P1【原文畅读】 What Makes A Good Friend? @TIME for Kids A good friend brings out the best in you and is there for you, whatever happens. What Does A Good Friend Look Like? Friends can come in many forms: they can be young or old, or might even be an animal like a pet. A good friend: A lways brings out the best in you G enerally keeps your secrets, unless they affect your safety O ften shares your interests O ften shares your feelings, and always understands you D efends you and sticks up for you – even when others don’t F orgives you if you make mistakes or do something silly that hurts them R egularly shares with you: toys, thoughts, fun, … everything I ncludes you in whatever they’re doing E ncourages you and isn’t jealous of you N ever lets you down D oesn’t try to control you, but tells you when you’re doing something stupid They may not do all these things all the time; but they’ll do many of them most of the time. Being Friends and Having Friends We can be a friend to others as well as having friends ourselves. People often say: The best way to have a friend, is to be one. We can also be a good friend to ourselves by taking time to look after our body and mind. What About When Friends Fight or Move on? Friendships can change over time, like any relationship.
