Betty
I want to tell you about my friend Betty. She is as slim as I am. She has short hair. She is one of my best friends.
Betty is generous. She is willing to share things with her friends. She is also very helpful and is ready to help people any time.She helps me with my homework and when she is on the bus, she always gives her seat to someone in need.
Betty wants to be a singer and travel around the world when she grows up. Betty and I may not get to see each other often, but we will always be best friends.
Max
I have a wonderful friend named Max. He is very tall—almost 1.75 metres. He is the tallest boy in my class. However, he has poor eyesight because of working on the computer too much at night. He wears small, round glasses and they make him look smart.
Max has a good sense of humour. I never feel bored or unhappy when he is with me.He tells funny jokes and always makes me laugh.
His legs are very long and they do not fit under the school desks. He can walk fast but when he walks past the desks, he often knocks our books and pens off the desks. He is so funny!
May
I thought of my good friend May when I read your advertisement. She is shorter than I am and is very small. She has straight, shoulder-length hair. Everyone thinks she is pretty.
May is a ture friend. When something worries me, I can always go to her. I can tell her anything because she can keep a secret.
She is kind and never says a bad word about anyone.
