What similarities and differences do you see with the paragraphs you wrote 8 Good friends should have many qualities which show that they are trustworthy and true. They should be loyal interesting and enjoyable to rVbe around. Yet I have realized that as I have gotten older the qualities that I believe a good friend should have come down to two important features. I find that the friends who I value the most are those who are willing to listen to me and those who have something to teach me. Having a friend that can listen is in my opinion the most essential part of a good friendship. When I was younger I rarely had long conversations with my friends. However as I have gotten older I enjoy having longer talks. As such having a friend who is willing to listen to me is a core part of my idea of friendship. Without this willingness to listen I have an incredibly hard time becoming close to someone. I am more inclined to feel closer to someone who will listen to me and this is something I 7 highly value in my current friends. Additionally I find myself particularly drawn toward people who are. passionate about subjects that I myself know very little about. I enjoy discussing subjects with people more knowledgeable about them than lam. Moreover I find that this is a key part of making someone a good friend. This process of sharing knowledge on subjects that we are passionate about is something I really appreciate. On the other hand I have had friends in the past who seem to have no passion about anything. In these last few years I have grown distant from them. Overall these two features are what I find most important in my friends. They might not have been as important to me when I was younger. However they are now the foundation of nearly every friendship that I have. central main . 7 the quality of being ready to do something ị inclined Y i feeling willing or drawn tdhC-ồ T act fn a partỉcụtar v ay . passionate .
