Friendship is one of the greatest pleasures that people can enjoy． It is very difficult to find a better definition¹ of friendship． A true friend does indeed find pleasure in our joy and share sorrow in our grief²． In time of trial， he or she is always at our side to give us his or her help and comfort．

    Knowing how valuable friendship is， we should be very careful in our choice of a friend． We must choose someone who has a good character， whose activities are good and who shows kindness of heart． We should avoid those shallow³ people who are easily changed by adversities or misfortune⁴．

    A true friend can always be trusted， loved and respected． If you tell a friend your secrets， he or she won’t tell anyone else． Friends share each other’s joys and sorrows． They help each other when they are in trouble， and cheer each other up when they are sad． The most important thing is that a friend always understands you． In conclusion， when you have made a good friend， don’t forget him or her．

                                           友 谊

    我们一生中不能没有友谊。它是人们最大的快乐之一。很难给友谊找到一个更好的定义。一个真正的朋友会与我们分享快乐与悲伤。 在考验人的时刻， 他或她总会站在我们一边，帮助我们，安慰我们。

    知道了友谊的珍贵，在择友时我们就应非常谨慎。然而，选择朋友并不容易。我们一定要选择那些性格好、行为好、心地好的人。应避免选择那些遇到逆境或不幸就很容易改变的人。

    一个真正的朋友总是让人信任、喜爱和尊敬的。如果你把自己的秘密告诉了朋友，他不会告诉别人。朋友之间会分享快乐和悲伤。当他们遇到困难时，会互相帮助；当他们悲伤时，会互相鼓励。最重要的是，朋友总是能理解你。最后说一句，当你交到好友时，不要轻易忘记他或她。
