Nobody can live a happy life without a good friend. People need friends just like they need water and food. As we all know, friends are just another word for “help”, because good friends always help each other in some ways. For example, when I have difficulties in my studies, my friends will help me to overcome them. Besides, we also work and play together to share our joy and sorrow. In my opinion, a good friend should be honest, friendly, responsible, generous and humorous. In brief, a real friend may spend his whole life with you.

　　Life has its ups and downs, and only true friends always stay around. Like anyone else, I have got many friends. They often help me when I’m in trouble. Especially, when I fail in an examination, they always care for me and encourage me to study harder. Last year, when I was hurt in a basketball game, my friends took me to the nearby hospital at once and look after me by turns. In my eyes, friends are the most precious wealth that one should treasure all his life.
