I’d like to talk about one of my classes friends, Yon, in Washington for about 6 years now. We first met when I started school at a relatively deep and better area. He happened to be one of my classmates, so we naturally started spending time together and over the years, that casual friendship gradually developed into a fairer toast one. In terms of our personalities, I think we have quite a lot in common. one thing, we can both be quite focused when we need to take something seriously, whether we’re studying, talking to a teacher or discussing an important issue. At the same time, when we’re around people we’re comfortable, we’re comfortable with, we can be quite talkative and playful. I think that’s one of the reasons we should remain close, because we understand when it’s appropriate to be serious and when we can simply relax and have love together. That’s a, we’re actually quite different in terms of our social personalities. E1 is naturally extroverted. He can strike up a conversation with almost anyone and seems to have endless energy when he’s around other people. I’m much more introverted by comparison. I don’t mind socializing, but I tend to run out of energy quite quickly, especially in a lot of groups. In a way, though, I think our differences actually complement each other. he can encourage me to be more sociable, while I sometimes help him slow down and think things through. These days, we go to different high schools, so we don’t see each other as often as we used to, and we’re not particularly active on social media either. We rarely text just to chat. Except whenever we meet face to face, we usually spend hours catching up on what’s been happening in our lives, especially our experiences at school, our interests, and other things that have happened recently. I think that’s what I enjoy the most, what our friendship. We don’t have to tell every day to remain close, and whatever we do with, the conversation still is completely natural, as if we had only seen each other yesterday.

I'd like to talk about one of my closest friends, Yon, whom I have known for about 6 years now. We first met when I started school at a relatively deep and better area. He happened to be one of my classmates, so we naturally started spending time together, and over the years, that casual friendship gradually developed into a much stronger one. In terms of our personalities, I think we have quite a lot in common. For one thing, we can both be quite focused when we need to take something seriously, whether we're studying, talking to a teacher, or discussing an important issue. At the same time, when we're around people we're comfortable with, we can be quite talkative and playful. I think that's one of the reasons we have remained close, because we understand when it's appropriate to be serious and when we can simply relax and have fun together. That said, we're actually quite different in terms of our social personalities. He is naturally extroverted. He can strike up a conversation with almost anyone and seems to have endless energy when he's around other people. I'm much more introverted by comparison. I don't mind socializing, but I tend to run out of energy quite quickly, especially in large groups. In a way, though, I think our differences actually complement each other. He can encourage me to be more sociable, while I sometimes help him slow down and think things through. These days, we go to different high schools, so we don't see each other as often as we used to, and we're not particularly active on social media either. We rarely text just to chat. However, whenever we meet face to face, we usually spend hours catching up on what's been happening in our lives, especially our experiences at school, our interests, and other things that have happened recently. I think that's what I enjoy the most about our friendship. We don't have to talk every day to remain close, and whenever we do meet, the conversation still feels completely natural, as if we had only seen each other yesterday.
