Topic: 62
Friends are very important in everyone's life. But there are different types of friends: some of them are very intelligent, some have a good sense of humor and some are reliable. What I want most is the friend who has a good sense of humor.
Humor is a very important character of a person, because a person who is humorous can always bring you happiness. I have a friend, who is not very intelligent and reliable, but he is one of my best friends, just because he has a good sense of humor. Whenever you call him, talk with him, he always tells you some funny jokes that make you laughing. Even though you are in a very bad mood, he can make you laugh and forget the sad things. A friend with a good sense of humor is very optimistic; they can make your world full of light.
If a person doesn't have a sense of humor at all, that's really bad. No matter how intelligent he is, no matter how reliable he is, he will never bring you happiness, although he can help you solve a few problems, his world is without laughter. In my class there is a very smart guy, but because of his lack of humor, we don't like to play with him, although it seems that he knows everything.
Friend plays a very significant role in everyone's life. But humor is the most importantcharacter in a friend, because humorous friends make you happy and see the world optimistically. They make your world full of hope, and full of laughter.

I think what I want most in a friend is some one who is reliable. There is two reasons: first, I think a reliable person can be trusted, then, I think whenever I have trouble, I can rely on him, he will be sure to help me a lot.
First of all, as a friend of mine, he must be reliable, so that I can trust him. I think friends are the ones who share secrets with me. I must make sure that he is reliable, then I can tell my even the deepest secret in my heart, may be the skeleton in the cupboard. Well, I’m just kidding, but I do think that being reliable is the most important factor of a friend. Imagine that once you told your secrets to your friend, and you found in the following day that everybody in the school was
talking about your secret----not a secret any more---how would you feel? It’s such a horrible thing, isn’t it? Besides your huge anger, the only thing you could do is to regret that you didn’t choose a reliable friend. Now you can see how important choosing a reliable friend is.
Secondly, a reliable friend is always ready to help you whenever you are in trouble. There is an old saying that "a friend in need is a friend indeed" which is very meaningful. That is what a reliable friend does. You can always rely on him. We can say that a reliable friend is a true friend.
One is lucky if he has even one reliable friend in his life. Not too many words are needed for a reliable friend to help you, just one sentence "thank you, my friend" is enough and you needn’t think hard in the pay back because that is not necessary. That’s the reason why I see reliability as the most important factor when I choose my friends.
A reliable person can be trusted and relied on---that’s the two reasons why I think reliability is what I want most in a friend.
