Sample answer (read it aloud, then make it yours)

A good friend is loyal and honest. My best friend is Amit; we have known each other since class six. He is trustworthy: I can tell him anything and it stays with him. When I failed my first attempt at the bank exam, he did not give me a lecture. He sat with me and made a study plan. We do not talk every day now, because he works in another city, but when we meet, nothing has changed. That is friendship.
