Friends are important to us. We all have friends. Not only us but also birds and animals who have friends. We can’t live alone. We must live with friends happily and peacefully. We meet friends in school. There are two kinds of friends. Some of them are good and others are bad. We must be able to identify a true friend. Friendship is a strong bond. Good friends have good qualities. Honesty, peace and kindness are the good qualities in a friend. Bad friends are selfish, aggressive and jealous. I have met good friends in school. They are kind and helpful. They never quarrel with me. They help with my studies, and I also help them. They are not jealous of me. Good friends never abandon someone when they are in trouble. So we must associate with good friends.
