Friendship means very much in your life. You realize it fully when you think how you can live without your friends. In many cases it's unimaginable. That's why the Englishmen say, "A friend in need is friend indeed". The borderline between friends and acquaintances is different in Russian and English culture: Russians often say that close friends are not numerous. You have only from one to three true friends whom you can confide in and share all your troubles. All the others are just those with whom you can spend free time or discuss recent news and popular films. Whereas Englishmen think that anyone with whom you are on good terms is you friend. American view on friendship is even more exaggerated. But, as you know, "So many countries, so many customs". Even friendship is different in different countries ...
As for me, all my friends and acquaintances can be subdivided into three different groups. Firstly, there are those whom I know for а very long time, sometimes even before school. Those friends are not many, but my best friend among them. Secondly, there are my school friends. We were together for so many years that we have very much in common. This fact unites us. And lastly, there are my college friends. We know each other for a short time, but still we are friends, because our interests are similar.
For each person the classification may be different. As my father served in the army, he had many friends there. They are from all parts of our country! It is friendship that makes us stronger! I would like to speak about my closest friend. His name is Sergey. We know each other since early childhood. When we were boys, we went to the country together, played tennis, swam in the river and had fun. We studied in the same school and often helped each other in our homework. When I was а teenager, I had mаnу problems and questions without answers, and I always turned to Sergey for help. I also supported him when he needed it. Now we see each other not so often, because we don't study together.
But we are still very good friends, that will never betray each other.
