Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying： A life without a friend is a life without the sun. But how can we find real friendship and keep it？
　　I think finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed， take care of it and make it grow.
　　First， you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend？ It’s not a person who has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and helpful. For example， if you have a bad day， a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his best to help you.
　　But things are not always what we expect. Even good friends sometimes may have quarrels.
　　What should you do when you have quarrels with your friend？ I think you can have a talk with him， or you can write him a letter.
　　Let me tell you three steps to being friends again. The first， you should tell him or her how you are feeling and how you treasure your friendship. The second， you should tell your friend where he is wrong. The third， try to explain why you did this.
　　If you do not have a friend， you will start to think of having one， because friendship is the most important thing in your life. Remember： Life is great if we have friends.
