First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient.

When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter. There are three steps to being friends again：
Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that; remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.Sally wants to tell students the ways to ．
