Have you seen the cartoons of two penguins(企鹅) on the Internet? They sit on either side of a small boat. They are friends, but each does something selfish（自私的） which causes their friend "ship" to sink(沉没).
It shows how much people value friendship and sometimes worry they may lose their friends. A friend is someone to talk to about your deepest feelings. And with a good friend you will never be alone.
The key to protecting your friend "ship" from sinking comes down to three simple things: sharing, caring and communicating. Good friends like to share everything with each other. They share their snacks, they share their knowledge about schoolwork, sometimes they even share their clothes! They do whatever they can to make their friends happy. But the most important part of friendship is communicating.
It also means that you keep in touch with your friends even though they may be in different schools or live far away. Without communication it is sure to send your friend "ship" to sink into the sea.
A. And good friends also care about each other. B. The cartoons have become very popular. C. However, keeping friendship isn't always easy. D. Communicating means talking to your friends and being honest with them. E. A friend is someone you can share your happy and sad moments with. |
