         Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted, we often don't clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people,    71     .

Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship” . In all cases ,two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that ,the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other change greatly.

At the beginning, much depends on how people meet ,and on good first impressions .As we get to know people,    72   . Although these factors are not of the greatest importance ,it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.

Then,     73   . Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary friends .Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness ,and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty making friends . A friendly look with a wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare ,and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness.

Some friendly relationships are a result of argument and discussion ,but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs , the same opinion and interests. The more closely involved people become ,the more they depend on each other. And     74   . Equally ,friends have to learn to make allowances for each other ,to put up with annoying habits ,and to accept differences in opinion.
