Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying: Friends are God’s way of looking after us. But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
The Care and keeping of Friends by American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends.
Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed(种子) and look after it to make it grow.
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient（耐心）. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complains( 抱怨) and do their best to help. To make a friend, you can’t be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things can’t always be happy. Even the best friends have fights（吵架）. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to them. When there is no one around, have an honest （真诚的） talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.
Sally says there are three steps of being friends again: Tell him or her how you are felling; say what your friend has done wrong, and say why you did this or that . The book also has advice on some small but important things like celebrating your friends’ success. Even if you haven’t had a real friend before, you will start to think of having one if you read this book. Because the book tells that friendship is the most important thing in your life.
