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 (耐心的). For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints (抱怨) and try his or her best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have quarrels (争吵). What should you do when you have a quarrel with your friend You have to talk to him or her. 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.
