| Oct 7 at 19:47 | comment | added | James Mathai | @famousfrancis If I translate to Chinese I get - 我们怎样才能成为好朋友呢 If I translate it back to English I get - How can we become good friends ? A title like this is neither suitable for a Grade 1 Chinese students nor for other foreign students where this grammar doesn't exist. | |

| Oct 4 at 8:21 | comment | added | Kate Bunting | I can't tell from the picture what Sarah is sharing with Chen Jie, but in the second scene Chen Jie is 'being a good friend' to Sarah by offering to share her umbrella. | |
| Oct 4 at 6:56 | comment | added | famousfrancis | Thanks for your reply. First of all, I don't want my concerns to limit your perspectives. The point I’m concerned about, as I mentioned earlier, is whether this sentence works as a title. I’m not entirely sure if it fits the context of the image. In my opinion, there’s nothing wrong with the grammar of the sentence. Feel free to discuss it in terms of context and usage. | |
| Oct 4 at 6:27 | comment | added | James K | Why are you concerned? Is it the contrast between plural "we" and "a friend"? Are you concerned because one normally says "make friends" (using plural) or is there something else? Just "check this for me" isn't a question about English | |

| Oct 4 at 4:53 | comment | added | famousfrancis | Sorry for the confusion. "How can we be a good friend", the title in the picture | |
| Oct 4 at 2:17 | comment | added | Laurel♦ | What are you asking about, the quote in the title ("make") or the body ("be")? | |
