英语开头段，开头段是非常重要的，一定要语言简练，切记一定要直接切入主题（有些同学在写开头段时迟迟不切入主题，会影响改卷老师对这篇作文的印象，或许还会认为你写的跑题），而且开头段一般不进行具体的论述。下面是一篇友谊经常被比作一朵花英语作文，仅供参考：
There is an old saying in China： Although there are brothers，they are not as good as friends。Making friends is a great pleasure in life。
In the special life stage of middle school，due to the inner awakening，we often have a sense of loneliness，more than ever，we need friendship to comfort our hearts。
Friends are easy to make，but it＇s hard to maintain friendship。Small things can also destroy friendship，so we should take good care of the flowers of friendship。
First，treat each other sincerely，be honest and share。The interaction between classmates is really a touchstone。Some people say that the friendship between classmates is the purest and most precious friendship in the world。
But this kind of friendship can not be established in one day or two days。It is like a flower in a greenhouse。It needs us to use sincere water to irrigate and protect it。If we are a little careless，it may lose its luster and wither。
Sincerity is simple。It doesn＇t need to be impassioned or flowery。What is it？It＇s the thrill when you and I received a postcard from a friend many years later。
Second，learn to understand and tolerate。As classmates and friends，we should learn to understand。Students，friends encounter setbacks，depression，depression，he needs a vent object。
Listening patiently is a great understanding of friends。In the process of listening，I often insert one or two emotional words of comfort to guide him out of trouble and unhappiness。As classmates and friends，we should also learn to be tolerant。
Third，communication should be measured。Only by grasping the moderate degree can the friendship between students become eternal。
Only by grasping the scale of communication between classmates and friends can we establish a healthy，pure and elegant friendship。What＇s more，distance is also a kind of beauty。
In this way，from meeting to separation between classmates and friends，we can achieve the artistic conception of indescribable and unfulfilled feelings，and then we will be happy because of his arrival and miss because of his departure。
Fourth，say no boldly。It＇s normal for students and friends to trust each other。But sometimes things go beyond your principles and objective reality。In the face of this situation，say no decisively。
In a word，as long as we treat people sincerely and grasp them correctly，friendship will last for a long time；on the contrary，friendship will be short－lived and fleeting。Let＇s wish our friendship last forever！

中国有句老话：虽有兄弟，不如友生。结交朋友，实乃人生一大乐事。处在中学特殊的人生阶段，由于内心的觉醒，我们时常会有一种孤独感，比任何时候都需要友情来宽慰自己的心灵。
朋友是容易交的，保持友谊却很难，小事也能破坏友谊，所以我们要细心呵护友谊之花。
其一，真心相待、诚信与共。同学之间的交往，真是一块试金石。有人说，同学之间的友谊是天底下最纯洁、最珍贵的情谊。
但这种友谊并非一天两天就能建立起来的，它好比温室中的鲜花，需要我们用真诚之水用心浇灌、呵护，稍有不慎，它就有可能立即失去光彩，枯萎凋谢。真诚是朴实的，它不需要慷慨激昂，也不需要华丽的辞藻，那它是什么？它是多年以后你我收到友人的明信片时的那份激动。
其二，学会理解与宽容。作为同学、朋友，我们要学会理解。同学、朋友遇到挫折、苦闷、压抑时，他需要一个发泄情感的对象。耐心地倾听是对朋友莫大的理解。在倾听过程中，不时插上一两句富有情感的安慰话，引导他走出烦恼与不快的泥泞。作为同学和朋友，我们也要学会宽容。
其三，交往要有度。把握适中的度，才能使同学间的友谊成为永恒。只有把握好同学、朋友交往的尺度，才能建立起健康、纯洁、高雅的友谊。更何况距离也是一种美。这样，同学、朋友之间从相逢到分离，才能达到意犹未尽，情犹未了的意境，才会因他的到来而欣喜，因他的离别而思念。
其四，要大胆说不。同学和朋友之间常有事相托，这是正常的。但有时事情超出你的原则范围和客观现实，面对这种情景，要果断地说不。
总之，只要我们真诚待人，正确把握，友谊就会长久；反之，友谊则如昙花一现，稍纵即逝。让我们一起祝愿友谊地久天长吧！
