My good friend Laura is my cousin. She is one year older than me. She is more hard-working and she usually gets (good) grades than me in the tests. Both of (we) like reading and swimming. Though we have same hobby, we have some differences. For example, she is more outgoing and enjoys (tell) jokes. What's more, she has a great talent for singing. She wants to be a famous singer. So she decides (practice) singing every day. She often sings in (show) and I have watched her sing many times. We talk everything together and always share our happiness and sadness（悲伤）with each other. My favorite saying is, "A true friend reaches for your hand touches your heart. " Laura is a friend like this.
Laura also studies photography（摄影）in her free time, so she is(real) busy. She has taken a lot of wonderful photos. Last year, she(win) first prize in the city photo competition. I am lucky that I have such a good friend.
