My Friend
I am a very sociable person, so I’ve got a lot of friends. We have common interests and we usually spend our spare time together: play volleyball, go to the discos, to the cinema or to the park. But besides I have my best friend, whom I trust, who gives me a hand of help when I need it, and who is proud of my success.
My friend’s name is Alex. We are classmates. He is tall, athletic, with short dark hair and brown eyes. My friend is a very interesting person. He reads a lot and always has an opinion of his own about anything.
Alex isn’t very fond of school and studying, but he is very keen on games. He is fond of football and tennis, but volleyball is his favourite sport. He wants to become a professional player. That’s why he spends a lot of time practicing and trying to improve his game.
Alex is a very reliable person. I can discuss with him everything that worries me. Alex takes things easier than I do and it let me see the other side of the situation.
In fact we have very much in common: similar goals in life, interests and problems. Of course we can have different opinions about things, we often argue but never quarrel.
I appreciate our friendship. I hope we’ll keep our friendship for life.

Friends Are Important
Friends are one of the most precious parts of our lives. They cheer us up when we feel down, share their secrets with us, and keep us company. Every friend is different, and that’s exactly what makes friendship so special.
With a friend, you can share your secrets and talk about school, future dreams, music, fashion, hobbies, and everything in between. With a friend, you never feel bored. You can laugh together, talk about anything, and share both joys and troubles.
A good friend is honest and kind. He/She is always ready to help when you need it, supports you in difficult times, and never lets you down. You can rely on him/her, trust him/her with your secrets, and know he/she will always listen. A true friend understands you better than anyone else, accepts you even when you are not easy to be with, and makes you feel happy and safe. A good friend may not be perfect, but he/she cares about you, respects you, and makes your life brighter. A friend like this is a treasure, someone who is proud of your success and always stands by your side.
Good friends treat each other with loyalty, honesty, and kindness. They listen, talk openly, and support each other through good times and bad. They create beautiful memories, celebrate achievements, and forgive mistakes. Most importantly, they can always be trusted to keep promises and to stand by you.
True friendship never includes betrayal, judgment, or jealousy. Friends don’t take advantage of one another, don’t gossip behind each other’s backs, and don’t try to control or manipulate. Instead, they choose trust, respect, and care.
Friendship makes life richer, warmer, and more meaningful. A real friend is not just someone you spend time with, he/she is someone who makes your world a better place.
