马上就要口语考试了。。。很急！！

When choosing a friend, I put emphasis on sincerity. A true friend is someone who can tell me what I have done right or wrong at all times. He has nothing to hide from me. He understands what I expect from him. So when I have done something good, he is proud of me. When I have done something stupid, he tells me I should not do it again.

Assume one day he says something mean about me. And you know I really get burned. I almost feel like ending the friendship. But surprising to me, he comes to me and tells me how sorry he is. He says he has hesitated many times over before his ego gives in. He also tells me that the incidence has been caused by something mean I said about his pet. He demands an apology from me as well, which I gladly comply.

You got my point: sincerity should come hand in hand with courage. Courage to repair and maintain the friendship. Setbacks are inevitable in any relationship. What's important is the courage and determination to overcome
