I had some tasks to do. One of them is about drawing graphics for equation. I was really forget how to draw it as it had been so long since the last time I made a graphic. Then I made one but didn't feel what I made was true Then I remembered I have some friends who learn about math major. And I asked three of them. They help me! They said my graphic were right. I'm so happy. Having friends from many backgrounds really help a lot!

I knew this already from my school days. In my class we always swapped our homework. I was good at German, the native language, but not so good at maths. So I gave my German homework to a classmate and copied his maths exercises. This worked well.

@hidvcmbr That's a funny comment. Isn't it natural for pupils to try to cheat? I was a teacher for 40 years. Because of my own experience I found out quite a lot of pupils who tried to cheat. Yet, I didn't feel with them because of my own experience as a pupil. If you're too stupid to do it well, you deserve to be punished.

@MALUSE Instead of asking what score I get, my parent frequently ask about what I've learned in school, that's why I always try my best to do all the tasks by myself or even ask to my friend, in order to answer my parent's question. To be honest, I've ever cheated as well, but I think not that much. It's gonna be more efficient if I do the tasks I'm good at and give it to my classmate, then I copy my classmate's tasks for the subject I'm bad at and ask them to teach me about it. So I can still answer my parent's question.

Of course, especially we have to enlarge our circle of friends so that when we are in trouble there will be many friends who help

And we have to do the same things too. Whenever our friends need help, we have to be ready to help them :)

You are right. Making friends is a good thing but we must not appreciate them only when they help us. We must always appreciate them, whether they are quiet, far or connected and close. I used to have a larger circle of friends but with time, I reviewed my circle to filter out those who weren't really healthy for my growth. I had to put emotions aside and step away from toxic friends. I had to choose my growth, without being selfish. I am glad that your friends were of help to you because they had the knowledge to check your work.

Ah, indeed. I'm totally agree with you! Be kind because you are kind, not because anyone else is kind. Well, we have the right to choose who are we gonna be friends with. We don't have to have such a huge friends. Quality over quantity. I'm glad to know you chose your circle maturely.

This is why I like celebrating diversity. We learn a lot from our different backgrounds, cultures, and upbringing. Imagine how boring and stagnant our lives will be if all of us have the same backgrounds and experiences. Learning is also much enjoyable when you have friends to be with you every step of the way.

Totally agree. There's a lot of benefits we can get from people who have different cultures and different backgrounds from us.

I only have seldom friends in China,and i hardly contact them.Meantime,i never make the friends with the Communists and their relatives.Because i keep my conscience and chase after the freedom,the human rights and the democracy.If i have some communist friends,they will sell me out and ask the Gestapo to arrest me. I once trusted a Communist who said he will publish my poems but asked me to castrate my works.Because there are something sensitive to the rule of CCP.i said i won't publish my works in China but i will let he see my works privately After three days,He sold me out to Gestapo,and gestapo came to my home,they arrested me and forced me to delete my Twitter account.After this thing,i chose to lock myself,i don't dare to trust anyone,especially the Communists

It's okay. There's a statement that said "Quality over quantity". If you wanna have a lot of friends, then, go ahead. You should make some. But If you don't have and don't wanna have that many friends, is okay. :)
