Ill give you several tips below.To begin with, a real friend is a treasure (财富). You dont throw a friend away because your feelings got hurt or you are unwilling to discuss a misunderstanding. Dont let senseless things destroy your friendship.To me, if its worth the fight, it is worth the sacrifice (牺牲). If you cant sacrifice to keep the friendship, then maybe it isnt true friendship.Be willing to apologize even if the problem isnt your fault. The friendship is larger than who is at fault. If you can heal the friendship with an apology, then do so. Dont wait for your friends to realize how wrong they are, or even to admit their share of guilt. Go to them.Make the first move. Raise the white flag first.However you want to look at it, be willing to do what it may take to heal the relationship. Many friendships stay wounded or destroyed because both waited for the other to make the first move and neither did.Remind each other that the friendship is more important.A simple reminder of how special the friendship is will go a long way to soften a hard heart.Be willing to take the higher ground.I have a policy in my marriage that if there is a disagreement in values,we always take the higher one.If you cant come up to your friends level,you will begin to estrange him.I feel that the friendship is more important than my personal position.The higher ground is always safer anyway.When repairing a friendship you must remember that together you can complete much more than either can separately.A friendship is full of synergy (协同作用)( )4.

While in American English “Sir” and “Madam” are not so formal and are commonly used between strangers, especially with older people whose names you dont know.3. When you talk to some people you know, you can use their names. If you are friends, use their first names; if your relationship is more formal, use “Mr.”, “Mrs.”, “Ms”, etc, before their family names.4.
