My best friend is my cousin Christina. She’s my mom’s sister’s daughter. We pretty much grew up
together. She’s someone I can call any time, day or night. She’s a very reliable person – she listens
to me and she understands my problems.

It might sound strange, but my best friend is my grandfather. He’s someone whose life changed a
lot after my grandmother died. I always go to him when I’m feeling down and we talk until I feel
better. He’s very talkative and sometimes he doesn’t even stop!

Don’t laugh, but I have to say my BFF is my dog. His name is Rex! He never argues with me and
he’s always there when I need him. He’s the most fascinating
friend in the world!

My best friend is my boyfriend Grant. We’ve been dating for 4 years now. He’s the most
sympathetic person I’ve ever met. I mean, he’s had a really interesting life. And he’s funny too!
He’s someone who can really make me laugh.

CROSS OUT WHO AND THAT WHEREVER POSSIBLE.
In a recent survey, people were asked to describe the qualities that they
look for in a friend. Most people like someone who has a great sense of
humor, but a close second was someone who is a great listener. A
personality trait that people really don’t like is unreliability. “I don’t like
friends who are always late” said one person who we surveyed.
