Jeff Green: My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror. I’m quieter and more serious than most kids. That’s why I like reading books and I study harder in class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too, so we enjoy studying together. I’m shy so it’s not easy for me to make friends. 3.But I think friends are like books—you don’t need a lot of them as long as they’re good.
Huang Lei: It’s not necessary to be the same. My best friend Larry is quite different from me. He is taller and more outgoing than me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins. 4.However, Larry often helps to bring out the best in me. So I am getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard-working, though. I always get better grades than he does, so maybe I should help him more.
Mary: I don’t really care if my friends are the same as me or different.
