4.Speaking
Sample
A: I think good friends should be honest. A good friend is like a mirror and lets you know what is happening. For instance, when I was upset that I got a low mark in Maths, my best friend reminded me that I had spent too much time playing games on my phone instead of studying. At first I was angry, but then I realized she wanted me to be serious about my studies.
B:I agree. They should be trustworthy too. Take my experience as an example. At junior high I failed an English exam and was very embarrassed. My best friend tried to help me but I said no at first because l thought she'd tell everyone my secret--she didn't. We're still god friends because we trust each other very much.
4.Speaking
Sample
A: Great! That's what trustworthy friends do. My best friend knows all my secrets too and I can talk to her about anything. Being humorous is just as important. Once, I read an article about two best friends who met almost sixty years ago! Their secret is that they always try to make each other laugh.
B: That's a good example of how humour can maintain a friendship.
A: You're right! All these qualities make long-lasting relationships.

Dear Diary,
Friendship is very important to me. In my opinion, there are certain qualities that are very important in a friend.
First, a good friend should be humorous. Nothing makes spending time together more fun than a friend who makes you laugh. My best friend is a funny girl. Ifeel happy when I listen to her talking. We laugh at the funny scenes in the films, we
laugh at each other’s silly mistakes, and we laugh at ourselves as well. No true friendship can grow unless the people involved are able to laugh together.
5.Writing
Second, a close friend should also be trustworthy. A true friend has to be someone you can trust with your secrets. Whenever I feel low, my best friend has a way to break through my tears. She was the one I turned to when I got a low mark in Maths, when I lost the game in the school sports meeting, and when I had a big argument with my parents.
Finally, a true friend should be honest. A good friend must be able to tell you the truth not only when you are right, but also when you are wrong. Without this, the friendship will only ever exist on the surface and never develop a deeper meaning. In fact, I am glad that my friend can always point out what I have done wrong. I might be upset at first, but when I realize that she is like a mirror which honestly reflects my mistakes, I have to admit that this friendship makes me a better person.
Generally speaking, a true friend will have all three of these qualities. A friendship where both parties have all of these qualities will surely be a long-lasting relationship. It will enrich the lives of both friends.
