Friends are very important for us.Anyone needs friends.It is nice to have a friend to talk,laugh and do things with.Certainly,sometimes we need to be alone.We don't always want others around us.But we would feel lonely if we had no friends.
Not two people are the same.Sometimes friends don't get on well.However,it doesn't mean that they no longer like each other.Most of the time they will make up and become friends again.Sometimes friends move away,we feel very sad.We miss them very much,but we can talk with them on the phone.We can also make new friends.It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know about them.Of course,we won't forget old friends forever.
There's more good news for people who have friends.They live longer than people who don't.Why?Friends can make us feel happy.Being happy helps us stay well.Or it could be just showing that someone cares about us.If someone cares about us,we will take better care of ourselves.
