27. characteristics of a good friend

 

Personally, I would like to say that a good friend should have the following characteristics at least. The first characteristic I wanna say is that he should be talkative, in this way, I would not feel lonely and have the chance to improve my interpersonal and communication skills which are very important in my future career. The second characteristic is he should be obliging, when I have difficulty, he will help me deal with it; when I feel depressed¹ and wanna give up, he will stay with me and encourage me. So that’s the characteristics a good friend should have.

(Intelligent. When we encounter some problems, he or she has the capacity to deal with them, careful enough to analyze² the proposals and decisive enough to make the final decision. a good partner should be cooperative. That means he or she has a strong team spirit. To reach the same goal, friends must be working together and working toward the same goal.)
