　　Suggested Answer:
　　As the saying goes “A friend in need is a friend indeed。”， which is partly true, but a real friend should also be able to share your happy moments --- without feeling jealous. A good friendship is one where you accept and forgive faults, understand moods, and don’t feel hurt if a friend doesn’t feel like seeing you. Of course, honesty is an essential part of any relationship. We should learn to accept our friends for what they are. Anyway, I consider friendship to be one of the most important things in life。
　　词汇与解析(WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS)：
　　1. essential adj. 本质的，实质的
　　2. forgive v. 原谅，饶恕
　　3. jealous adj. 妒忌的，嫉妒的
　　4. mood n 心情，情绪
　　答案解析：
　　考生开门见山地谈了他对“友情”的理解，常言道：“ A friend in need is a friend indeed。” 患难朋友才是真正的朋友。当然，这在一定意义上是对的，副词“partly” 的使用为下一步的陈述埋下了伏笔，考生顺理成章地从不同角度阐明他对“友谊”的看法。真正的朋友会与你分享快乐时光，而没有任何嫉妒。真正的友谊意味着你能容忍和原谅朋友的错误，理解对方的情绪；如果你的朋友不太想见你，你也不会感到受了伤害 (A good friendship is one where you accept and forgive faults, understand moods, and don’t feel hurt if a friend doesn’t feel like seeing you。)。
　　特别值得一提的是在答案的结尾有一个至关重要的句子 “… honesty is an essential part of any relationship。”，它高屋建瓴地概括了各种关系的内涵，它告诫我们只有以诚相待，才能建立真正的友谊。
　　不同的人交友的标准不同。我们交友时，通常会愿意选择性格类似，而不是性格迥异的人，期望朋友间对待工作、学习和生活的态度有共同之处。真正的朋友能在你最困难的时候向你伸出援助之手，你愿意向他倾诉衷肠，他会给你提供宝贵的忠告和建议，他的心中时刻装着你。
　　简而言之，回答“友谊”这类问题时，可以充分发表我们平时对“友谊”的看法，有条理地分层叙述。
