I remember when I was growing up, my mom always said, “Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others.” It’s so true. Friends allow us to enjoy the taste of our success and our joys and comfort us in our challenging moments. They provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. I have always looked at friends as the family members. They enrich our lives. As Robert Louis Steven once said, “A ①________ is a present which you give yourself.”

To be a good friend, ②成为一个年的听众是很重要的。Hear what your friend says first rather than making conclusions (结论) quickly. Sometimes it is useful to repeat their words back to them, it can help them to realize whether their words were what they wanted to say.

Patience is also important in being a good friend. You know the old golden rule. “Care for others in the way you would like them to care for you.” The support of a friend during a difficult time could make a difference between success and failure. ③ Encouragement is the best gift that can change a person’s life.

We should choose our friends carefully, because they can have a huge influence in our life. As someone told me “Your friends are like the button (按钮) on a lift. ④ Sometimes they will take you up, sometimes they will take you down.”
