C
Real friends are like stars, for they always guide us through the darkness(黑暗). But how can we find a real friend?
The people we are playing with may not be our friends. A true friend isn’t someone who makes our problems disappear, but the one who won’t disappear when we face problems. Fake(虚假的) friends won’t do that. They’re around us during our brightest time, but they would disappear during our darkest time.
Do you know why some people are more popular than others? People who have many friends must have something in common: First, they are full of energy(能量). When sweet and caring people are around us, we also catch their energy. Research shows that positive(积极的) thinking can make people healthier and keep them from terrible illnesses. Second, they are the life coaches. It’s good to have role models in life, especially when we’re young. We can learn from each other. Third, they bring encouragement to us. Sometimes we are so busy with some troubles that we forget good things we have to look forward to. Real friends can help us make a change, like having a trip together. It is a good way to relax and move on.
