If you give someone something for free,maybe he or she won’t value it. If you are their friend and you’ve done something great in the world,they may think you can’t be that great. If you were that great,then,certainly you wouldn’t be their friend. So what is free and valuable to us?
Well,air is free and valuable. If you don’t have it,you will die. Another free thing is friendship. Think about your friends. If you have friends like I do,you cherish,like,respect and are thankful to them. They are always there for you,especially true and loyal friends.
What else is free? Well,family. I love my family. We have great relationships. We don’t argue or fight. We get along very well. I treasure every conversation I have with them. I follow their advice when I ask for it. I admire their silence when I don’t ask. I enjoy their support and love for me.
Education is free. You can study at the library and pursue your own personal education for free. You might have to pay to go to high school or college,but,you can always go to the library and learn for free.
There are so many things that are free. I give a lot of things away that can and will change your life. I give free English lessons. I give away free books that I’ve written. I give my time and efforts at an English corner where I help others learn English better.
