　　Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don't give friendships back. That is why some friendships don't last very long. To have a good friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friends the way you want your friends to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules, be honest; be generous(慷慨的) ; be understanding.

　　Honesty is where a good friendship starts. That is to say, honesty is the base of a friendship. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don't tell the truth, people can find out at last. If a friend finds out that you haven't been honest, you may lose your friend's trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.

　　Generosity means sharing and makes a friendship grow. You have to give your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to friends. They tell your friends what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friends know you better.

Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with problems. Something
