（1）.My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror.（2）我比大多数的孩子更安静、更认真。That's why I like reading books and I study harder in class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet, too, so we enjoy study together.（3）.I am shy so it's not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends are like books—you don't need a lot of them as long as they are good.
It's not necessary to be the same.（4）.我最好的朋友拉里与我不相同。He is taller and more outgoing than me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins.（5）.However, Larry helps to bring out the best in me. So I'm getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard-working, though. I always get better grades than he does, so maybe I should help him more.
