Most people know that friendship is one of the most important things in life, whatever is your status, married or single.We human beings are social animals.Ever since we were young children, we began to stay in contact with others and started to make friends.In all our lives, we cannot live without friendship, just as we cannot live without air and water.
When it comes to the iue that what is the standars for a good friend, some may suggest someone who is serious or intelligent, while others consider good-looking is the most important quality.If there are only three preferences- which I choose from the list in the text book to make a conclusion- I have to say that in my opinion, a friend must be warm-hearted,reliable and have a good sense of humor.
To be a good friend, one has to be warm-hearted and learn to share things with friends.As a famous saying goes, \"A friend in need is a friend indeed.\" One should be ready to offer help and do whatever he could to alleviate pains and miseries of his friend.On the other hand, a good friend should also be able to share happy moments with one another without feeling jealous.
Moreover,a friend with a good sense of humor can entertain and understands how to ease my sorrows by making me laugh in difficult times.As we all know,good humor and laughter benefit us in many ways.Laughter makes us relax and helps us relieve stre.Also, I’d love to spend more time with someone who can make me laugh and is fun to be around.
At last,only the reliable friend,by virtue of his dependability and loyalty,is guaranteed to stand by me in difficult times,and thus reliability is the most important characteristic I look for in a friend.I have a friend named hel.I am able to rely on each other.We overcame our common frustrations and fears by encouraging each other.
Friendship gives us a feeling of security and warmth.It encourages us to go through hardships and move ahead.So I think it is right that people value true friendship more than any material comforts.
