Hi, I’m Julie and my best friend is Hanna, we are always together. We are both 13 years old and we are in
the same class. Hanna lives in the same street as me and we
like to spend our free time together. When we have a break in

and chat. We always walk home together and talk about our
homework. When I am doing my homework and I don’t
understand a question, I often call Hanna for help and we do it
together. After we have finished our homework, we always chat
on the computer before we go to bed. We never go to sleep
without speaking.
At the weekends, we usually go to the mall, Hanna always
wants to go shopping but I often like to do other things, like
skating or going to the cinema. We plan our day together and
rarely disagree. She often sleeps over on Saturdays, we watch
TV or a film together and we usually eat popcorn or sometimes
we have a pizza.
We both like to wear casual clothes, jean and t-shirts, and sometimes we swop clothes. If I want to wear
some jeans, I often borrow a t-shirt from Hanna because she has some cool clothes. She never complains and
she often borrows my caps.
Hanna has a little brother, Charlie who nine years old. Sometime he can be annoying and he takes her
things without asking her. I don’t have any brothers or sisters so Hanna is like my sister. Our parents often say
