  范文:

  Each friendship can serve a purpose in your life--some just for fun and some offering muchmore. The sole test to tell a real friend from a fake one is adversity. In times of need, realfriends will walk in and care about you while fake friends will walk out and talk about you behindyour back.

  Having friends with a sense of humor is fun. In social life, it is important to have fun withfriends and laughter is such a huge part of a relationship. Often people who have a keen senseof humor also have a better grasp of friendship, unless it is false friendship. In many cases,choosing a friend with whom you can have fun may help you to overlook the unbecoming,understand the unconventional, tolerate the unpleasant, overcome the unexpected, andoutlast the unbearable. Sometimes it seems that if you do not have friends with a sense ofhumor, life is not funny anymore. In short, laughing heartily with friends may just turn out tobe a good medicine of life that is sometimes sick with all its stress and complexity.

  Nevertheless, you want to have true friends who will show their love to you in times of trouble.In real life, friends are needed both for joy and sorrow. Therefore, to have true friends is tohave your needs answered. It is that kind of expectation which determines the quality offriendship. How lucky you are to be able to choose a friend who will help you when you are inneed? Such a friend will never try to hurt you, not even in a joke under the disguise of a bittersense of humor. In contrast, a fake friend laughs every time you fall, whereas a real friend runsover to help you on your feet.

  On the whole, real friends, like precious and rare diamonds, are hard to find; and fake friendsfor having fun are everywhere like autumn leaves. Only in times of need can you realize who areyour true friends and who are your fake friends. After all, having fun is not the ultimatepurpose of friendship.
