This writing is about my best friend, Mai. We go to the same school and we`ve been together for three years, Mai is very pretty. She has short black hair and big brown eyes. She is clever and hard-working but she is also very funny. She makes jokes and we all laugh. She loves reading and writing short poems, I like being with her. We often do our homework together and she helps me a lot. I also like her because she knows a lot about astronomy and we can chat about it for hours. At the moment we’re making a Space minibook. We`re doing a lot of searching on the Internet. This Saturday we`re going to the National Museum to take some photos for our project. Then we`re watching a new film on the Disney channel together. It`s going to be fun!

On Sunday, I am going to work out, and my sister is going to browse (surf) the internet. After that, we are going to rent a video CD and spend the evening watching it at home. It`s going to be fun!
