1. What makes a true friend?

2. Amy is one of my true friends
A survey has revealed that you clock
up a staggering 363 friends during
your life but only six of them will be
your true friends!
So, what makes a true friend? Well,
Amy’s my best friend and I’d say
she’s definitely a true friend. I’ve
known her since my first day of
school, when I was five.
We’ve had our ups and downs but
after a good heart-to-heart we always
manage to patch things up. After all,
they do say that honesty is the best
policy!

3. We share the same taste in music and we both love to cook but she’d kill me if
I told you about all the disasters we’ve had in the kitchen!
If I had to sum her up in three words they would be, trustworthy, sensitive and
creative. I can always count on her to be there when I need her.

4. We’re similar in a lot of ways but
we’ve never been joined at the hip
like some of our other mates.
There’s nothing worse than
someone cramping your style,
even if it she is your best friend!
As for me, I think she’d say I’m
very caring and responsible, I’m
always the one dishing out advice.
What I love most about our
friendship is that we’re on the
same wavelength. Nineteen years
is pretty good going so it looks like
we’re in it for the long haul!
