Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. We can share 1.s       with our friends and turn to them for help when we are in trouble. In a word, it is nice to have a friend to 2.t      , laugh and do things with. Certainly, sometimes we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel 3.l       if we never had a friend.

To make 4.f      , you must be friendly. A cheerful person smiles. A smile always makes the others like you. Smile at someone and you are sure to get a smile5.b       from him.

Try to remember names. It6.m       your new friends feel happy when you call them by their names, 7.b       you don’t forget them.

No two people are just the same. If you don’t agree with other people, you should still be friendly. Do not argue, but 8.d      . You always lose friends if you argue too much. And you should think more of others than 9.o       yourself. It’s good for teenagers to have one or a group of good friends. This is very 10.i       in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss things which are too difficult to say to their family members.

There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live 11.l       than people who don’t have. Why? It could be that they12.a       happier. Being happy helps you stay well and it could be good just knowing that someone cares about you.

In a few years, most people will know that a healthy, happy, loving family is a joy and it is a necessary part for building a strong society. But there are still some people who don’t believe family life can be an enjoyable experience.
Some people already accepted the idea of the “me generation” so they fail to understand that there is a time in life when they have to give up their time to something more valuable.
At a time when adults need to think about the needs of their family, they will be doing other important things. Some people will spend too much time working for a more powerful car or a bigger house so that they can proudly say that they have them. Some will be doing dangerous things so that they may tell their stories to their friends, and others will recite things like “ I must become the best I can be.”  or “I don’t want to be at the bottom.” The needs of their family will be forgotten and they never seem to have time for the family.
Many people have not experienced a strong helpful perfect family life, so they have never discovered its worth. Many people have always experienced family life as a flight, so they can’t find time and energy for work.
But it is really very important that we all expect good family relations. We need to realize and value the importance of what can be achieved by loving each other in the family. It is also important for our society to encourage family members to create happiness.
