FRIENDSHIP

Что такое дружба? Некоторые люди скажут, что это - чувство взаимной симпатии между двумя или больше людьми, другие добавят, что это - состояние, когда один человек понимает и поддерживает другого.

Я думаю, что дружбу можно сравнить с деревом. Его семя должно найти хорошую почву, и при хороших условиях оно превратится в дерево. С годами оно все более уверенно будет стоять на земле. И если оно будет достаточно сильным, то переживет все штормы и ветры. Но чтобы помочь ему, мы должны заботиться и любить его.

Самым важным чувством, которое существует между друзьями, является доверие. Оно никогда не появляется само по себе, это - результат долгой дружбы, и это чувство очень ценно. Уважение и терпимость также очень важны; это значит, что вы не критикуете способ жизни своего друга, но пытаетесь понять его, обсудить проблемы с ним и объяснить ему, что вы думаете хорошо, а что плохо. Друг - это человек, который может помочь вам вовремя, предоставить вам любую денежную сумму в течение длительного периода времени без любого процента, кого вы можете разбудить посреди ночи только, чтобы сказать, что вы волнуетесь или кто стремится сделать для вас все, не ожидая ничего взамен, кто поддерживает вас во всех ваших начинаниях и кто никогда вас не предаст.

Повезло тем, у кого есть друзья. Я счастлив иметь много друзей. Некоторые из них очень близки, некоторые меньше. Но все они делают мою жизнь интересной и приятной.

Я ценю дружбу. Она делает счастье более ярким и менее болезненным горе, потому что у нас есть друзья. Когда мы сомневаемся относительно нашей способности достичь желаемого или достижения нашей секретной цели, именно наш лучший друг дает нам искру уверенности. И мы верим нашим друзьям, и мы благодарны им. Дружба - мост между одиночеством и товариществом, крушением и уверенностью, отчаянием и надеждой, неудачами и успехом. Именно поэтому истинный друг - бесценный подарок. "Те богаты, у кого есть истинные друзья", говорит пословица, и я соглашаюсь с ней полностью.

Friendship.

What is friendship? Some people will say that it is a feeling of mutual liking between two or more people, other will add that it is a state when one person understands and supports the other one.

To my mind friendship can be compared to a tree. Its seed should find good soil and under good conditions it will grow into a tree. As the years go by the tree stands firmer and firmer on the ground. And if it is strong enough, it will survive all the storms and winds. But to help it, we should take care of it and love it.

The most important feeling that exists between friends is trust. It newer appears by itself, it's the result of a long friendship and this feeling is very valuable. Respect and tolerance are also very important; it means that you don't criticize your friend's way of living, but try to understand him, discuss problems with him and explain to him what you think is good and what is bad. A friend is a person who can help you in time, lend you any sum of money for a long period of time without any percent, whom you can wake up in the middle of the night just to say you feel worried or who is eager to do everything for you waiting nothing in return, who supports you in all your beginnings and who will never betray you.

Lucky are those people who have friends. I'm happy to have lots of friends, too. Some of them are very close, some are less. But all of them make my life interesting and enjoyable.

I appreciate friendship. It makes happiness grow brighter and grief less painful, because we have friends to share it with. When we doubt our ability to fulfill our aspiration or to reach our secret goal it is our best friend who gives us a spark of assurance. And we trust our friends and we are grateful to them. Friendship is a bridge between loneliness and fellowship, frustration and confidence, despair and hope, setbacks and success. That's why a true friend is a priceless gift. They are rich who have true friends, says a proverb and I agree.

Tolerance wins friends

I think that tolerance help you to make friends.

Tolerance means to respect other people’s likes and dislikes, opinions and believes.

It also means not to start an argument over something you disagree with and it means to keep things to yourself that could hurt other people’s feelings.

If you don’t like what someone is wearing or something like that, you should keep it to yourself so you don’t hurt anyone’s feelings. Tolerance also means to be kind, helpful, kind-hearted, thoughtful and more.

Why does tolerance help to make friends?

a) You agree with everything

b) You share other people’s beliefs and opinions.

c) You share other people’s likes and dislikes.

d) You respect beliefs, opinions and behaviour different from your own.

Are boys from your school the same?

We don’t make friends with our boys. We don’t have similar interests.

Our boys are spending so much time playing stupid computer games that they live in a virtual world. They adore horror films. When girls talk about computers, they discuss programmes they us for learning. Boys simply talk about computer games. When girls talk their problems through, boys talk how to defeat monsters with laser guns from a new computer game.
