the sentences to make a good paragraph
My best friend’s name is “Sao Mai”, which means “Morning Star” in English. She is the same age with me, and we have known each other since we were in grade 4.
*Name
*Age
*When and Where
I met her
Her Physical
Characteristics
Her personalities
What I like
about her
She has a very nice personality and a wonderful sense of humour. She is also very intelligent and studious.
In addition, she is very good at maths and she helps me a lot with difficult exercises.
However, perhaps the best thing I like about her is her kindness. Whenever I have a problem, she always encourages me or gives me helpful advice. I hope that our friendship will last forever.
The first thing I like about Mai is that she shares the same interests with me. We both enjoy listening to music and collecting stamps.
If I were to describe how she looks, I would say she is very pretty.
She is not very tall and quite slim. She has a round face with long black hair, big eyes and regular white teeth. That’s why many people say that her smile can brighten up even the cloudiest day.

I have a best friend name Linh, we have been together since we are just little kids. She has beautiful bright skin and brown eye. We have a lot of things in common, such as we love the same band, food and book. She and I even share the same names, and it is a small surprise for anyone who has talked to us. Linh is not my classmate, but we always helps each other with the homework and school projects. We spend every minute of our break time to talk about all the things that happen in class, and people usually ask what can even make us laugh that hard. Sometimes I think it is like we are best mates since forever, and I hope that we are happy like this for a very long time.
