Friends are important for everyone , but it's not easy to find friends . For most students , true friends are harder to find . If you have some good friends , you should do your best to keep your friendships .
It's the easiest to make friends and keep friendships with people who have the similar hobbies as you . You can spend happy and relaxing time together , and share your feelings about your interests . However , sometimes it's not necessary for you to be the same . You may have different ideas and habits . Then trying to understand and respect （尊重） each other seems to be more important .
The way you talk with your friends is important . When you talk with them , ask questions to help them start and keep talking .
