I just want to ask for the best bitcoin wallet for the beginners. I mean the bitcoin wallet that is user-friendly,  easy to use and also very secure because I don't want to risk my coins just because of simplicity.
From my experience, the best bitcoin wallet is the local bitcoin wallet(https://localbitcoins.com/) because it has a lot of functions than the bitcoin blockchain wallet. With local bitcoin, you can buy and sell bitcoin with your local money or fiat currency. I started with the bitcoin blockchain wallet, I later abandon it for the local bitcoin because of functionality.
It is very secure and very easy to use.  

That's an exchange. Not a wallet, and if you're using it as such, don't. No control over your private keys / no control over your bitcoins.

I wonder why no one has mentioned Bitcoin Core yet? Is it because you need to sync up 140gb of data, which makes it a bit user-unfriendly compared to Electrum?

Anyway, you could use that aswell. It is a much better option than the LBC "Wallet". https://bitcoin.org/en/download
