FRIENDSHIP READING

READING

Great Mates
It’s good to have good friends in your life, but only one person can be your best friend.
My best friend is Marta. I love her very much because she is a very polite and
understanding person, so I can’t argue with her. When I feel bad, she always makes
jokes and makes me happy. I count on her because she is honest and she always keeps
my secrets. She is a bit stubborn, but I am a laid-back person so we get on well with
each other.
Marta and I share the same hobbies. We usually spend time together at the weekend.
We go to art exhibitions, see plays and sometimes play sports. Volleyball and
basketball are our favorites. We never watch a movie because we are interested in
di erent type of movies. She likes movies about space, astronauts and planets but I
like western movies.
