Could you introduce your best friend? Sample My best friend is Kate. She is a primary school teacher. She has a third grade class this year, with children who are eight or nine years old. She teaches maths and Chinese. She gives them a lot of work, but she tries to teach them good study habits. She also makes her lessons interesting.

Kate usually gets to school at 7:00 am. an hour before classes begin. She uses the extra time to prepare for her lessons. Sometimes students and their parents come to school early for conferences with Kate. This is one of the few occasions when Kate can meet with her students' parents, because most of them work when their children are in school. After class, Kate corrects the students' homework and prepares for the next day. She usually doesn't get away from the school until nearly 4:30 in the afternoon. She has a long day.

My Good friend Her students love her very much. We study English at BTVU Chaoyang Branch together. I am not good at English. If I have some trouble learning English, she will help me. She is always kind to everyone around her. Zhang Fang is also interested in music and sports. She can play the violin. Badminton is her favourite sport. At weekends we often play badminton together. I enjoy our friendship very much.
