Many people often lose their friends and they don’t know how to keep a long friendship.So how can you keep a long friendship？The following passage explains very well about this matter.
The first thing you need to do is become a good listener.In this way，you show your friends that you are interested in their lives.You want to know more about them and you want to help them solve their problems.They will cherish the friendship more if they know you care about them.
The next thing is that you should respect other people’s privacy.People usually don’t like others to know about their private life，so you should show respect toward their privacy.Sometimes，they need some suggestions from others，but this does not mean that others can know about their entire life.So respect for privacy is a must for keeping a long friendship.
The third important thing is that you need to be able to forgive.You must remember that nobody is perfect in this world.It is important to forgive others and not to blame them for the mistakes they have already made.You are not perfect either.Thus you need to apologize to others for the mistakes you may have made.
Pay attention to the three things above，and you will be able to have long friendships.

Senior year is supposed to be the best year of my high school life.But for a while，it seemed like the most stressful.At the beginning of the school year，I knew that I was going to have to pick a college and a major，and I thought that I was going to major in journalism (新闻学)．I had already taken many college tours.But one day I thought about it and asked myself，“Do you really want to be a journalist？Do you really enjoy writing that much to make it your career？”
I didn’t know the answers to my own questions，and I felt lost.My college research had focused on journalism.Now that I doubted my major，I began to doubt the colleges as well.I feared that all that time spent visiting colleges was then a waste.
After realizing this，I started to get really stressed.My friends kept telling me what they wanted to be and which college they wanted to go to.It seemed as though everyone had their lives planned out while I was still not certain what my major would be.
One day in October，I was on the train with some friends and they were all discussing their dream colleges and how eager (渴望的) they were for the majors they chose.One of my friends told us that she had known she wanted to do nursing since her sophomore (高中二年级的) year.I felt jealous—I wasn’t even thinking about the college two years ago.Then someone asked me，“Mel，what college do you want
