INTRODUCTION
Friends are like chocolate syrup on your vanilla
ice-cream, they make life beautiful; friends are like
candles in a blackout night, they give you hope
when you are in a midst of hardship. A friend in
need is a friend indeed, this idiom has clearly
illustrated the importance of friendship in our lives.
There are many benefits of having good friends.

PARAGRAPH 2 : BENEFITS
The benefits of having a good friend include having
someone to talk freely and secretly about any problem one
may be having. The benefits of having a good friend to talk to
in the above sense also mean that it is having someone to
lean on and to reach out to for support. A good friend is
someone whom one is likely to share common interests and
favourite times. Sharing activities such as these with a good
friend can alone give great pleasure. Your good friend will also
help you extend your circle of friends as you may not know
everyone whom your friend knows. It will be lots of fun to meet
new people who may one day become good friends of yours
too.

PARAGRAPH 3 : BE A GOOD LISTENER
That is why we need to learn how to be a good
friend. Firstly, we need to be a good listener. We
need to be a good listener to help our friends to
release their stress. It can also help our friends not
to feel lonely in facing their problems.
PARAGRAPH 4 : DONT GOSSIP YOUR FRIEND
AND BE TRUSTWORTHY
Secondly, we must learn not to gossip about
our friends. It is because gossiping is not good. It
can cause a fight and it can change friendship into
enemies. That is why we must be a trustworthy
friend. It will increase the trust of our friends
towards our friendship.
