The qualities to be a nice friend

Everyone wants to have a best friend. Then, what qualities are needed to be a good friend? Each person answers differently, but here\'s my opinion. First, to be a great friend, you should listen to your friend carefully. Listening is more important than speaking. If you listen to your friend sincerely, your friend will think that you respect him or her. Second, you should have the ability to sympathize with your friend. Sympathizing with your friend would help you to keep a friendship. It is related to listening skills. If you don\'t listen to your friend carefully, sincere sympathy will become impossible. Lastly, you should have similar interests with your friend. If you don\'t have similar concerns with your friend, it is hard to understand your friend. Those three things that I suggest seem easy to be a nice friend. However, it takes a lot of effort to be the best friend of someone.
