2016年托福写作素材模板：维系老朋友的益处

　　素材段落

　　It is always a blessing for people to find someone whom they can count on in their greatest time of need. Old friends know us the best and they will never judge us and will accept us just for who we are. We can share the deepest secrets of our mind with those who we have known for decades. Sometimes even talking seems unnecessary since they can easily understand what we are thinking without saying a word. When hanging out with old friends, we do not have to choose our words meticulously and we can joke about our most embarrassing moments without the fear of being judged.
