As is commonly acknowledged / Itis commonly recognised that humans are social animals. Living together in acommunity, we naturally expect to have friends. As to what friendship is, we have read different definitions givenby Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher,and Cicero, a Roman statesman. No one will deny that some people make friendssimply for mutual utility. Once the ground for such friendship disappears,the friendship also breaks up. However,a lot more people long for “soul pals”— those who possess virtues and withwhom we can go through trials andtribulations together. Such friendships keep us away from greed andviolence and inspire us to have thecourage of our convictions. Such is what we call “true friendship”. It iswith such friends’ company that we find ourselves surpassing our old selves and becoming better persons / people.

I thought no boy would like to date me. Besides, I was very poorat my academic courses.

He suggested that I should learn to be myselfand then he introduced me to a fashion show team of the university. Encouraged,I decided to change myself. After a 3-month training program on weekends, Icould perform beautifully as a model, and surprisingly, I could concentrate onthe required academic courses as well. The applauses I won at each fashion showand the scholarship I earned proved that being myself was terrific. Since then,my life has changed a lot. Thus, Li Qiang became an important friend of mine.

Last semester, we began to help young peoplewho suffer pressures from physical defects, academic failures or financialproblems. We set up a Confidence Club. Those who come to us for help find ourwork definitely beneficial. Our friendship has led me into a sparkling,rewarding life.  (209 words)
