Friends are very important in our everyday life. Everyone needs friends. You will feel lonely if you have no friends.

Everyone likes to make friends. If you have friends, you can help each other. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things together. Certainly, sometimes you need to be alone. For example, when you need to have a good rest, you don’t want people to disturb you. You don’t always want people around. But most of the time, you need friends in your lives. Sometimes your friends move away. You can’t see them for a long time. You feel very sad. When you miss them very much, you had better call them or write to them. You can also make new friends. No two people in the world are just the same. Friends sometimes don’t get on well with each other. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make it up and become friends again.

If you have many friends, you will live longer. Studies show people with friends live longer than those without friends. Why? Friends can make you feel happy. Being happy helps you stay well. If someone cares about you, you will take better care of yourself. These show the importance of making friends.
