It’s
nice to have a lot of friends. You can enjoy many things together. All
my classmates are rather nice but all of them have different characters.
Some are courageous, kind-hearted, curious, faithful, thoughtful. In my
class there are no heartless pupils but there are some egoists and
selfish men. Sometimes we can be idle and boastful but we are always
ready to help each other in trouble. We can learn about different
characters from books and films. We also read different news about
people in papers. All of us like amusing games and funny stories. A
good friend is a friend in need, who is always willing to do something
useful for you, who can give good advice, who can keep secrets. Some of
my friends are my neighbors. We live in the same street and go to the
same school. My friends usually obey their parents and teachers.
They never complain of anything, they are worried about each other’s
health. All of them are fond of nature. They like to take care of
animals and plants. In summer and in spring they help their grandparents
to work in the garden: to dig the soil, to cut useless brunches, sow
seeds, water and weed plants. At harvest time they gather crops of corn,
fruit and vegetables. They never do harm to birds. They protect their
nests, make bird tables and put food on them. We have a lot of
interesting conversations in our class. We discuss different problems.
Sometimes discussions are very exciting. In the evening I often talk to
my friends over the phone. When some of my classmates are ill they have a
good reason to ring up their friend and learn what the homework is. We
also exchange opinions on different matters. Boys and girls get along
well. They don’t quarrel. We have a lot in common. My classmates enjoy
out-of-class activities and traveling. Traveling helps us to become
friendlier. Besides we are always full of impressions and excitement. It’s
good to have a friend who has fine qualities in character: generosity,
being reserved, reliable, intelligent, persistent in studying,
straightforward, reasonable, decent, honest, polite, punctual, kind,
faithful, warmhearted .You can be always sincere with such a friend, you
can think aloud with them. I hate selfish, flattery, lazy, indifferent,
boastful, false and greedy people. The proverb says: ”No man is
useless while he has a friend”. But the greatest value that guides
me in my life is kindness, and it’s no wonder. Usually kindness is
harmoniously connected with other good qualities. If a person is not
kind, if he’s selfish, if he cares only about himself, then his other
qualities - courage and will-power are worthless. You can see what a
person is worth through his attitude towards others. If he is devoted to
people, he is devoted to his work. Kindness is the main thing, the
essence of what is best in a human-being. It’s unpleasant to deal
with unreliable people and there is no doubt in it. Such people don’t
possess the feeling of duty, they can let you down at any moment, they
cannot be friends in need. When people are stubborn, it’s also no good.
They don’t respect the point of view of other people, they are sure that
they are always right, they don’t follow advice of other people.
Sometimes it’s dangerous to deal with such people, you can’t rely on
their support. I think it’s good to develop persistence and
confidence in oneself, because if a person is not reliable, he is unable
to make conclusions and come to right decision in proper time. A person
can prove to be a personality by his deeds, not by his words. The
proverb says: ”Actions speak louder than words”.
