My best friend is called Sam. He is seventeen years old. He is tall and he is thin. He is very handsome. His hair is black and his eyes are brown.

Sam is very funny. He is always happy and he is never angry. He is friendly to everyone. He is also very smart. He is good at math and science.

But Sam is not perfect. He is sometimes lazy. He is not very good at sports. He is slow when he runs. He is often tired in the morning because he is always late to bed.

Sam is a good friend because he is kind and helpful. He is always ready to listen. He is honest and he is never rude.

We are very different. I am short and I am not very thin. I am shy, but Sam is outgoing. I am usually quiet, but Sam is very talkative.
