What Makes a Good Friend?
Everyone makes friends, and nearly everyone has a good friend. What makes a good friend?
Firstly, I think a good friend should be someone who has a lot in common with you. You can share your ideas with him or her. Secondly, a good friend should be there for you all the time, not just when he or she wants to be, and he or she should keep in touch with you even though you may be far apart. Thirdly, a good friend is someone who listens to you but, at the same time, doesn’t just agree with everything you say. He or she should definitely tell you when you’re making a mistake. Lastly, a good friend should be kind, have a good sense of humour and be able to forgive you easily
