Question of the week: What makes a good friend?
Ali: For me, a good friend is honest. My friend Mert always tells me the truth, even when it is hard. That's why I can trust him.
Pelin: I think a good friend backs you up. When some people laughed at my new haircut, my friend Sena stood next to me and said, "It looks great!"

A Misunderstanding
Ece and Aslı are close friends. They usually walk to school together. One day, Ece told Aslı a secret: she wanted to join the school choir, but she was nervous about it. The next day, everybody in the class knew about it. Ece was very upset. She thought Aslı shared her secret, so she didn't talk to Aslı for two days.
Then their classmate Deniz explained the truth: he heard Ece and Aslı's conversation in the corridor and told the others. Ece apologised to Aslı. "I'm sorry. I didn't trust you," she said. Aslı smiled and said, "It's OK. True friends talk about their problems." Now they are closer than before.
