there?”
“Certainly, everyone back home will 9 me if I leave
China without seeing 10 ． It was great．” I said, “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world． It is a place of 11 ．” Soon I was interrupted again by his words, “ 12 !”
I couldn’t 13 asking,
“Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t ask you to do

I said, “Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say’?”

Too many people want to be their friends,but they don’t give friendship
back.That is why some friendship don’t last long.To have a friend,you must
learn to be one.You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend
to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules:be
honest;be generous;be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts.Friends must be able to trust
one another.If you do not tell the truth,people usually find out.If a friend
finds out that you haven’t been honest,you may lose friend’s trust.Good friends
always count on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow.You do not
have to give your lunch money or your clothes.Naturally you will want to share
your ideas and feeling.These can be very valuable to a friend.They tell your
friend what is important to you.By sharing them,you help your friend know
better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and helping with a
problem.Something may go wrong at school.Talking about the problem can make it
easier to solve.Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem.So
to be a friend you must listen and understand.You must try to put yourself in
your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are ever exactly alike.But all true friendships have
three things in common.If you plan to keep your friends,you must practice
honesty,generosity,and understanding.
