“If you are looking for a friend who is faultless, you will be friendless.’’ Some of our friends come into our
lives and stay forever. They are like our sisters and brothers. We sometimes argue but most of the time we
get on well with each other. I have got a lot of great buddies. They are Elenor ,Melinda and Tina. Elenor
never tells lies and always keeps our secrets so we always count on her. But she is a bit shy. Melinda and I
share the same interests, we like spending time together. She always backs me up when I need her. Tina’s
style attracts many teenagers’ attention. She is really impressive. She always shares her things with me. If
you are a true friend , you will have true friends.

B) Daily Routines of Frank

Hello. My name is Frank. I’m 14 years old and a student in 8th grade. On weekdays, I get up at 7:30. I wash
my hands and face before I have breakfast with my family. I go to school at 8:40. I like listening to pop,
rock and Indian music on the school bus. I think they are energetic and harmonic. After school, I like
reading books. I prefer reading detective and gothic books because I think they are exciting and impressive.
I don’t like biographical or travel books. To me they are unbearable. My friends and I play basketball on
Saturday afternoons. We have lots of fun together. I do my homework on Sunday mornings and help my
mother in the kitchen. On Sunday afternoons, I usually draw pictures and spend time on the net.
