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(种子)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 best to help. To make a good friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends 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.

To the man in the fog,
I’d like to thank you for your kind help in the terrible fog last week. I was so frightened --- I could hear my 1beating very fast, but you made me feel safe with your kindness.
That Monday, I tried to take my usual bus home 2the fog got too thick, but the bus conductor told me to go to Green Park 3Underground and find a taxi there. I followed his advice. When I arrived at Green Park and got to the station entrance, it was deserted. The fog lay like a thick grey 4. Weather that bad is really rare（罕见的） these days. It was impossible to 5a taxi.
I had to walk in the fog. I became frightened as I could hear footprints but couldn’t see anyone. You spoke to me and offered 6. You took my hand and 7me confidently through the foggy streets to my house. Your hand was rough but strong and warm. Imagine my surprise when you told me you were 8! I wanted to invite you to my house to rest for a while, but you left 9quickly to help other people who were lost in the fog. I regret that I didn’t have the chance to express my thanks to you. If anyone knows this 10man, please contact me through the newspaper so I can thank him personally.
