Friendship is very important．However, it is not easy to build lasting（持久的） friendship．In order to do so, you need to make the person you want to make friends with trust（信任） you．Of course, it is easier said than done．Here is some of my advice about making friends．

First, _____．He or she may not be as kind as you think．He or she may lie and may cause you trouble．Once I told a secret of mine to one of my friends．I told him not to tell the secret to anybody else．But that was a lie! I was very sad when I found out that he had told the secret to many people．It was so terrible．

Second, it is not easy to maintain（维持） friendship．You should not be selfish（自私的） and you should think about problems from the side of your friends．It is also important to keep calm．Friendship won’t last long if you don’t care for that friend or blame（责备） him or her whenever there is a conflict（冲突）．

My last suggestion is: you don’t have to use presents to show that you care for your friends．Friendship is not built on gifts．Instead, it is made up of kindness and true love．

Cherish（珍惜） your friends! They are treasure （财富） in your life!
