Hi Mark, how are you? I haven't heard from you for some time. I hope you are doing fine. You asked me about my friends. I have two good friends. Nick and Sasha are my classmates and best friends. They are quite different. Nick is calm and slow, but he is smart at Maths and Chemistry. He is not very good at sports but he is our school champion in chess. Sasha is just the opposite. He is very good at sports. He is the best long-distance runner at school. But he is not good at other subjects. And he especially hates Chemistry and Biology. Both of them are very good friends. I can rely on both of them though they have different traits of character. Nick is more predictable and helpful. He is also kind-hearted and it is his main feature. Sasha's main trait of character is readiness to do things quickly, he is very spontaneous. Though I like people who think before they do something, being quick in making decisions is also important. Also it is good to have friends who can keep a secret. I am sure that laziness and lying are bad traits of character. I am lucky not to have friends with such traits. What do you think about all this? I hope to hear from you soon. Write about your friends. Bye, Dima.
