Question

Do you have any close friends? I think everybody at least has one close friend in their life. And so do I. I have two close friends, Mary and Susan. We are in the same class at primary school, and then secondary school. We are also neighbors in Manchester so we spend most of our time in learning and playing together. Mary is a beautiful girl with big blue eyes and an oval rosy face. She is an intelligent student who is always at the top of class. She likes reading, and she often goes to the library whenever she has free time. Susan isn’t as beautiful as Mary, but she has a lovely smile and looks very healthy. Susan is very sporty. She is interested in all kinds of sport and music. Her favorite group is U2, but her favorite singer is Bryan Adams. Sports View is her favorite TV program. She is a volleyball star of our school. She is also very sociable and has a great sense of humor. Her jokes always make us laugh. I love both of my friends and I always hope our friendship will never die.
