What do you want most in a friend - someone who is intelligent, or someone who has a sense
of humor, or someone who is reliable? Which one of these characteristics is most important to
you? Use reasons and specific examples to explain your choice.
Sample essay 1.
Friends are very important in everyone's life. But there are different types of friends: some of
them are very intelligent, some have a good sense of humor and some are reliable. What I want
most is the friend who has a good sense of humor.
Humor is a very important character of a person, because a person who is humorous can always
bring you happiness. I have a friend, who is not very intelligent and reliable, but he is one of my
best friends, just because he has a good sense of humor. Whenever you call him, talk with him, he
always tells you some funny jokes that make you laughing. Even though you are in a very bad
mood, he can make you laugh and forget the sad things. A friend with a good sense of humor is
very optimistic; they can make your world full of light.
If a person doesn't have a sense of humor at all, that's really bad. No matter how intelligent he is,
no matter how reliable he is, he will never bring you happiness, although he can help you solve a
few problems, his world is without laughter. In my class there is a very smart guy, but because of
his lack of humor, we don't like to play with him, although it seems that he knows everything.
Friend plays a very significant role in everyone's life. But humor is the most important character in
a friend, because humorous friends make you happy and see the world optimistically. They make
your world full of hope, and full of laughter.

I think what I want most in a friend is some one who is reliable. There is two reasons: first, I think
a reliable person can be trusted, then, I think whenever I have trouble, I can rely on him, he will
be sure to help me a lot.
First of all, as a friend of mine, he must be reliable, so that I can trust him. I think friends are the
ones who share secrets with me. I must make sure that he is reliable, then I can tell my even the
deepest secret in my heart, may be the skeleton in the cupboard. Well, I’m just kidding, but I do
think that being reliable is the most important factor of a friend. Imagine that once you told your
secrets to your friend, and you found in the following day that everybody in the school was
talking about your secret----not a secret any more---how would you feel? It’s such a horrible
thing, isn’t it? Besides your huge anger, the only thing you could do is to regret that you didn’t
choose a reliable friend. Now you can see how important choosing a reliable friend is.
Secondly, a reliable friend is always ready to help you whenever you are in trouble. There is an
old saying that "a friend in need is a friend indeed" which is very meaningful. That is what a
reliable friend does. You can always rely on him. We can say that a reliable friend is a true friend.
One is lucky if he has even one reliable friend in his life. Not too many words are needed for a
reliable friend to help you, just one sentence "thank you, my friend" is enough and you needn’t
think hard in the pay back because that is not necessary. That’s the reason why I see reliability as
the most important factor when I choose my friends.
A reliable person can be trusted and relied on---that’s the two reasons why I think reliability is
what I want most in a friend.

The answer of this statement depends on your own experience and life style. In my point view,
the most important quality for a friend is reliable. Among countless factors which influence the
choice, these are three conspicuous aspects as follows.
To me, reliability is the most important quality of a friend. A friend is person whom we know, like,
and trust. We may know and like a person who is intelligent, or who has a sense of humor, but we
cannot can him a friend unless he is also faithful and trustworthy. Perhaps we all know the famous
novel by Victor Hugo, Notre-Dame de Paris, and wish that we had a friend like Quasimodo.
Although he is ugly, the man has a kind heart and a very loyal nature. He seems dedicated to
anyone who will show him in turn kindness. Even if someone we know who does not have a sense
of humor, or does not intelligent enough, he can still be our friend because he is the one we can
trust.
Another reason can be seen by every person is that a friend must a person whom we can depend
on. He is willing to listen to us, give us supports, and sympathizes with us when we are in need.
“A friend in need is a friend indeed.” A friend is a person whom we can trust our feelings and
inner thoughts with, and do not fear that he will betray us. It is hard to imagine that anyone will
share his thoughts with a person who, afterwards will spread the content of their conversation to
everyone else in the world.
Of course, intelligent and humorous are also important qualities of a friend. A friend who is
mentally acute can give us sound judgment and rationality when we have problems; a friend who
is funny can give us an enjoyable time, and add spice to our life. But for me, I still think that the
most important quality of a friend is being reliable.

Almost every person in the world needs friends. Different people hold different opinions in
choosing friends. Some consider intelligence as the most important characteristics in their friends;
others regard a sense of humor as the most significant personality. As far as I am concerned,
reliability, which means faith, confidence and trust, is of vital importance. The reasons go as
follows.
Firstly, based on reliability, friendship can be lasting. On the one hand, when your friends are
faithful, you would love to get in close touch with them. For instance, you could reveal your
secrets to them without worry about being betrayed, and tell them your pleasure so as to double
the joys. On the other hand, when you are loyal to your friends, they would also like to keep
relationship between each other. Undoubtedly, you will be frequently invited to friends’ gettogethers
and discussions, in which your opinions will be fully taken into consideration since your
friends respect you and know your suggestion does good not only to yourself but also to them as
well. Thus, willing of both your friends and you to continue the formed friendship will lead to your
perpetual friendship.
What’s more, reliability makes real friendship more solid and deeper. Take borrowing money as
example, it is almost completely sure that, probably besides your family, people you ask for
money are your most reliable friends. You turn to them because you trust their sincerity to give
you help, and, at the same time, they exert themselves to meet your need because they are
confident of your attitude to your friendship, to be more specific, your promise to return money.
Friendship between those friends and you, thereby, gets further development and finally becomes
really invaluable friendship just in coincide with the old saying- a friend in need is a friend indeed.
In conclusion, reliability can be a norm to exam the real friendship and motivate people to deepen
their friendship. When I choose my friends, reliability is the foremost factor to be considered. Not
only should my friends be reliable to our friendship, but also I should too.
