A good friend should be humorous. Nothing makes spending time together more fun than a friend who makes you laugh. My best friend is a funny girl. I feel happy when I listen to her talking. We laugh at the funny scenes in the films, we laugh at each other’s silly mistakes, and we laugh at ourselves as well. No true friendship can grow unless the people involved are able to laugh together.

Why we should try to use informal English instead of formal English
Informal English
Personal: uses the first person “I”
Emotional: allows for the display of true emotions
Using contractions and abbreviations
Simple: uses shorter or even incomplete sentences
Colloquial: uses informal words and slangs
withdraw

Dear Diary,
Friendship is very important to me. In my opinion, there are certain qualities that are very important in a friend.
First, a good friend should be humorous. Nothing makes spending time together more fun than a friend who makes you laugh. My best friend is a funny girl. I feel happy when I listen to her talking. We laugh at the funny scenes in the films, we
laugh at each other’s silly mistakes, and we laugh at ourselves as well. No true friendship can grow unless the people involved are able to laugh together.
Sample
Second, a close friend should also be trustworthy. A true friend has to be someone you can trust with your secrets. Whenever I feel low, my best friend has a way to break through my tears. She was the one I turned to when I got a low mark in Maths, when I lost the game in the school sports meeting, and when I had a big argument with my parents.
Finally, a true friend should be honest. A good friend must be able to tell you the truth not only when you are right, but also when you are wrong. Without this, the friendship will only ever exist on the surface and never develop a deeper meaning. In fact, I am glad that my friend can always point out what I have done wrong. I might be upset at first, but when I realize that she is like a mirror which honestly reflects my mistakes, I have to admit that this friendship makes me a better person.
Generally speaking, a true friend will have all three of these qualities. A friendship where both parties have all of these qualities will surely be a long-lasting relationship. It will enrich the lives of both friends.
Make keeping diary a habit, and after some time it will become a friend that you reach out to automatically.
