My best friend’s name is Larry. I suppose he is the funniest person I know. He is also one of the top students in our class. He is more creative than me though we both study hard. Talk shows are his favorite because they are educational. And maybe that’s why he always has a quick mind and can solve problems easily.
Friends are like books -- you don’t need a lot of them as long as they are good. As friends, the most important is to learn from each other and have fun together.
