I have a lot of friends, the closest among them is my roommate in postgraduate period.Until now we have been knowing each other for six years since 2013. She is a very optimistic and kindhearted girl.She likes a busy life because she hates the feeling of loading time,so most of her school time was spent in studying and taking professional exams, now she had got the CFA certificate and the Judicial examination certificate .She also likes traveling, she traveled to Xizang, Dunhuang, Xiamen,Sichuan,etc. many famous sites in these places.Because of her wide knowledges from reading and traveling, she has many topics and stories to say when you are together, never fear nothing to talk about.The more time you spend with her,the more good characters you will find from her. I like keeping close contact with her, not only her characters that attract me,but also she always be there to give me hand and encourage me and give me advices when I am in bad situations. I am very glad to meet her and willing to spend time in maintaining this friendship.

Friendship, which is not much close as the family affection and the love,but also is the essential emotion in the life. The qualities of a good friendship include mutual trust,sincerity,helpless and encouragement can be offered when you are in difficulties,etc.The most important characters in a friendship I think are two points,one is that you have the same belief and cognition,which do not mean that you must always have the same feelings of everything happens around,you can argue with each other and express your own opinions,but with interlinked hearts and hoping everything has a good result;the other is that you are inter-attraction.
