Although most people have a family, in their darkest moments many will turn to nobody they consider “a true friend” for support and advice. But what make someone “a true friend”, rather than just a good friend?
A true friend will always try harder help. They will be sensitive to their feelings and will not criticize you. They will offer help without being asking and will never expect anything in return.
A true friend will put aside whichever they are doing to come and see you if you are in seriously trouble. They will offer their support in your need, as if everyone else in the world is against you. If you don’t have many friends, but you have one true friend, and you are very lucky. But remember, if you have a true friend, you have to be his true friend too. True friend give as well as take.

It’s not that hard to be a better writer. Seriously, it’s especially true if you’re starting as a non-writer who’s just trying to be competent for day-to-day tasks.
1．Have a Structure． 1 Your body should consist of paragraphs that are grouped according, to topic, each one dealing with a single element of your subject．
2． 2 When you say a car runs "fast" , don't leave it at that．Show me how fast it is by ; detailing the vehicle' s top speed and acceleration, along with listing other cars it leaves in the dust．Do the same with every other significant modifier（修饰语） you use．
3．Don't pad words． 3 Most of the time, this ends up turning what' s essentially nice; writing into unreadable nonsense．You' 11 see this with heavy use of unnecessary adjectives and adverbs, along with useless phrases that can easily be cut off without losing meaning．
4．Choose good words．Sometimes, the way your text reads comes down to word choice．Don't say " converse" when you can say " speak" ; don' t write " adjudicate" when you say "decide"． 4
5．Use a writing software．Notice that we didn't give any advice on grammar．That's because using a quality proofreading software can help you on that end． 5
A．Try not to use adjectives and adverbs without providing an explanation．
B．Don't let anything keep you from it!
C．Many inexperienced writers tend to pad words to meet word count goals．

E．Basically, put your words to good use and find words that will make the experience easier for your readers．
F．Some ideas can be quite correct．
G．Sure, a few mistakes might slip in now and then, but a good tool will take care of most of them．
Alaskan black bears hibernate for up to seven months a year, during which time they do not eat or drink, before waking up in virtually the same physical state they fell asleep in．
Now experts hope to develop methods of putting humans into a similar state which could help astronauts survive long missions and lead to new ways of treating severely ill patients．
While many studies have examined hibernation in mice and hedgehogs, little research has been done into the same condition in larger mammals such as bears．
But new research conducted at the Institute of Arctic Biology at the University of Alaska monitored the animals' body temperature, heart rate and muscle movements while they slept.
The research results showed that during a five-month hibernation the bears’ body temeratures varied between 30℃ and 36℃ in cycles that lasted between two and seven days—a pattern that was previously unknown in hibernating animals.
The research project leader said, "If our research could help by showing how to reduce metabolic(新陈代谢的) rates and oxygen demands in human tissues, one could possibly save severely ill patients. We simply need to know how to turn things on and off to take advantage of the different levels of hibernation."
Craig Heller, of Stanford University, who contributed to the study, added: "There has always been a thought that, if there is ever long-distance space travel, it would be good to be able to put people into a state of lower metabolism or a state of hibernation. That's almost science fiction but you can see the logical basis."
