2b
My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror.
I’m quieter and more serious than most kids.
That’s why I like reading books and I study
harder in class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet
too, so weenjoy studying together. I’m shy so it’s
not easy for me to make friends. But I think
friends are like books- you don’t need a lot of
them as long as they’re good.
It’s not necessary to be the same.
My best friend Larry is quite
different from me. He is taller
and more outgoing than me.
We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he
always wins. However, Larry often helps to bring out the
best in me. So I’m getting better at tennis. Larry is much
less hard-working, though. I always get better grades than
he does, so maybe I should help him more.
I don’t really care if my friends are
the same as me or different. My
favorite saying is. “ a true friend
reaches for your hand and touches
your heart.” My best friend Carol is really kind and very
funny. In fact, she’s funnier than anyone I know. I broke
my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better.
We can talk about and share everything. I know she cares
about me because she’s always there to listen.
