My best friend
My name's John and my best friend is called Pamela. We met thirty years ago when we were both five years old. It was my first day at school and i was very unhappy because i wanted ny mother. Pamela gave me a sweet and we became friends immediately. We were toghther nearly every day until we left school twelve years later.
Then i went to university but Pamela didn't. She got married and haad three children. I studied for eight years because i wanted to be an accountant. I had a lot of new friends so i didn't see Pamela very often. Sometimes we didn't meet for months but we often talked on the phone.
