READING

"What Makes a Best Friend?"
I met my best friend, Sarah, when we were in middle school. At first, we didn’t talk much, but one day we worked on a school project together. We got to know each other, and soon we became close friends.

What I love most about Sarah is that she’s always there for me. Whenever I have a problem, she listens and gives me advice. She’s also very fun to be around. We share jokes, watch movies, and go to the park together.

Our friendship is special because we trust each other completely. I can tell her anything, and I know she won’t judge me. Even when we’re busy, we make time to talk or meet. Having a close friend like Sarah makes life so much better.
