Mary is tall and beautiful. She has long curly brown hair and brown eyes. We are in the same school and she lives not far from my home. We often go home together. After school we also spend some time together. Because I'm better at math and science and she is better at history and geography, we can always help each other with our homework.

My friend is not very sporty. She doesn't like team games(团队运动)but she likes swimming. I like sports and we go swimming together every Saturday morning.

How to find and keep your friendship
Every one of us,rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. Your friends will listen to you when you speak, will take care of you when you are sick,and will be together with you in your journey through life. Everyone needs friends. Friendship can make us happier.
How can we find a good friend and get on well with each other? Here is some advice.
★Make friends with a person who is easy to get along with.
★You should make friends with a person who has something in common with you. If you have something in common with your friend,you will be interested in talking with him or her.
★Give your friend a hand when he or she is in trouble. Friends should always be ready to help each other.
★Believe in each other. This is the most important thing in a friendship.
★Even the best friends may have a quarrel (争吵) sometimes.If this happens,don't let your quarrel last too long. Try to make up with (和好) your friends soon.
Friendship is a kind of treasure in our life. It is like a bottle of wine(酒),because the longer it is kept,the better it will be.
