My best friend's name is Maxim. He is kind and very cheerful. He has dark hair and blue eyes. Maxim is tall and strong, he is engaged in boxing. Maxim is very sociable and friendly, he has many friends. He always helps in a difficult moment, he does not when there is no serious. In the summer we walk in the woods with his dog named Graf. We like to go to the beach, we play volleyball and swim in a big lake. In winter we skate and ski and play snowballs. I appreciate this friend because he can be trusted and always happy with him.
