My Best Friend (Title)
I have a lot of friends in my school, but Dinda has been my best friend since junior high school.
We don’t study in the same class, but we meet at school everyday during recess and after school. I
first met her at junior high school orientation and we’ve been friends ever since. (Identification)
Dinda is good-looking. She’s not too tall, with fair skin and wavy black hair that she often puts in
a ponytail. At school, she wears the uniform. Other than that, she likes to wear jeans, casual t-shirts
and sneakers. Her favourite t-shirts are those in bright colors like pink, light green and orange. She
is always cheerful. She is also very friendly and likes to make friends with anyone. Like many other
girls, she is also talkative. She likes to share her thoughts and feelings to her friends. I think that’s
why many friends enjoy her company. However, she can be a bit childish sometimes. For example,
when she doesn’t get what she wants, she acts like a child and stamps her feet.
Dinda loves drawing, especially the manga characters. She always has a sketchbook with her
everywhere she goes. She would spend some time to draw the manga characters from her
imagination. Her sketches are amazingly great. I’m really glad to have a best friend like Dinda.
