Question

Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship（友谊） back. That is why some friendships don’t last（持续） very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat （对待）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 means being honest. It is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on（依赖） one another to speak and act honestly.

Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your friend your lunch money or your clothes, or enjoy your hobbies and interests together. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable（有价值的） to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know you better.

Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help 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.
