True friends cherish(珍爱) the ideals(理想) and feelings with you; they will not desert(荒芜的) you when you are in hot waters; they will not flatter(谄媚) or take advantage of you when you have won victory; and they will advice you sincerely when you are led astray(迷路的).

We should choose those as our friends who have good character, superior(较高的) ability and kindliness(友好) of heart. We’ll treat our friends with courtesy(礼貌), be careful not to interfere(冲突) unreasonably(非理智的) with them, or not ridicule(嘲笑) their proceedings. We should forgive their mistakes and try to help them as much as possible. If we try to do these things, we’ll retain our friends and keep the sacred(神圣的) lamp(灯火) of friendship burning all our life.

ABOUT FRIENDSHIP

During life each of us will meet different people who say that they are our friends, but we will make just a few true friends. What is a friend? Some people say that a friend is one that is close to you, or a good companion to you. In my view, a friend is the one that will stand by you, even through the hardest times. To me friendship is about believing in your friends and helping them no matter what happens.

We all want to have friends. But it is not easy to tell who is a friend and who is not. I believe Wanggang, to be my best friend. We meet in middle school and have stayed together for 7 years. Wanggang and I have gone through many happy and hard times together. Besides, we have shared lots of adventures together, such as traveling to Huangshan and Mount Tai where we experienced so many enjoyable memories.

I suppose Wanggang is my best friend. He is always there for me when I need him. Having a friend is a luckiest thing. A friend is someone who you are not uneasy to cry in front of, who you can be safe to tell the secrets to. Wanggang and I were parted from each other for about half a year while he was away to college and I went back to my hometown to stay with my grandma. Once we met again it was as if we never had set apart.

Good friendships don't come along easily, and we are so thankful to have met each other that we must walk past anything that threatens them and see the better future. No matter what happens, we should always keep our friends in our heart. Don't let them walk away. The relationship we make will keep us going ahead.
