But we must also think how to keep friendship going because good friends are easier lost than found. I have lots of friends around me. They make my life more interesting and enjoyable. Now I'd like to tell you about my best friend Olga. She is my classmate and lives next door to me. Olga is a pretty girl. She is thin, slender and stylish. She has got lovely dark hair, blue eyes with long lashes and a straight nose. Her skin is fine. She usually wears sweaters with knee-length skirts or trousers. Olga is an active and energetic person. She can't bear just sitting around doing nothing. It makes her impatient and restless. She knows what she wants, and I think she is sure to achieve her goal. Olga is hardworking, organized and does well at school. She is a kind of person who always knows how to have a good time. Olga has a good sense of humour and never looks moody. She enjoys being the centre of attention while I am always nervous in public. I can't say I'm passive, but still I'm different. My problem can be summarized in the words: lack of confidence. I'm shy with other people who may think I'm boring and stupid sometimes. Lack of confidence also makes me indecisive: I trying to make up my mind what to do about quite simple things. Unlike my friend I'm disorganized and sometimes absent-minded. I'm hardworking too especially when I'm doing something I'm interested in. But if you compare Olga and me, my friend is more mature for her age physically, emotionally, intellectually. We both like reading fiction, exploring the city, its streets, churches and museums. We spend much time together, help each other to do our homework, go to the cinema, walk in the park, exchange books. I respect my friend for her strong will, cheerful and kind character, her intellect and modesty. She is always full of ideas and knows what and how to do it. It's very pleasant to be with her around.
