问题：Characteristics of friends;

　　参考回答：In my opinion a good friend should have the following qualities: confident and caring. As an only boy in my family, I rely on others very much. I need my friend to bring me confidence. Every time my friend appears in front of me, I hope he/she can bring a strong feeling of authority which makes me feel a definite sense of trust. Then he/she should be very caring. When I am suffering hard times, or confronting difficulties, he/she can give me a hand and help me overcome the troubles.
