Question

一篇阅读理解

When a friend is sad about a tragedy, it’s hard to know how to comfort him/her. But the worst thing you can do is say nothing. It could be a signal that you don’t care. You don’t have to say much. A single supportive the ice. Here are some conversation starters for when difficult situations have your tongue tied.
1. A friend has a miscarriage.

2. A guy deserts your friend.

3. A friend has a death in the family
Don’t say: “ it’s god’s will” or “ I know exactly how you feel.” Do say “ I;m sorry about your loss. What can I do to help?”
4. A friend loses a job suddenly.
Don’t say “ work is always boring. Those employers didn’t suit you!” do say “ I’m sorry for the shock, but I know there’s an even better job waiting out for you. Let’s think about possibilities”.
5. Someone’s pet dies.
