What’s your best friend like?
My best friend’s name is Madison. She’s
13. We’re in the same class, and we
always sit together. She’s good at Maths
and helps me with my homework. She’s
got long fair hair and green eyes. Madison
is quite tall, and she’s got a lovely smile.
She’s very generous, and I can tell her all
my problems. We both love shopping and
sport... and fast food!

My best friend is Simon. He’s 12. He’s got
short dark hair, and he’s quite short. He’s got
a cheeky smile and he’s really funny. I love
his jokes! We don’t go to the same school,
but we hang out together at the weekends.
We’ve got the same interests. We both like
computer games, and we often listen to
music on the same mp3 player! Simon and I
only argue about one thing – football!
