Question

Everyone needs friends in life. Friendship Day is a day for us to say thank you to our friends. It started in the USA and soon it became popular around the world. In 1998 the United Nations (联合国) named Winnie the Pooh as the world's Ambassador (大使) of Friendship. In 2011, it declared (宣布) July 30 as International Friendship Day. However, many countries celebrate it on the first Sunday of August and some other days.

On Friendship Day people spend time with their friends and give gifts to each other. They may buy cards, write special songs or make friendship cakes. When I was 10, I got a special gift for the day. It was a book about China. My love of Chinese culture started with it.

Friends are very important to us. We start making friends almost from the time we can walk. Most people have special childhood (童年) friends, and some of them become their life-long friends. As for me, friends are often like family. In fact, I spent more time with my friends than with my family when I was a student. I also told my friends more secrets (秘密).

With the use of the Internet, people can also send (发送) messages and e-mails to friends who live far from them. And many people make new friends online. The Internet is also helpful to find long-lost friends. That is to say, we can find our old friends through the Internet and start the friendship again.
