I've got many friends. We get on well with each other,  but not all of them can be my closed friends. To be honest, i think there are some differences between common friends and good friends. It hard to say...
   In my experience, a good friend is someone who accepts you as you are. He/She doesn't want to change me. Also a good friend is someone who cheers you up when you're feeling down. That 's important. For this topic, i did a survey among my friends. Some people think trustworthy and mutual respect are very important, some one thinks good friends need to have something in common....
    Anyway, What's your opinion?

Anyway, good friends should include your wife / husband...

To me , loyalty will be more important .

each other loyalty

i think a close friend should share the good thing and the bad thing with u.ans should be a good listener when u r feeling down~

i also get some answers from my friends: someone thinks that a good friend should be a supportive listener, honesty, a sense of humour; someone holds that good friends encourage each other and share happiness; someone says that good friends need to have similar personality......Each to his own, most people agreed that to be honesty, trustworthy is very important.

Talking of what's the most importance of being good friends, I think that's trustworthiness. Good friends can't be made untill trustworthiness has been constructed.

Good friends need to be good listeners. When someone is in agony or desperate, it's very helpful to speak out to his/her friends to relieve the emotion. But can he/she speak out to one who doesn't trust? He/she is afraid to be judged.

I compare human being's emotion to a balloon, which inflates when human being isn't happy and needs to release when it's big enough. Therefore, we need good friends.

Caring is most important

en~~~~~~~~~~I think if someone is your good friend,when you are be together,you don't need care anything,just do anythingyou what you think.She will stay with you when you feel happy or sad.Whatever good friend is little,not everyone has .

hello everyone, this is my maiden work in English Corner. Nice to meet you.

i have a good friend,we know each other for ten years, we live in the same city,  but we believe that: the friendship between men of virtue is light like water.
do you think so?

e
i just think he/she can accept to you when you make a mistake,and he/she can help you change or solve the problem.
