[06:14.87]so we did many interesting things together.
[06:19.69]I:Do you have any close friends at the university?
[06:24.70]S:No, I think friendship takes time to develop.
[06:30.13]That's probably the main reason why I haven't made any more close friends here.
[06:36.54]I'm too busy studying and going to classes.
[06:41.47]I:Why do you think you became close friends with that particular girl,
[06:46.76]rather than other girls in your class?
[06:50.90]S:Well, it was due to a combination of factors. At the beginning,
[06:57.56]we were both chosen to represent our class in a speech contest,
[07:03.14]so we worked closely together.
[07:08.36]Then, I discovered that she was a very honest person
[07:13.30]and I think honesty is a very important aspect of friendship.
[07:19.42]I:Were there any other things that strengthened your friendship?
[07:24.38]S:Yes. We were both on the basketball team, so we spent hours practising together.
[07:32.92]Teamwork and cooperation certainly made us appreciate each other even more.
[07:40.15]We also took part in running races, she helped me a lot.
[07:45.55]She organized a singing contest and I did a lot of things for her.
[07:51.82]I think helping each other is another important aspect of friendship.
[07:57.22]I:Do you still see each other on a daily basis?
[08:02.15]S:No, unfortunately we aren't in the same city now.
[08:08.41]I passed the entrance examination, but she failed. We were terribly sad, at first.
[08:16.19]But we are still best friends and that will never change.
[08:21.91]I:How would you summarize the difference between a really close friend
[08:27.02]and other friends?
[08:30.98]S:It's a question of a process, depth, and openness. Like a flower,
[08:38.11]real friendship grows day by day.
[08:42.40]It needs many special ingredients to flourish.
