　　Suggested Answer:

　　As the saying goes “A friend in need is a friend indeed。”， which is partlytrue, 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 forgivefaults, understand moods, and don’t feel hurt if a friend doesn’t feel likeseeing you. Of course, honesty is an essential part of any relationship. Weshould learn to accept our friends for what they are. Anyway, I considerfriendship to be one of the most important things in life。
