The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences          (bring) out in the open. Second, apologize when you’ re wrong - even if you have been wronged . Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes.

In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for         development of our writing skills.
