II. Let’s talk about friendship and relationship with
friends
As we know, it’s
not an easy thing to find a real friend. In my view, a real friend is a person
whom you trust and respect, who is “a friend in need” and who never lets you
down.
There are no
written rules of how to make friends. Usually friend¬ship between people grows
when they have common views and judge¬ments on things and events, common
interests and ambitions. A real friend should treat me with understanding,
sympathy and compassion, exactly the way they want to be treated by me.
In my view,
friendship is a unique thing that happens between two people. And it’s a great
gift. A lot of people say they have got best friends, but I wonder how many
people actually have a best friend in the real sense of the word.
As for me, I'm a
happy person as I have a true and reliable friend. Her name is Leila. She is a
lively girl, good at sports, especially at vol¬leyball and swimming. She has
different interests, one of them is the cinema. There is no film she hasn’t
seen. She knows everything about famous actors and directors, about the plot of
a film and when and where it was made. Leila has a good character, sometimes I
even think that it’s impossible to be such a pleasant person with everybody but
then I realize this is some sort of tactics. Leila follows the rule: treat
other people as you want them to treat you. I try to borrow this quality from
her. Leila is a very responsible person. If she promises anything, no doubt she
will do it. Leila knows how to organize her time, in my opinion, she has time
for everything. She would plan her activities for a week, that’s why she has
time to go to the swimming pool, cinema and so on.
According to a
survey, young people today have large groups of friends. Having a close group
of people to depend on seems more attrac¬tive and more secure than one
exclusive relationship with one other per¬son. I can't agree with people who
think like that.
I can discuss
anything with my best friend. When I walk into a room, she knows exactly what
mood I'm in, what I need. If I ask for help or advice, she will give me her
helping hand immediately and never leave me at a loss.
To my mind, this
is what real friendship means. I wouldn’t change our friendship, our exclusive
relationship for having two or three new friends. So, be slow at choosing a
friend, but slower in changing him”.
