Being a good friend isn't always easy, but taking the time to nurture(培养) a lasting friendship is worth the effort. As the years pass, some people will stay by your side; but many won't. And you'll realize that each friendship you keep is valuable. To have a good friend, you must be one. But, what is the quality of a good friend?
Being trustworthy. If you say you'll go out with a friend and just cannot go, give your friend a gift and tell him or her you're sorry. Nobody's perfect, and it's okay if you break a promise once in a blue moon, but don't make it a regular thing.
Be respectful. If your friend doesn't share the same values and beliefs with you, respect his or her choices and be open to hearing more about them.
Don't interrupt conversations. Take the time to truly understand when your friend is talking to you. Listening may open space between the two of you.
The best gifts are often hand-made and come from the heart. A phone call can mean as much as a visit!
A. You don't have to spend a lot of time or money to be good friend.
B. Good friends show respect for each other by being open and supporting each other.
C. Just follow these steps.
D. Be a good listener.
E. Don't ever make a promise that you can't keep.
