Dear Sue,
There is a problem between me and my good friend.We used to study and play together,but ever since last Friday,she hasn't spoken to me.I considered all the things that could be wrong,but I still can't _figure out_ what the problem is.I tried to
call her,but she didn't answer.What should I do?
A Lost Girl
Dear Lost Girl,
Many people have had the same experience as you.Sometimes it's pretty hard to tell what's wrong in a friendship.Try writing to your friend or you can ask another friend for help.If neither of these things works,just leave your friend alone.She may need some time to cool down and think about the situation herself.If you figure out what the problem is,think about it.Did you really hurt your friend?If yes,go _directly___ to her and say sorry.Maybe it was just a big _misunderstanding___.If your friend wants to end the friendship,there's nothing you can do about it.Both of you can move on and find new friends.But even if you're not friends anymore,you should still be friendly.Say hi to her when you pass her at school.Maybe one day she will realize what a good friend you are.
Sue

1.We used to study and play together,but ever since last Friday.
ever since+过去时态的状语，句子用现在完成时态。现在完成时态的构成：
have/has+过去分词

拓展：be used to doing习惯于......
2.Many people have had the same experience as you.
the same+n.+as表示“和......一样”，反义词组为：different from...“与......不同”。
3.Try writing to your friend or you can ...
write to...给......写信 其反义短语：hear from
4.If neither of these things works,just leave your friend alone.
neither of后加名词复数或人称代词宾格作主语时，谓语动词用单数。
eg:Neither of the answers is right.
leave...alone不打搅，让某人一人呆着，把某人单独留下。
leave me alone=leave me by myself
5.But even if you're not friends anymore...
even if引导的是一个让步状语从句，相当于even though
