Just like parents, a good friend is one of the most important people in our life. You should choose your friend carefully because he will play a role as not only your partner but also your competitors that can make you better.
Everybody has his own idea about choosing a friend. You may like a friend who is smart while I prefer a warm-hearted one. But there is one thing anyone will focus on that your friend should have some points similar to you. It is the base of being good friends. Imagine a scene: Two people who want to be friends sit together and try to have a talk. But they don’t have even a same interest. One of them start to talk about his favourite football team-AC Milan when the other is making a speech on the history of America. I believe that they may talk no more because of the bad impression they get from each other.
In my memory, the best friend I get is an elementary school classmate of mine. When I first went to school, I was so shy that I felt afraid of communicating with anyone. After some days, he began to pay attention to me and found me lonely. One afternoon, he came up to me and said:” Would you like to play with me?” I said nothing, but when I saw his face with a big smile, I decided to nod my head. From then on, he became to be my best friend. Apart from playing games together, he also tried to compete with me in studying. We were always the first to ask about the marks as soon as the result of the exam came out. Mine were usually better than his. However, he never said give up and did his best to beat me.
I regarded him as one of the people who changed my life. Without him, I may still be a boy with few words. And I can’t feel so happy during the years I study in my elementary school.

Powerful wings enable eagles to fly high.
Good friends enable you to enjoy a more wonderful life. So a better friend makes a better you.
