  On Making Friends

　　        As a human being, one can hardly do without a friend, for life without friends will be a lonely voyage in the vast dark sea or one in the barren desert. Traly, a friend gives out light and warmth like a lamp. For this reason, I have always felt it a blessing if a friend comes to console me in my sadness, cheer me up in my low spirits, or heartedly share with me my happiness. It is wonderful, too, to feel that someone is standing by me and ready to provide help and encouragement in my pursuit of a noble and glorious cause.

　　        For millions of years, people have heaped beautiful verses and essays upon friendship. Yet, they, too, have mercilessly accused false friendship, for there are always some mean characters who approach you and act as dear friends when you are wealthy or influential, but desert or even betray you the instant you come down in the world or are entrapped by unfortunate things. Therefore, people all attach great importance to the recognition of true friendship. And a faithful friend is considered even more precious than a priceless pearl or a precious stone. The old saying "A friend in need is a friend indeed" has become the teaching and standard for true friends.

　　       Still, it is natural that different people observe different principles in making friends. Some view it important to make friends with whom they may share similar interests or hobbies with. Others are liable to befriend VIPs so as to gain some favors or privileges. And I am of those who think very little of similarity or position or power. So long as a person has a heart of gold, being warm-hearted,  selfless,  honest,  open-minded,  but  not  brutal,  cold,  shortsighted  nor narrow~minded, I am willing to make friends with him or her, give my due support and help, and remain faithful to him or her all my life.

　　We all know a story similar to this： Two Men and a Bear. In the forest， when a bear attacked them， the thinner man quickly climbed up to the top of a tree and forgot his promise to the fatter guy， who could not climb the tree， about helping each other when in danger. Luckily， the fatter man saved himself. The fatter mat was very disappointed， and when they got together again， he said to the thinner man， "You are not my real friend. Only a friend in need is a friend indeed". This is a very familiar story. It illustrates to us what a friend should be like. It is， however， just a story.

　　I would like to tell you something about myself， my true feel-ings. When I was in Senior One， I had great difficulty in learning science subjects. I was unable to understand the teacher and 1 could not do the exercises or the homework. I believed that I was stupid and could not learn anything. The sky was gray and the grass was yellow those days. Everything was a mess in my brain. My classmate， a good student， whom I only considered as one of the classmates before， came to me with a smile.

　　She told me that if I needed help， she would like to help me. As she was also very busy with her studies，I asked myself， "Could she help me? "Sev-eral days later， I knew the answer. Yes， she could. She did as much as she could. She made time every day to help me solve the problems and showed me many good ways to study science. Her patience and earnest nature touched me deeply. I worked very hard and my progress was reflected in my examination result. I appreciated her help very much and wanted to thank her. When I looked at her， once again she smiled at me with an encouraging and congratulatory look. At that moment I understood that a true friend should be like this.

　　Nowadays， it seems that there are many ways of expressing friendship. Our lives are generally better. People now have more time to consider and be more concerned about their lives. Money， which is considered by many to be of prime importance， makes it difficult to find true friendship. Is friendship only greeting each other on meeting? Is friendship only drinking and eating together? Is friendship only lending money to each other? No， a friend Should be a person you trust and understand. A friend should be a person who tastes happiness and bitterness with you. A friend should be a person who can give you confidence and encouragement.
