My mother told me that a good friend is like a mirror. I am more quiet and steady than most children. So I like reading and study harder in class. My best friend Ethan is also very quiet, so we like to study together. I am shy, so it is not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends are like books-you don't need a lot, as long as they are good.

There is no need (to be friends). My best friend Larry and I are very different. He is taller and more outgoing than me. We all like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins. However, Larry often helps me show my best. So I play tennis better. However, Larry doesn't study hard. My grades are always better than his, so maybe I should help him more.

I really don't care whether my friends are the same as me or different. My favorite famous saying is: "A true friend is someone who can help you and touch your heart." My best friend Carol is really nice and interesting. In fact, she is more interesting than anyone I know. My arm was broken last year, but she made me happy and made me feel much better. We can talk and share everything. I know she cares about me because she is always there to listen.
