"Your'e my best friend"

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Walk beside me and be my friend." Albert Camus.

There are two kinds of families in life - the one you are born to, and the one you choose for yourself. The second kind, in most cases, is the one we feel more open with, this family is consisted(gr. - no need for passive - consists of) of our closest friends. But what are true friends? In this essay, I will present my opinion about the qualities that a true friend should have.

In my opinion, a true friend should be capable of listening. Sometimes, it is even more significant to just listen than to give a good advice. The reason for that derives from every person's profound need to be listened, to feel that there is a withness to his life - someone who dermonstrates concern for one's sake.

Furthermore, A friend should be the first one to stand by in hard times. When making a mistake, or going through times of trouble, it can be very hard to recover without that person who consoles you, believes in you and shows his fidelity to you. Moreover, one of the most significant values in a friendship is a healthy communication. When things are not talked with understanding and in a cordial manner, there will not be frankness and a feeling of amenity between the friends.

In conclusion, I believe that a friendship is based on mutuality. If one wishes to have a great friend, a person who listens, helps, consults and consoles, first he will have to be this friend. Only by being a good and supportive friend, will he deserve to have such a friend.
I loved it!
Well done

An opinion essay

Some people prefer team sports, such as football; Others prefer individual sports, for instance the tennis sports field. To my mind, the team sports are more preferable. But just like everything in life, this issue bears its pros and cons.

The team sports have beneficial advantages. They teach one how to work with a team and what the meaning of being a part of it is. Furthermore, the entire responsability is divided between the other team members and this division enables each one to contribute to the collective effort to reach excellence.

Apart from the pros, the team sport field also has its cons. Every person wishes to prove his abilities, but being a part of a team may complicate matter(s). The self- fulfillment of each member will be less significant if his role is slightly minor.

In conclusion, any kind of sports contributes to our phisical health, and also to our world of values. But, if you wish to improve your social skills and gain friends as well, I find the team sport field more attractive for you!
Very good work!
