My Friend Mark

Mark’s Childhood
My friend Mark was born in a small town in the north of Canada called Dooly.
Mark grew up a happy and interested boy. He was a good student in school who
studied carefully for all his exams and got very good grades. When it came time to
go to university, Mark decided to move to the United States in order to attend the
University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon.

Mark at University
Mark enjoyed his time at university. In fact, he enjoyed his time immensely, but he
didn’t really spend the time studying for his courses. He preferred to travel around
Oregon, to visit all the sites. He even climbed Mt. Hood twice! Mark became very
strong, but his grades suffered because he was lazy. During his third year at
university, Mark changed his major to agricultural studies. This turned out to be a
very good choice, and Mark slowly began to get good grades again. In the end,
Mark graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in agricultural
sciences.

Mark Gets Married


Two years after Mark graduated, he met a wonderful, hardworking woman
named Angela. Angela and Mark fell in love immediately. After three years of
dating, Mark and Angela married in a beautiful church on the coast of Oregon.
They’ve been married for two years and now have three lovely children. All in all,
life has been very good to Mark. He’s a happy man and I’m happy for him!
