Friends make our lives happier

I was given this specific topic to write a 180-word-article in my writing class and it should be done in 35 minutes. That's why I can't deny this article isn't well-written, but I want to share this with those who are learning English like me. I think it'd be quite helpful for FCE students in particular.
 

Friends make our lives happier

Can you imagine that there's no friend around you to talk with about your happiness and sadness? You must feel very lonely! We all need good friends.

Then, how can we make friends? Is there any answer?
Yes, the answer is actually very simple. If you want to be someone's friend, be their friend first! I mean you can talk to them first and find out what both of you have the same interest in. Then, you'll see that you're already been their friend.

However, we sometimes have different opinions from your friends'. Don't worry about that! As we are all different, it's more natural to think differently. Indeed, it can be a good opportunity to see things in other people's view and learn why they think like that. We don't need to agree on everything just because we are friends.

Nobody can deny that friendship is one the the most important values in our lives, because our friends make our lives a lot happier. For that reason, we love to make new friends and listen to their different opinions!
