My friend.
My best friend's name is Susan. She is twelve years old. We live in the neighbouring houses and play in the same yard. We are classmates. So we can see each other every day,
Susan is a slim and pretty girl. She is not very tall. She has got long dark curly hair, blue eyes and a straight nose. Susan is kind and careful. She is always ready to help me if I need it. She is very good at Maths, so we often do our homework in Maths together.
Susan is always honest with her parents, teachers and friends. She loves animals. There is a cat in her house and Susan takes care of him.
We spend a lot of time together. We go to school and come back home together; we go to the cinema at the weekend together, too. In the evening, we often phone each other. I am happy that I have got such a nice friend as Susan.
