22.Choosing Friends
A man who is careful in choosing friends will certainly derive benefit from them.Why? Because there are more false friends than real ones in this world.To have one real friends is better than a hundred false ones.Friends who flatter you to your face are not true friends.

30.My Favorite Pastime
It goes without saying that work without rest will do harm to health.In other words, we had better take sufficient recreation to relax after work.There is no doubt that there are a number of amusements, such as playing ball games, collecting stamps, fishing, gardening, skating and so on.As for (to) me, I take great delight in gardening.Whenever I am at leisure, I am accustomed to growing flowers.I regard them as my most agreeable companion.
