Every person needs a friend. Friends are very important in our life. I think you cannot live without friends. A friend is a person who is always there for you. Your close friend or best friend (BF as people call him or her) is a person whom you can trust with everything no matter what happens. Your true friend is always ready to help you, to support you if you do something wrong and to solve problems together with you. They say that "a friend in need is a friend indeed”. I think it is really so. A friend is someone whom you can call ten years after no calling at all and he or she will be glad to hear you. A friend respects your decisions and is sympathetic to you.

I can find way with people so I have a lot of aсquaintances but very few friends. I love my close friends and, I think, they love me too. My best friends are not my classmates and they are a little bit older than me.

I would like to tell you about my best friend Natalie. She is … years old. She is not my classmate as I have already told. We have known each other for ... years already. We live in one block of apartments. Our parents are friends too. She has very good relations with her parents.

I think, Natalie is a pretty girl. We are not alike. Her appearance is different. She is rather tall and slim. She has oval face and straight dark brown hair. Her nose is straight. She has very beautiful grey eyes with thick eyelashes. Natalie has a perfect smile. Everybody calls her "a sun”. Natalie wears glasses.

My best friend is a very kind, good and sympathetic person. She is always ready to help people around her. She is quiet, gentle and well-bred. But at the same time she is very funny and has good sense of humour. She knows a lot of jokes and funny interesting stories.

Natalie is the only child in her family. Nevertheless she is not selfish.

She is always well-dressed. Natalie prefers casual clothes – some jeans and a T-shirt. This style suits her a lot.

Natalie is a bright girl and doesn’t have problems with schooling. All the subjects seem to come easy to her. In class she is very attentive, we rarely talk to each other. She is good at social studies and history. She is also interested in music very much. She is also fond of reading books. She is extremely fond of doing sports. She plays table tennis and swims. Natalie is also a member of our school table tennis team.

Natalie is going to become a doctor. Our future professions are different (the same) and the subjects that we will study are different (the same) too. But we will keep seeing each other. I hope she will make a good doctor.

Natalie is the most wonderful person in the world. She thinks everything will be all right. She is always cheerful, energetic and full of life.

Natalie is very attentive to me. I can always count on her help. And usually I don’t have to say that something is wrong, she can see it in my eyes.

We spend much time together - go for a walk together discussing all sorts of things, go to the gym, do to concerts, cinemas, do shopping together, watch videos or listen to the music and chat, chat, chat. We always meet at the weekends. We have much in common. We both like psychology, dancing, English and sport.

Natalie has some weak points – drawbacks. She can be very stubborn sometimes. But still she is very pleasant to deal with. You know, I miss her very often. Our friendship helps me to be strong and feel sure. If there is any misunderstanding between us we try to make peace at once. We have very much in common so we quarrel very seldom, just no reason for it.

I am happy to have such a friend as Natalie. I am sure we shall be friends forever.
