i think friendship is a feeling which can last forever. i am friends with a boy who lives next door. his name is daniel. in general he is very shy and brainy. i think daniel will never betray me. i make friends with daniel because we talk our problems through. besides, we have a good laugh together and have similar interests. we both like english and maths. as a friend he is loyal. we play computer games, go on a picnic together, ride a bike, play football and swim in the river. daniel is my best friend.
