I remember when I was growing up ,my mom always said ,“Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others .” It's so true .Friends allow us to enjoy the taste of our success and our joys and comfort us in our challenging moments. They provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves .I've always looked at friends as the family members.They enrich our lives .As Robert Louis Steven once said,"A friend is a present which you give yourself."

To be a good friend，①成为一个好的听众是很重要的.Hear what your friend says first rather than making conclusions（结论）quickly. Sometimes it is useful to repeated their words back to them， it can help them to realize whether their words were what they wanted to say.

Patience is also important in being a good friend. You know the old golden rule, “Care for others they way you would like them to care for you.”The support of a friend during a difficult time could make the difference between success and failure. ② Encouragement and confidence are the best gifts that can change a person's life.

We should choose our friends carefully, because they can have a huge effect on our life. As someone told me“The attitudes of your friends are like the button(按钮) on a lift. They will either take you up or down.

    When I was about 6 years old, I lived in Kenya. On the roads, there were always street children asking for money. There was such a big difference between those children and me. At least I didn't have to worry about my living.

    My family had a wonderful driver, John, who had been working for us for years. He took me to and from school. One day, when we stopped in busy traffic (交通), a young street child went to us and called, "Hi, John!"

    John then gave him a little money and said goodbye to him with a smile before we went on to school. I was quite surprised. I knew that John worked hard to make money. He had a large family himself. We always sent food and clothes to his family. I couldn't understand why he gave money to the child.

    "Who was that?" I asked.

    "My friend," he replied. "Sometimes I see him on my way to work and I give him a little money."

    I was still unable to understand, so I asked, "Why do you give him money?"

    John replied, "So he can use it to buy some food."

    At that moment (瞬间q) I understood what kindness really was.

    Every Friday my grandfather gave me chocolates. I would save (保留) some so I could give them to John' s friend on the weekend.

    In northern Scotland there is a long deep lake called Loch Ness.  More than 200 meters deep, it is the largest lake in the UK.  People  say  a  big monster (怪兽)  lives in its dark, cold waters. It weighs more than 1,000 kilos and is at least ten meters long. Some people say it has a head like a horse. Others say it looks like a snake. Many people travel to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster, but only a few people have seen it. At least, they say they have seen it.

    The Loch Ness Monster is a famous legend (传说). The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500 years ago, but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twentieth century. In 1933, a husband and wife reported that they saw a big monster in Loch Ness. Several people have taken photos, but at least one of them was a hoax (骗局). During the 1960s, a team was formed to look for the monster. They took many photos and made movies, but they were never able to find a monster.

    There is no real fact that a monster lives in Loch Ness, but there is also no fact that one doesn't live. One thing is true about Loch Ness: there are a lot of tourists there.
