　　Suggested Answer:

　　As the saying goes “A friend in need is a friend indeed。”， which is partly true, but a real friend should also be able to share your happy moments --- without feeling jealous. A good friendship is one where you accept and forgive faults, understand moods, and don’t feel hurt if a friend doesn’t feel like seeing you. Of course, honesty is an essential part of any relationship. We should learn to accept our friends for what they are. Anyway, I consider friendship to be one of the most important things in life。

　　答案解析：

　　考生開門見(jiàn)山地談了他對(duì)“友情”的理解，常言道：“ A friend in need is a friend indeed。” 患難朋友才是真正的朋友。當(dāng)然，這在一定意義上是對(duì)的，副詞“partly” 的使用為下一步的陳述埋下了伏筆，考生順理成章地從不同角度闡明他對(duì)“友誼”的看法。真正的朋友會(huì)與你分享快樂(lè)時(shí)光，而沒(méi)有任何嫉妒。真正的友誼意味著你能容忍和原諒朋友的錯(cuò)誤，理解對(duì)方的情緒；如果你的朋友不太想見(jiàn)你，你也不會(huì)感到受了傷害 (A good friendship is one where you accept and forgive faults, understand moods, and don’t feel hurt if a friend doesn’t feel like seeing you。)。

　　特別值得一提的是在答案的結(jié)尾有一個(gè)至關(guān)重要的句子 “… honesty is an essential part of any relationship。”，它高屋建瓴地概括了各種關(guān)系的內(nèi)涵，它告誡我們只有以誠(chéng)相待，才能建立真正的友誼。

　　不同的人交友的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)不同。我們交友時(shí)，通常會(huì)愿意選擇性格類似，而不是性格迥異的人，期望朋友間對(duì)待工作、學(xué)習(xí)和生活的態(tài)度有共同之處。真正的朋友能在你最困難的時(shí)候向你伸出援助之手，你愿意向他傾訴衷腸，他會(huì)給你提供寶貴的忠告和建議，他的心中時(shí)刻裝著你。

　　簡(jiǎn)而言之，回答“友誼”這類問(wèn)題時(shí)，可以充分發(fā)表我們平時(shí)對(duì)“友誼”的看法，有條理地分層敘述。
