Choose the best answer by blackening the circle.
Being a Good Friend
Have you heard of the saying ‘friends come and go’? It may sound sad but it is not the end of the
world. Here are some helpful suggestions to be a better friend to others.
[ (i) ]
Relationships are all about trust. If people feel comfortable with you, they are more likely to include
you as their friend. Therefore, be real and be honest. Do not pretend to be someone you are not. Give honest
opinions and always keep your promises.
[ (ii) ]
Communication is very important in a relationship. When you talk to someone without getting
feedback in a conversation, you would not want to keep talking to that person. Therefore, try to ask questions
to know more about your friend's life. Only listening to your friend is not enough. Share your thoughts too!
[ (iii) ]
You should also apologise when you are wrong. We should say sorry and ask for forgiveness for all
kinds of mistakes we make. We do that because we are brave and we think that our friends are precious.
[ (iv) ]
In conclusion. treat everyone with respect, just like how you would like others to treat you. When
you do that, more and more people will want to be your friends!
