You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. Do you know how I find a good friend? I look for certain qualities such as understanding, honesty and reliability ( 可靠). Most important of all, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful.

Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I am in trouble, he will do his best to help me. There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun.
