ReplyDeletei think friend is very important. if you have a really good friend, he can be with you in your whole life. if you have more friend i bet you will have more fun too. Friend also can give you a hand when you need them. some people think people makes friend because they want to use them like using their money. i think that is not true, you should find someone that you really like to hangout
ReplyDeleteFriends are one of the most important thing that influence our live all the time. Most people cannot live without friends because friendship is everywhere in our daily life. No one can love alone, without other's help. When you are happy or upset, friends are always be with you. They can sit down and are willing to listen to what you are thinking about no matter how long will it take. Friends always care about what you like and always protect you from being hurt by other thing. I think it's true that 'A Friend in Need is a Friend indeed'. If a people pretended that he or she didn't see or hear anything when you were in trouble, he or she is not your friend as he or she doesn't even willing to give you a hand. That's not what a friend should do.
ReplyDeleteWhen making friends, it is important to impress your real thought because honest is one of the most important rules in making friends. Also, Standing in a friend's place is very important. Always think about what will your friend think if you were him/she.
FInd someone who you feel relax and happy to stay with and he or she is honest to you for most of the time is the way I find a friend.
I think friends are one of the most important things in the world. I have a really good friends and I so hhapy about that.
ReplyDeleteBut I also think that find good friends is really dificult.
In Spain we have a very famous expresion that say that you can count reals friends with your hand´s fingers and I agree.
The real firend they are that people who stay and help you in all the situtiations, the bad and good situations. For me this it is the most important thing.
Also you have to have to have some stuffs in common with your friends, like sports or hobbies or just have fun together.
I love my friends, they are great!!!
Having a good friend is one of my happiness. Me and my best friend are friends for over 18 years. We've known each other when we were just 2 babies because her parents are my good friends of my parents. She always beside me when I have problems. We always share everything, even secrets and she won't tell anyone. She is a person that I can trust, I can do everything that is very crazy, I can cry in front of her.
ReplyDeleteHence, I think a friend is a person who can share everything,can help you when you have troubles, can always beside you, and cares about you...
Friendship is which I want to respect and protect forever!!!
Friendship is really important for me, which fills our life. And friends always influence me a lot. I can’t do many things without my friends.
ReplyDeleteWe can't say exactly what makes someone a friend, but in my opinion I think that some friends are people to who I can talk when I feel sad or grieved, and they can keep the secrets for me. When I am sad, maybe there is something that I can't talk to my parents, I always tell my best friend these things. She is willing to hear my grievance, keep the secret for me, and always comforts me, gives me advices every time.
Some friends need to have the same hobbies with me, or know what I like. We can have lots of common topics. We also can do lots of things together that both of us are interested in.
Some friends also need to care about my feeling, what I say, and what I think. They need really understand me and comprehend me.
And a friend must be honest to me, or she or he won’t be my friend, because lies can make me really irritated, which is the most disgusting thing in the world.
I always make friends carefully, because I don’t want a friend that I don’t like.
Some people think that friendship is much more important than love. I do too. I think friendship is more eternal, just a personal opinion.
Anyway, friend is one of the most important things in my daily life. I love all my friends. And I hope that we can be friends for each other forever.
There are friends that you have polite chats with, and there are your best friends. They're the people who root for you, no matter what. You tell them your deepest, darkest secrets, and instead of heading for the door, they stick around and your bond with them grows stronger. So i think that friends are the one who can share everything with you even your secrets and they are also the one who will always be with you. I enjoy having my friends.
ReplyDeletefriends are part of our life, we will have lots of friends during our life, in my opinion, how to make friends is how to chose our life style, if we chose friends as same intrest, we will have lots of time stay together, but if we make friends as spend free time, we might have lots of fun, but we wont open heart to each other. friends are good teacher and brothers, they teach u, enjoy spend time with u. dont friad of making friends.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion it is very important to have some of friends. Because if you have some problem a friend is a good person to help you to solve that problem. Also if you don't have any friends, if you have some problem it will be a very tough time to be. Also a friend is some one have some thing same interest as you.If you have a friend he/she may share interests with you. If you don't have any friend you will feel lonely. So this is the reason that I think friend is very important.
ReplyDeleteFriends are very important for people's life. i think specially for us. we came to here without parents, and the only people we can count to its our friends. When we have problems we will solve together, when we want to travel, we will travel together. so, we spend a lot of times with friends in here. but of course, you will have your best friends and friends. your best friends is always that who you can talking to when you in a seriously trouble. its type of guy that you can 100% trust.
ReplyDeleteA proverb says "One man is not good enough to live alone in the world." We need friends' help. Friends are people who willingly and readily help us when we are in trouble, and show sympathy for us when we are in misery.A good friend is also an adviser, because our own points of view towards things may not be always right. Therefore, it is necessary for us to seek advice from friends.
ReplyDeleteWhat's friend ? I think it's the most important thing in everyone's life.
ReplyDeleteFriends should step up on trust not money.A real friend is a person you can believe him/her all the time.Maybe we will qurral sometime but we still don't care about that because nothing gonna change our friendship.
In my opinion, the best friends are who you can share everything.They won't be angry with you if you say some mean words to her, when you are unhappy.They can share your happiness and sadness.
Like in my life , I hate be alone ,so I don't think I can alive without friends.Now I am in U.S by myself without parents and old friends.The best way for me to adapt the new life here is making friends.And I am glad that I am not lonely here.
There are 96 left before I can come back to China.I miss my friends so much.
Just because of friends , my life can be so wonderful !
Friendship is one of the most important part in my life. I have my own experience to prove that friendship is really significant to me. When I came here, I have no friends. A sense of loneliness always filled in my heart. You need a company to be with you. Sharing your happiness and worries.
ReplyDeleteHowever, Boyfriends definitely will never replace friends. My mom always tells me, even though you have a boyfriend, never put yourself in a situation that your world only have your boyfriend. At the end, only true friends can accompany you forever.
A friend will tell you when you have spinach stuck in your teeth.
A friend can tell you things you don't want to tell yourself.
A friend is a present you give yourself.
A friend is the only one left in the room when everyone else has gone.
A friend can give you a hug whenever you need it.
A Friend will hang on our every word, no matter how shocking.
A Friend will listen to what you say and know what you don't say.
A friend should have good communication skills, very honest, and a great sense of humor. This person should be the one that you could like to talk whenever you are happy, sad, mad, and embarrassed. Good friends look out and stick up for each other.
I feel so pleasant that I have a friend like that.
She accompanies me for four years so far. We are twins. We love each other.
I miss my friends so bad. I've never find it is so hard to make friends before I came here. When I was in China, I never tried to make friends painstakingly, but I still have a group of friends. As soon as I came here, I found it is hard to make friends especially with the Chinese.
ReplyDeleteA friend is a person who you can tell everything. She or he can always makes you laugh and makes you cry. A friend is the one who won't make you feel embarrassed when you two are seating together quietly. A friend is the one who will always think about you even if you are not around. A friend is the one who always try to protect you and not letting you get hurt. A friend is the who you trust and be trusted with.
For me, I miss them so much. I really want to spend a lot of time with them during the summer vacation. I hope with we would be able to go for a trip together.
friend!
ReplyDeleteI like to make friends in school years,beacuse we don't have benefit relation.
My father told me,"Many real friendship in school years".
I know friend is important. The world is big, my family can not help in everywhere, so I need to make more friends, we can help each other.
I think friends are roads, they can help me when I in need, so they like roads can help me to get my goal. But they are only roads, I still need walk by myself on this road.
Last week, I met some troubles, and I want to get help from my friends. But some people said"sorry,I can't."
It's not a big trouble,but they didn't help me.
Every friend is different.
For me, sometimes friends are more important than my family. Because parents or children only can spend half of their life to stay with me, but friends can spend their whole life to stay with me.
ReplyDeleteI think two people start being friends when they find they have similar idea. Two people have same interest, same mind is much easier to keep a relationship longer.
Another important thing for friendship is they can always forgive each other. In my mind, a true friend is not only like me positive side but also accept my negative side. We may get angry to each other but we can always forget it.
One thing I get from reading these comments is a very important part of friendship is the ability to argue and show the less positive side of your character, and still be friends. A true friend, I suppose, accepts you the way you are - "warts and all" as the saying goes. Good posts, everyone!
ReplyDeleteWell,friends are the most important part of our life.I like making friends in the school,I will see hello to my friends when we run into each other. I really enjoying having friends around me.
ReplyDeleteSome people say it is ok if they don't have any friends around them. But I don't think so. Sometimes friends are more important than your own family, because one day, you will leave your family.In the society,you have to solve many problem. You can't just rely on your family. You need some friends to work the problems out.So friends are very important.
Some people may have difficult time making friends with each other.Sometimes because they don't have the same interests,lifestyle or even different characters.So I think a friend is someone who is similar to you. And a friend is someone who cares about you and someone you can rely on.
I have lots of friends,and all of them are my best friends. I don't care how much different between us, how many different hobbies we have or how different ways we doing things, what I do care is they used to helped me, cared about me and doing crazy things together. Now, I'm in America, and I make lots of foreign friends, lots of them are from soccer team, basketball team, tennis team and football team.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a serious person, sometimes I just have a short talk with someone, and we become friends. I know everyone has their own special skills, experience and genius thinking, and I really want to learn somethings from my friends. Another important thing causing you make friends is they have the best and funny sense of humor, stay with your friends can make you laugh all the time and forget all trouble in your life.
I feel great because all boarding students are my best friends now!
Yep. Like what you said, friends are always important for our life. We can't life without friends. Even though you are an evil person. Actually both the bed guy and good guy are all have friends. But the really important thing which is to choose a friend is good for our life. The elder often told me try to make friend with some friend but do not make with others. Because in their opining the different friendship makes different character. So do I. Actually I don't really think I have a lot of friends, but those friends i only have they are all really kind and promising. And that is
ReplyDeleteI think friends are very important in my life whatever young and old
ReplyDeletel love make friends.i think them helps a lot. some friends you can have fun with some can help you work....
i hope i can make friends with everybody and forever
I really trust one sentence it is: Money can't buy friend. In my opinion make friend should trust love and take care. If u take care ur friend they will take care u i think everything are equal if u nice to other the other will nice to u. But in the world we have bad people and good people they also make friends. Because everyone have to make friend if someone is alone no one will help love and take care he or she especially when he or she needs help. So friend is important for me and for everybody. Friends can give u suggestion can make fun and so on. I hope everyone can be friend. We need leave the bad people alone.
ReplyDeleteFriends are really important for me. I seems like have a lot of friends. In china, there are many friends around me. We were going to eat in the restaurant, go to KTV, go to see the movies because they know I'll pay for it. That's one kind of friends that I don't really like but I have to make friends with them. Because they may can help me in the certain way. The another kind of friends is who know u. Everyone have these kind of friends. I have two friends in America who can deeply listen to me, help me. I'm so lucky I can find these kind of friends
ReplyDeletefriends! I love to make friends,what is friend? A friend is a person who cares about you. He would let you borrow stuff, and wouldn't say mean things. He would be by your side and would not let you down.A friend is someone who cares about you, plays with you and sticks up for you if someone is mean to you.A friend is someone who goes with you in the good times and bad times.
ReplyDeleteIt's not pretty hard to make friends. you can make friend every where even just with a conversetion you can make friend. in Facebook we add people as a friend just to have more and look more popular. we even add people that we don't even know, which is kind os dangerous and creepy. But what is really really hard is to make real friend. That fiends that are there to help you always. hat kind of friends that we can just count even with just one hand. Those kind of friends are those that u have always fun with, those kind of friends that make you laugh when you are sad.
ReplyDeletefor my a good friend is someone who is alway there, not matter what. those friend that you cant live with out and forgive you all the mistakes that you have done. for me that is a REAL FRIEND.
ReplyDelete
