writing test:How to write better paragraphs in explanation writing.

Writing test: What makes you a good friend.

Hi there,I'm gonna give you three ideas to help you remember how to be a good friend, in the three following  paragraphs. Please read through.

My first idea is  encouraging your friends,and what I mean by that is telling
them to push through and keep on trying. For an example,when your best
friend tries to learn how to volley and he/she gives up,you can help him/her by
 telling them to keep trying and push through. And that can show them that
your a good friend.

My second idea is to be there for your friends when they need someone to talk
to. Like, when they feel sad or angry, you can be a good friend by talking to
them and asking them questions like”why are you sad/angry” and telling them
that your here if they want to talk.

My last idea is helping your friends in school work. What I mean   is  
 that you explain to them how to  work out the answer. For an example,when
their struggling to work out the answer in maths, you can help them by asking
them questions”like whats 30% in fraction?” and when they understand how t
o work out the answer they will know that you’ve been a good friend to them
and that they should do the same.

There you have it, three ideas to help you remember how to be a good friend.
And  I would really appreciated it if you use one of those ideas to be a good
friend to your friends.
