My mother told me that a good friend is like a mirror. I am more calm and serious than ordinary children, which is why I like to read and study hard. My good friend is like this too, so we like to study together. I'm too shy to make friends. But I think friends are like books, you don't need a lot of them as long as they are good.

There is no need to be exactly the same. My best friend is nothing like me. He is taller and outgoing. We both like sports, but he is better at tennis, so he always wins. Yet he also helps me so I get better at tennis. He doesn't work very hard and I always get better grades than him, maybe I should help him a little more.

I don’t mind if my friends are like me or not. My favorite saying is that a good friend holds your hand and touches your heart. My best friend is kind and funny, in fact she's funnier than anyone I know. I hurt my arm last year and she made me laugh to make me feel better. We discuss and share everything together and I know she cares about me because she always listens.
