Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to , laugh, and to do things with. Certainly, we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we will feel if we never have friends.
No two people are just the same. Friends sometimes don’t get on well with each other(相处融洽). It doesn’t mean that they no longer each other. Most of the time they will become friends again.
Sometimes when friends away, we will feel very sad. We miss them very much, but we can them and write to them. And we can make friends. It is to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
There is more good news for people who have friends. They live than people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay healthy. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares about you. If so, you will take better care yourself.
