hat is friendship? Is it just having a friend, that’s all?
Actually, friends are important in our lives. They help us when we are in need. If we don’t have a friend,
then there will be no extra help and support for us.
According to my experience, there was a student who needed help in her homework but nobody came to
help her, as the teacher was too busy. I thought that everyone needs help, so I came to help. As a matter of fact,
we became friends together. I know what it feels like to help others, therefore, I will do my best to help anyone
in need.
We have to understand the feelings of your friends and think about how they feel. We shouldn’t say
anything that would hurt your friends and others’ feelings. It is because if we do that to them, they will also do it
back on us.
When a person is shy, try to talk to her or him, to understand them. When a person is shy, he or she feels
nervous, and he or she expresses a bit of his or her emotion, but don’t mind it. We all feel shy before, but when
a friend comes to help, things will get better soon.
If we have something that is bad or make you sad, try to find a friend to talk to them, maybe they can help
you solve the problem or let you feel better.
If you have a friend, please don’t be mad at them. It is worth to treasure your friends as well as your family.
Don’t laugh at them because it may hurt their feelings and not become friends with you. Most of the people
might think that friends are easy to find, but when it comes to be real friends, they must last long enough of your
friendship.
Let’s share our kindness to every friend. We can play with friends, communicate with friends, share your
ideas to your friends, travel together, do projects together, hang out with friends together and have a wonderful
time. We can do lots of things together with friends. We must cherish our friends as treasures.
We should treasure our friends, help our friends, care our friends, play with our friends. Nothing is
unstoppable when there is friendship, share love with each other.
We should accept others’ strengths and weaknesses, try to improve ourselves by observing their strengths
and try to help friends improve themselves by observing their weaknesses.
What is a family?
Family is important in our lives. It is as important as friendship.
We need a family to support us, just as friends do to support each other. We all have a family. A family is a
shelter for us to give us warmth, love and caring.
In our family, we have our father, mother, brothers and sisters and so on.
What do our parents do?
On our birthday, our parents will celebrate it with a party and they will invite lots of friends to come to
celebrate. Whenever they are busy or tired, they will always do something or prepare something to make us
happy.
On Christmas day, we will receive lots and lots of presents from our parents. You will never know what
gifts you are going to receive but you know that the presents you receive is something you like or the things that
you have wished for a long time. When you open your presents, it will surprise you. These make us happy!
When you have good examination results, your parents will buy something for you as an encouragement
gift. Parents will buy lots of gifts for their child or children, to make them think that learning isn’t that difficult.
