Suggested Answer:
As the saying goes “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”, which is partly true, but a real friend should also be able to share your happy moments --- without feeling jealous. A good friendship is one where you accept and forgive faults, understand moods, and don’t feel hurt if a friend doesn’t feel like seeing you. Of course, honesty is an essential part of any relationship. We should learn to accept our friends for what they are. Anyway, I consider friendship to be one of the most important things in life.
詞匯與解析：
WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS
1. essential adj. 本質的，實質的
2. forgive v. 原諒，饒恕
3. jealous adj. 妒忌的，嫉妒的
4. mood n 心情，情緒
答案解析：
考生開門見山地談了他對“友情”的理解，常言道：“ A friend in need is a friend indeed.” 患難朋友才是真正的朋友。當然，這在一定意義上是對的，副詞“partly” 的使用為下一步的陳述埋下了伏筆，考生順理成章地從不同角度闡明他對“友誼”的看法。真正的朋友會與你分享快樂時光，而沒有任何嫉妒。真正的友誼意味著你能容忍和原諒朋友的錯誤，理解對方的情緒;如果你的朋友不太想見你，你也不會感到受了傷害 (A good friendship is one where you accept and forgive faults, understand moods, and don’t feel hurt if a friend doesn’t feel like seeing you.)。
特別值得一提的是在答案的結尾有一個至關重要的句子 “… honesty is an essential part of any relationship.”，它高屋建瓴地概括了各種關系的內涵，它告誡我們只有以誠相待，才能建立真正的友誼。
不同的人交友的標準不同。我們交友時，通常會愿意選擇性格類似，而不是性格迥異的人，期望朋友間對待工作、學習和生活的態度有共同之處。真正的朋友能在你最困難的時候向你伸出援助之手，你愿意向他傾訴衷腸，他會給你提供寶貴的忠告和建議，他的心中時刻裝著你。
回答托福口語考試的“友誼”類問題時，可以合理發揮想象，充分發表自己平時對“友誼”的看法或者舉一些實例。
