1 Can it be possible to make friends with some - thing in nature？ Too often， we may think about this question. In the movie Cast Away， Tom Hanks plays a man named Chuck Noland. Chuck is always so busy that he has little time with his friends. He is a suc -cessful manager in a company that sends mail all over the world. One day， Chuck is on a flight across the Pacific Ocean when suddenly his plane crashes. Chuck survives the crash and lands on a deserted island.

2On the island， Chuck has to learn to survive all alone. He has to learn how to collect water， hunt for food， and make fire. Perhaps the most difficult challenge is how to survive without friends. In order to survive， Chuck develops a friendship with an unusual friend—a volleyball he calls Wilson.

3 Chuck learns a lot about himself when he is alone on the island. He realizes that he hasn，t been a very good friend because he has always been thinking about himself. During his several years on the island， Chuck learns how to be a good friend to Wilson. Even though Wilson is just a volleyball， Chuck becomes fond of him. He talks to him and treats him as a friend. Chuck learns that we need friends to share happiness and sorrow， and that it is important to have someone to care about. He also learns that he should have cared more about his friends. When he makes friends with Wilson， he understands that friend- ship is about feelings and that we must give as much as we take.

4A volleyball is certainly an unusual friend. Most of our friends are human beings， but we also make friends with animals and even things. For example， many of us have pets， and we all have favorite objects， such as a lucky pen or a diary. The lesson we can learn from Chuck and all the others who have unusual friends is that friends are teachers. Friend- ship helps us understand who we are， why we need each other and what we can do for each other.
