I have a close friend, and we have been friends since we were only 4 years old. Her name is Ly, and she is one of the most active girls in our class. She has an athletic body with tanned skin, and her hair is a bit brown because she usually participates in outdoor activities without wearing a hat. We attended in the same class in kindergarten, elementary school, secondary school, and we are still classmates at the moment. I am a small girl and a little bit shy while Ly is a strong and very outgoing person. Once I was bullied by a classmate, Ly was the one who protected me and reported everything to the teacher. Our houses are quite far from school, so we have to go to school very early. Every morning I would stop by Ly’s place to pick her up, but later Ly is the one who take me to school on my bike. Ly is very good at sports, and she is a prominent member of our school’s basketball team. However, Ly's studying achievement is not really good. Sometimes, she forgets to do her homework because she has to practice for an upcoming basketball game. At those times, I am always the one to remind her, and I am always enthusiastic about being Ly’s tutor. After a period of studying together, I finally help Ly achieve a better performance in class, and in return she instructs me to take part in some sports activities so that I can improve my health. Now Ly is a pretty girl with long hair and big eyes, but her temper is still as vibrant and strong as when she was young. I feel like we are two pieces in a puzzle, and it seems that we can always balance the other’s shortcomings. We have been friends for a long time, so it can be totally said that we have grown up together. Ly is a very good friend, and I hope we will always be together for a long time.
