A friendship is very important. However, it is not easy to build a lasting friendship. In order to do so, you need to make the person whom you want to make friends with trust you. Of course, it is easier said than done. Here is some of my advice about making friends.
First, be careful when you want to make friends with someone. He or she may not be as kind as you think. He or she may lie and may cause you trouble. Once I told a secret of mine to one of my friends. I told him not to tell the secret to anybody else. He agreed. But that was a lie! I was very sad when I found out that he had told the secret to many people. It was so terrible.
Second, it is not easy to keep a friendship. You should think about problems from the side of your friends, show kindness to your friends and take care for them. A friendship won't last long if you don't care for your friends or even blame(责怪) them whenever there is conflict(争执).
My last advice is that you don't have to use presents to show that you care for your friends. Friendship is not built on gifts. It is founded on kindness and true love.
Cherish your friends! They are treasure(财富) in your life!
