I would like to talk about Phuong Hao, a former classmate from secondary school and a close friend. She is very pretty and cute, with a cheerful personality that's hard to resist. We usually meet for coffee or go to see fireworks in the park whenever we have free time. I first met her on the first day of secondary school when we were in the same class. At that time, I was a little shy, but she was so friendly and warm that it didn't take long for us to become good friends. When we meet, we often talk about our studies and daily life. She is someone I truly value, and I always enjoy spending time with her. I feel so grateful to have someone like her in my life, and I always cherish the time we spend together.
