21、lities a friend has, I would choose being faithful and reliable. A I couldnt agree more. Faithfulness is the basis of friendship.

23、ng optimistic is also very important. Having an optimistic friend, you can also keep optimistic. B In my opinion, besides being frank, being helpful is another important quality.

A true friend will not just tell me what I want to hear, but advise me to do what he or she thinks is really best for me in the long run. Such a person is so rare, so Id have my own principle i
26、n making friends and I wont make friends with a disingenuous person.

31、y we live. B Do you think that people of different age groups, for example, teenagers or adults, might have different reasons for making friends? A Yes, people of different age groups have different reasons for making friends. The reason for teenagers to make friends is very simple. As long as they
32、can get along well and can enjoy life together, they can be good friends. During their friendship, maybe they will quarrel with each other, but they will become reconciled in short time. But the reason for adults to make friends is comparatively complex. They are very cautious to make friends. Theyd
33、 prefer friends who are similar to them. I think the friendship is not as deep as that between teenagers. Generally its not very easy to make friends between adults. A VIf you had the chance to travel around the country, who would you prefer to travel with, your parents or your friends? Why? B I pre
34、fer traveling with friends, though I also like to travel with my parents. I think traveling with friends would be very interesting.

36、any friends or just a few close friends? Please explain briefly. A As the saying goes, “One foe is too many; and a hundred friends too few. “ It is advisable to have as many good friends as we can. A good friend can always be a good teacher to us. The more friends we have, the more help we can expec
37、t from them, and the more pleasure we can share with them. Friendship multiplies joys and divides grief. As for me, I have many friends, but few close friends. I dont think they are contradictory.
