Hi my name is Jessica, I am sixteen years old. I have a lot of friends. But I also have my very bosom friend – that’s Alyssa. She is also sixteen. She isn’t very tall but she is pretty in her own way. She has blond hair, grey eyes and beautiful smile.

I like Alyssa because she is very kind, jolly. We have so much fun together. She does well at her college but she has an unbreakable rule: never study at night no matter how many written reviews are coming in the morning.

She is very fond of music. She has a bunch of CD’s at home and she listens to music all day long. She goes in for sports; she is a cheer leader in her college’s football team. Alyssa is an extraordinary person and I like that, she is very amusing. She thinks everything is funny; she is a sunny soul by nature.

She has a small family – just her mom, dad, and herself. They live in a white brick two storied house with a pool on the back side. Her parents are very nice people. Alyssa has a boyfriend Kyle who is seventeen and a very good friend of mine.

Alyssa and I are very good friends indeed and we help each other in every situation we get to.

I am Daniel. My best friend’s name is Frank. We made friends a few years ago. We are of the same age. We live not far from each other on the same street. I can see him almost every day.

Frank is a tall slender boy. He has dark hair, dark large eyes, a straight nose and thin lips. He is a nice guy. He is very honest and just, understanding and quiet. I trust him a lot and I am sure I can rely on him in any situation. He is very responsible. He finishes whatever he starts.

Frank has a little brother who goes to the Elementary school. Their parents love them a lot. His dad is a lawyer; his mom is a dance teacher. They are great people.

Frank and I have girlfriends and we like to spend time together. We go to the movies theatre, clubs or just walk in the center of our city.
