You can appreciate or admire someone, but that doesn't make them a friend. If their attitude is "for better or worse," if they stick with you through thick and thin, that's when you can tell it's friendship.

【正确答案】[参考范文]
As a Chinese saying goes, to own one bosom friend is enough. Fortunately, I have one. I and my friend grew up together in the village. I was a little ambitious girl and she was more humble and tender. When we were in primary school, I'd like to be a monitor of our class so I had a competition with the other classmates. Unfortunately, I failed. It was the first time that I had tasted failure. I felt I was unwelcome and frustrated. I almost isolated myself at the beginning with no talking and playing with other classmates.
However, my friend companied me all the time. She introduced classmates to me and cheered me up. Gradually, I built up my confidence again. I think that is what a real friend can do. We are still friends now and will be in the future.
