Friends are principal part of our life. A good friend, to some extend, is like a good teacher. From
my point of view, the characteristics of a good friend should have respect humorous and vigilance.

The foundation of any relationship, whether among families and friends or husband and wife, is mutual respect. Respect between friends means we should be honest to friends rather than suspect them. Moreover, it is not moral to do some thing that is harmful to them. For example, one of my sister friends stole their classmate’s wallet. When she was asked to go to office and her teacher asked her whether she had stolen the wallet. She denied it , adding that she saw one day my sister had been class alone, resulting my sister’s teacher suspected that my sits stole it! Thereforely, the influencing of
distracts her from studying in long term.

Humorous is another personatity that a good friend should have. We inevitably intend to make friends with those people who have sence of humorous。 They never fair to make circumstance agreeable or comfortable and make people laughter. Laughter is beneficial to our health and our life. It diminishes the feelings of tension, anger and sadness. According to a current investigation confirms that when laughter becomes a regular experience that trains our bodies to be more healthy inasmuch as
it boosts our brain chemical, increasing our volneribility to illness.

Furthermore, everyone will face all sorts of problems and some of them beyond us
so that our friends should be those people who have capability of solving problems, we can learn tons of practical knowledge
and useful skills from them
which are quiet important to us when we meet the analogical problems.
