Everyone needs friends. But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
The American writer Sally tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says making friends is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed (种子) and take care of it to make it grow.
First, you should choose a friend. What is a good friend? A good friend is not a person who has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and helpful. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend could listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help you.
But things can not always be happy. Even the best friends may quarrel (吵架). 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 a good talk with him or her and tell him or her how you are feeling. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you can write a letter to say sorry. Tell your friend why you did this or that. Finally, remember that friendship is one of the most important things in our life.
