Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying “Friends are God's way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a Good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you can not be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives. But things cannot always be happy. Even the best have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you could write a letter.
There are three steps to being friends again:
Tell him or her how you are feeling ; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

Dear Mom and Dad,
I will go to Alice’s home with her after school, and I will have supper and sleep there. Don’t 1 about me. You know that Alice is one of my best friends. If you want to talk with me, you can call 68610598 after 6:00 pm.
Please forgive me for not telling you first. I don’t think you will 2 me to do so if I tell you first. 3 I think teenagers should be allowed to stay at their friends’ houses sometimes. I am sixteen years old and I’m not a little kid any more. I hope I can make decisions for 4 .
At home, there are too many 5 for me to obey(遵守): Don’t stay out so late; don’t have meals before 6 hands; don’t watch TV without finishing homework, etc. Parents should be 7 teenagers, but we need freedom, too.
I don’t like doing my homework 8 at home. I’d love to study with Alice. We can learn a lot from each other. 9 please allow me to stay at Alice’s house once a week. If you 10 , Alice can stay at our house with me, too.
Yours,Lillian
