TOEFL_ writing practice : a reliable friend

아직도 한시간이 걸린다.  이블린 킴 선생님의 "30분만에 써내야 한다."는 말이 계속 마음에 남는다. 써내야 한다. How...
Q. What do you want most in a friend - someone who is intelligent, or someone who has a sense of humor, or someone who is reliable? Which one of these characteristics most important to you? Use reasons and specific examples to explain your choice.
10:57- 11:50
People look for friends who are in mutual interest or benefit them when they need. However, it cannot be the necessary condition of being a friend. Also,we can make friends with a variety of characteristics but the ones who are not reliable cannot be a real friend. Namely friends for lifetime should be reliable. Trust is the most important virtue of relationship between all the people as well as friends because it keeps the relationship firmly and help people overcome their hardship.

 To begin with, no matter what situations I have gone through, a reliable friend will be together and support me. Actually this belief that he or she will be with me forever is based on the trust regardless of who the friend is.  While they have gotten along with for a long time, naturally it has been built up. None of scientists can explain precisely how the kind of strong band was established or what backgrounds affect them to trust each other. However, there is one thing for sure that friends based on trust don’t forsake their friends in any difficulty even at the moment when everyone abandons them.  
On the top of that, the friends who can trust in lead us to a right way. They are the ones who are willing to advice us the right things at any given moment. From my personal experience, I was in trouble because I made a big mistake. I couldn't tell even my parents it because i was afraid of disappointing them. At that time one friend came in my mind and I turned to her to confess my fault. She didn't judge what I committed  Instead she comported me that everyone makes mistake at least once or more in their life. And she encouraged me with her truly warm and honest advice that an important thing is not to do again the same thing. Unless I had the friend who can tell honestly what I did wrong, I might intend to hide it into my deep soul and eventually it would hurt somebody else and even spoil me. I could be free from my fault because of the true friend.
Someone said having one friend who is reliable is the same as having a whole world. How awesome having a true friend who is always standing on my side and walking together on the same road is! Therefore, a reliable friend is the friend for lifetime.
