Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. Your friends will listen to you when you speak, will take care of you when you are sick, and will be together with you in your journey through life. Everyone needs friends. Friendship can make us happier, how can we find a good friend and get on well with each other? Here is some advice.

★Make friends with a person who is easy to get along with.

★You should make friends with a person who has something in common with you.

★Give your friend a hand when he or she is in trouble. Friends should always be ready to help each other.

★Believe in each other. This is the most important thing in a friendship,

★Even the best friends may have quarrel sometimes. And you may say something to hurt (伤害) each other. If this happens, don’t let your quarrel last too long. Try to make up with (和好) your friends soon.

Friendship is a kind of treasure in our life. It is like a bottle of wine. The longer it is kept, the better it will be.

Should friends be different or the same? We asked three people about their ideas. Here are their answers.

Being outgoing is good for your life. Those who are more outgoing like to meet lots of people and have more fun in life. In fact, being outgoing is not so hard as you think. Even shy people can be outgoing. You can start becoming outgoing with your best friends or a group of friends, but the real challenge(挑战) comes when you meet strange people or new friends.

Smile more, and usually they will return your smile. In this way, you may have some talks. Start a talk, just a simple “Hello” or “How is it going” is a good start. If you want to make interesting talks, you should read news in newspapers and prepare(准备) your views(见解), or surf the Internet for new information and then keep that in mind. The easiest way to become more outgoing is to go out. This is also the most important step. Go to a park, beach, club, party or any other place that you think can be fun, and you may make new friends there.

Jaime, a new immigrant（移民）of the USA, was going to watch his daughter’s first show in a school play. His daughter, Carol, was five years old. She was a student at the local public school. Carol did not have a very big role in the school play. She was just playing a rain cloud. Carol had just one line. Her line was, “I am sad enough to cry about how dry the state is,”

Jaime and his wife made sure to arrive early so that they could get a good seat to watch the show. They found seats in the front row. Before the show began, the schoolmaster made a speech about how hard the students and teachers worked together to make the play possible. At the end of the speech, the schoolmaster said, “let’s give them a hand.”

Jaime, whose English was not very good, stood up when the schoolmaster said this. He knew that when people said “to give someone a hand”, they meant they needed help. Jaime always wanted to help, especially at his daughter’s school. Jaime thought maybe they needed help backstage. Jaime’s wife put her arm in front of her husband. “Where are you going?” she asked in a low voice. “They need a hand,” Jaime replied. His wife explained that “give someone a hand” could also mean to applaud（鼓掌）someone. When you applaud someone, you clap your hands after their performance. You are not supposed to stand up and try to help others. “They don’t need help. They just want us to clap,” Jaime’s wife explained. Jaime felt a little embarrassed（尴尬的）.He sat back down and began clapping along with the rest of the audience.

Jaime thought to himself that someone needed to give the English language a hand. How could one phrase mean two different things? He meant the English language needed help.

Zhao Jing is now a famous calligrapher（书法家）in Anhui. His works are getting more and more popular. Zhao Jing was a worker in a factory several years ago. His family lived a happy life until an accident happened to Zhao Jing.

One day, he was badly hurt by a large machine. The operation（手术）lasted for three hours. He woke up to find that he had lost both of his arms. That made him so sad that he even thought of ending his life.

However, his wife’s and parents’ selfless（无私的）love helped him to cheer up again. “I shouldn’t depend（依赖）on my parents or my wife for the rest of my life. I want to learn penmanship（书法）.” Zhao Jing told his family about his resolution.

Zhao Jing went from door to door to collect waste paper. He bit（咬）the writing brush with his teeth and began to write. He keeps on writing for thirty years. The piles of used paper and so many old brushes in the room made his dream come true. He is so good at penmanship that he has won lots of prizes.

“Never Give Up Your Dreams” is Zhao Jing’s motto（座右铭）and he will continue（继续）his steps.
