Original:

I have a good friend one is my classmates in Senior High School. She is the first person who I get to know in the new class. We have known each other for over ten years. Even though we don’t often get in touch, we always have good relationship between each other. She understand me very well and she often share her working experience and other thing on mind with me. She is very tall, so her feet is very big. For a girl is hard to find shoes, so when I was shopping I found some shoes fitted her I would buy them for her. My friend is not very superficial. She’s very kind and open-minded. I like her personality because she’s so outgoing and when I was embarrassed, she would take me out of the embarrassed atmosphere and encourage.

I have a good friend who was my classmate in Senior High School. She was the first person who I got to know when I first joined that class and we have known each other for over ten years. Even though we aren’t often in touch, we have always had a good relationship. She understands me very well and often shares her experiences at work and other things on her mind.

She is very tall, so her feet are very big, which makes it hard for her to find shoes, so whenever I’m shopping and find some shoes that would fit her I buy them for her. She is not very superficial, and is very kind and open-minded. I like her personality because she’s very outgoing and whenever I feel embarrassed, she finds a way to encourage me and to take me out of that situation.
