MY BEST FRIEND SELENA

Hi, my name is Tina. I am 20 years old and today I want to talk about my best
friend Selena. She is my classmate and she is 20 years old too. We study at the
Abertay University in Scotland. We study the same career and share the same
desk and love the same university subjects. Our favorite lessons are Philosophy
and Ethics. I am very good at tennis and she is very good at volleyball. She plays
volleyball at our university team. We both have a busy life. We always get up at
a half past six and at seven o’clock her father takes us to university by car. They
live next door to us, so after university we always do our homework, walk our
dogs and have dinner together. Our classes start at half past seven and finish at
2 p.m. Her mother is a nurse. My mother is a nurse too and they work at the same
hospital. Our fathers are both engineers but they work at different companies. On
Mondays, Selena has violin class and I have piano class. On Tuesdays and
Thursdays she practices volleyball at the university’s gym . Friday is my favorite
day because Selena stays overnight with us. On the weekends, we usually go to
the movie theater or have a picnic if the weather is good. I am the only girl, I don’t
have a sister but she is like a sister to me.
