 It is two years since I know my friend Lina at Hassan II high school. I
liked her so much because of many things. In this paragraph I will speak
about her physical, intellectual characteristics and her attitude towards
life and people. Physically speaking, she is tall and well-built. She has got
wide black eyes and round face. She always wears decent and loose
clothes. She is always veiled. Intellectually speaking, she is very smart.
She does her homework before her peers. She also memorizes things
better than her peers. What is more, she is good at Maths and physics
although she is a literary student. Concerning her attitude towards
people and life; she is modest and fair. She treats all people with the
same respect. She is optimistic and hopeful about the future. That is
why I like her very much and she is my best friend.
 Mehdi has been my close friend for three years. I first met him in a
birthday party. We talked and exchanged our phone numbers. We have
been friends since that day. (name / where / when you met) Mahdi is
young. He's tall and slim, with a curly dark hair. He is known with his oval
face. My friend's clothes are always smart. He loves to be good looking. (
Physical appearance) Mahdi is very outgoing. He is friendly and loves
to have fun. Aslo, he is optimistic and loves to face the problems with a
huge smile. Moreover, Mahdi is very ambitious because he dreams big,
and of course he works hard to make his dreams real. However he can
be immature sometimes. For example, when he doesn't get what he
wants, he acts childishly. (Personality) All in all, I'm glad to have
Mahdi like my friend. It's a pleasure to be with him and I really enjoy his
company. I'm sure we'll always be close friends. (Personal Comment)
 There are three reasons why Canada is one of the best
countries in the world. First, Canada has an excellent
health care system. For example, all Canadians have
access to medical services at a reasonable price. Second,
Canada has a high standard of education. Students are
taught by well-trained teachers and are encouraged to
continue studying at university; for instance. Finally,
Canada's cities are clean and efficiently managed. For
instance, Canadian cities have many parks and lots of
space for people to live. As a result, Canada is a desirable
place to live.
