Friendship
Friendship is a special relationship between people. People need this relationship because they expect help and comfort from each other. Those who have friends have less stress and maybe longer lives. Friendship is usually based on common interests and mutual understanding, true encouragement and sympathy.
A friend is the one who has a tight relationship of trust with another person. Real friend can often make better an awful day and cheer you up because that is what friends exists for. A real friend is every time next to you, you can for sure count on his support and attention. You can have a lot of acquaintances, they come and go, but real friend is always there when you need a shoulder to cry on.
Good friend is someone who helps you to see the truth even if it hurts, who keeps your secrets and shares things with you. People usually become friends when they have much in common, when they have much to tell each other, when they trust each other and rely on each other. If you feel depressed your friend will hang out with you to amuse you, to cheer you up and have a laugh with you. A good friend will not take offence at you if you disagree with him. I have a wide circle of friends who are on the same wavelength. I get on well with them because I respect their differences. It is good fun to be with them but my special friend is Alex.
Alex is tall (well-built, pretty, handsome, plump, good-looking, slim) in his/her teens. Sasha has got an oval face with shoulder-length hair, greenish-blue eyes and full lips. Alex is an active and energetic person who enjoys running, dancing, swimming, playing sports games. He is also ambitious and works so hard at school to be successful in the future. All in all, Alex is very special to me as my best buddy is every time there when I need him/her.
