In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study and have fun together. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend?

  Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He tries to learn from others instead of being quick to judge. He puts himself in the other person's places，and thinks of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.

  At the same time, a good friend is honest. He doesn't look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.

  Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favour, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.

  There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is the one who has a sense of humour. We can share experience and learn from each other and he likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.

  When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend.
