Writings:
Draft 1: Friendship is based on setting of positive feelings that result in an
affinity between two people. It involves a series of experiences that help us to
consolidate an empathy that increases through the treatment. For these reasons,
it is important to be clear about what factors can help us maintain a friendship
for many years.

When we find someone compatible with our same convictions, likes, fanaticisms,
beliefs and other things that allow us to have a pleasant conversation. Likewise,
hours pass without us noticing, between laughter and interesting comments,
saying interesting comments and good jokes make pass the hours go very
quickly.

There must be stability in the relationship. Visiting each other is very important,
and not abandoned your friend for long periods of time go by that end up turning
us into strangers. Furthermore, the only way to develop a lasting friendship is
through the understanding that we must be willing to help our vulnerable friend
in a selfless way. Not for profit or anything like that. So, it is remaining to say
that friends are of vital importance for the development of man. They contribute
to their stability and improving they to develop themselves in society.

In conclusion, in order we’re seeking friendships that last and that we can enjoy
all our lives, there must be common tastes, selflessness, knowledge, gratitude,
trust and loyalty. These are some of the bases for a constructive relationship
that will help us grow as a person.

Dear Juan,

This is a good paragraph, though, remember that when it is an essay, you should
not use contractions. Good job!

Draft 2: Not all of us have the same way to study because I have some friends
that prefer to study in a quiet place like a library and a few of the other part of
people are used to studying with music or a great deal of noise, however we
have to take in count many recommendations to improve or refine our studying
habits.

One of these is to stay away from your phone, everyone has a cellphone but
when we have to study, we should leave it in a place where we couldn’t see it to
be concentrate in our work. In some cases, people use their cellphones to find or
search orientation, for this occasion they should stay away from the social
media to avoid have a bit of trouble with the time to study. Both aspects could
work for any kind of people.

Several good friends told me that is good to join a group to study, it could work
to share and find information or ideas to do a better job, that’s little but
functional way to do a precise job.

Ultimately, I have a couple of ways more to share to you. This two aren’t relevant
but are important if you study for lots of hours. First, allocate your notes to could
have an idea of what you have to do in order and without make a mess. And
second you should take a break to rest and stop thinking in every problem you
have.
