Friendship is the most important thing in the world. But now do you find a real friendship and keep it?
An American writer tells young students some smart ways to find friends. He says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed(种子) and take care of it to make it grow.
First, to make friends, you must be kind and friendly to others. You should learn to smile at others and try to make a stranger feel at home. You should think more of others than of yourself.
