 Pre Writng
Someone I know and respect a lot is my best friend, David. David is 15 years old, the
same as me. He lives in Beirut, and he is also living in the same neighborhood as me.
David is a very handsome boy with an oval face and slightly tanned skin. He is tall and
slim with broad shoulders. He has blonde silky hair, gorgeous blue eyes, and a large
rounded nose. He looks like the famous actor Leonardo Di Caprio. I really like David
because of his great personality. He is very helpful, for he always to offer aid to anyone
in need. Additionally, he is quite trustworthy and honest. David can never tell a lie, and
he always keeps my secrets. He always smiles and laugh a lot, spreading happiness
wherever he went. On top of that, he is extremely smart. David has been constantly
taking straight A’s even since he was in elementary school. In addition, he hopes to
become a scientist one day. He is always dreaming about the day in which he will invent
a new rocket or outer space ship. Other than his love for science, David has a musical
talent. He loves to plays several instruments in his free time. He also loves to read and
write poetry. I am so proud and lucky to have a friend like David, and I hope we will
always be good friends.
