True friends are hard to find. Often you thought you could believe in someone, blater he or she may let you down (让你失望).
A true friend is someone who will always be there for you. Through good times or btimes, they will stand by your side. They will not l
you alone when things get difficult. They will accept you i
of trying to change you. A friend will b
new and exciting things into your life and make it richer.
True friends will be honest and you can always bin them. If you talk to someone who you believe in, you don’t have to w
about what you may say. We can enjoy this freedom only with friends.
Friendship is a two-way street. To find a true friend and keep the friendship byou, you must do the same thing as well. Be there for your friends when they are in n
and share the good times with them. Offer them the same things they give to you.
You will find that there is nothing more valuable thaving a true friend by your side to share life with, just as someone says, “There is nothing on this earth more to be prized (珍惜) than true friendship”.
