To have a friend is to be one!
At this time of the new semester, new grades, new teachers and new classmates, the key is to make new friends and get to know each other early on.
To have a fun school year, it is very important to have close friends. They will comfort you not only in happiness, but also help you get through the difficult times. It is said that friends who are there for you in trying times will become lifelong friends. It is important to have a few close friends but on the other hand it is also important to get as many friends as possible and broaden the sum of friendship.
British critic Emerson’s wrote “The only way to have a friend is to be one.” Furthermore, he says, “People become acquaintances by meeting, become friends by spending time and become companions by helping each other.” Both are meaningful expressions.
