READING
"Our Shared Classes"
This semester, my best friend and I have two classes together: history and English. Our history class is on Monday and Wednesday at 10 a.m., and English is on Friday at 2 p.m. We always sit next to each other during lectures and help each other with assignments.
In our history class, the professor tells us interesting stories about the past. My friend enjoys history, but I prefer English because I like reading and writing.
On Fridays, after our English class, we usually go to the library to study. We share notes and prepare for exams together. It’s always fun to have someone to work with because we can help each other understand difficult topics.
