FriendshipДружбаOne of the most valuable things in life is friendship. It is extremely important for people to have someone, who they can trust. It isn’t difficult to find friends, but not everyone can stay for a lifelong period. Those, who stay, become the closest people for us. Usually people meet, get acquainted, communicate and as a result become friends. However, only time can show, whether the friendship is strong or not. For me friendship is not only communication, but support, understanding and sympathy. If your friends are real, they never betray you, they never leave you in trouble, they always listen to your problems and try to help when needed. I have lots of good friends, but two of them are the best. Their names are Lana and Rita. I can always rely on them and share my thoughts with them. We spend lots of time together. I simply can’t imagine life without these people. They make my life brighter and more interesting. When I’m bored, I can always phone my friends and ask them to come over. Sometimes we go to the cinema, sometimes to the theatre or to the museum. For me they are a part of my family. I fully trust them and I know that they would do anything for me. For example, Lana has once saved my life. When we were both twelve, we went to swim in the lake. While we were swimming, I had a leg cramp. Nobody noticed that I couldn’t swim to the shore, but Lana did and she helped me to get out. Such things can happen to anyone, so we always try to be caring and attentive to each other. I know that it’s not easy to find a real friendship. I have met lots of false friends as well. So, now I try to appreciate the relations I have with my true friends
