I have met a lot of persons who are intelligent, kind-hearted and reliable... Each of them gave me a particular feeling. Frankly, I like the sense of humor of my close friend most. From my point of view, sense of humor is the fundamental factor to be a good friend due to the following reasons.

First and foremost, I can learn how to cleverly make other people happy and limit my downside from that characteristic of my best friend. Owning a big sense of humor, he always find out good aspects in bad circumstances. Keeping smile, he is ready to make a amazing story or idea to encourage other people properly and change their bad humor into good mood. His way to support others by his exciting stories and optimistic spirit has being taught me so much. Furthermore, I am a firm person and lack of humor. I always tended to raise the difficulty level of an issue and rarely smile. Being a close friend with him, I laugh more and be flexible and less fear when facing problems. So, personally I can benefit much from the characteristic of a sense of humor.

Next, based on his sense of humor, our friendship is being better and deeper. Whenever I have sadness, he always give me confident and fun by telling a funny story. He are willing to spend hours listening to me, then he tries to make my sadness become comical and amazing. For instance, one time I got a bad mark in history subject because I can not remember exactly the time of historical events. By exercising this attribute, he transferred all these event to a game by combining each event with a step in a game and adding some actors that makes it more interesting. That game is my favorite, so I can remember much easier. On the other hand, a sense of humor always helps our conversation full of laugh and fun. By raising or slow down his voice and utilizing some humorous examples, he can transform a tense discussion into a comfortable one.

I am so lucky because having a close friend with a big sense of humor. Such kind of personality teach me not only the necessary of laugh but also the way to change our temper. It is also a vital element to support my friendship.
