You have to write about your best friend for homework. Remember in class we read this description?

A good friend

My cousin’s name is Darren. He’s fourteen and he lives near me in Darlington.

Darren is a good friend. I like him because he’s funny. We sometimes disagree – he likes

hip hop, but I hate it.

I often go to Darren’s house. We sometimes watch TV together. I like going to the sports centre

with him. We play basketball and tennis.

Here is another description:

My best friend’s name’s Maureen. She’s from Glasgow, in Scotland. She’s 14 years old and her birthday is in January. She’s not very tall. She’s got brown hair and blue eyes. She’s got two brothers but she hasn’t got a sister. Her brothers are ten and five years old. At home she has got a dog called Max.

Her favourite hobbies are going to the cinema with her friends and listening to music. Her favourite film is Starsky and Hutch, probably because Owen Wilson is her favourite actor. She’s is not very interested in football or other sports.
