Talking about the friendship
I still remember the Titanic, though it's a big ship but it still sunk, so, in my opinion①, the best ship is the friendship.Friendship is one of the most important things in everyone's life.
Eeveryone need friends because there are a lot of things that you can't deal with② yourself, and the friends just make up for③ it.
When you're down, friends lift you up.When you lose your way, friends guide④ you and cheer you on.
Friendship just likes the sun, it can make you feel warm though in the cold winter, friendship just likes the water in the desert, it can make you feel that in the world, there still has hope .In a word, the friendship is the same meaning as the greatness, selfness and devotion⑤.
To make friends ,adding a friend equals adding a way ,open your heart ,devote yourself ,let friendship make your world colorful.
