Though Robert and his twin sister Amanda get along well, there are some things that (trouble) Robert. He can't understand how girls can talk for so long. For example, sometimes he leaves home to play football, Amanda and her friend Sharon are sitting on the sofa, talking. When he comes back two and half an hour (late), they're still staying in the same place, continuing the same topic. One day Robert was so curious that he asked Amanda what they talked about, but she (reply), "We're best friends. We talk about almost everything！"
Boys and girls have different attitudes towards friendship. Friendships between girls are usually about sharing feelings and support, but friendships between boys are about activities or interests. Compared with girls, a boy might be (careful)about sharing his feelings with his close friends. But a (girl) closest friend might be eager (急切的) to tell her about something that has happened in her life.
Many studies show that girls have more friendships than boys. In fact, many teenage boys don't know who his best friend is. When they (ask), they often think for a while before answering, "My best friend? I can't think about that. I am busy my homework, and I have so many different friends that it is hard to choose just one best friend."
Girls, , can usually answer the question immediately, "A best friend? Of course Lucy is. We have a lot to share with each other. We get much more pleasure from talking, daydreaming."
We have to realize: boys share activities, while girls share feelings. But most important thing to remember is that both of them are friendships. We all need friends in our lives.
