Let me tell you about my best friend. His name is Jeff and we met in high school, very used to be classmates. Jeff is my best friend because I can really count on him. He is the person I trust most. He is extremely considerate. He is very thoughtful. He always cares about other people. He often get together. We often get together to play basketball. We hang out on the weekend, we have a lot of things in common. We both like sports, we both love to watch the NBA and especially the Houston Rockets. We sometimes play online games too or watch movies together. Jav is a very good listener. He is very enthusiastic and always optimistic. Whenever I have a problem at school, he is always there to cheer me up. He is fun to be with. Last year we had to study hard for the college entrance examination and he helped me with the science subjects. He is a hardworking student and he can be serious too because he wants to become a lawyer and he knows what his priorities are.
