My friend.

My name is Natalia. I am twelve years old. I am from Kharkiv. As an ordinary person, I like to communicate with my schoolmates. But I've got one real friend. Her name is Vita. We are classmates. Vita is not very tall, but she is slim and pretty. She's got shoulder-length dark wavy hair and blue eyes. Vita is a very honest and responsible girl. I can absolutely trust her and I often rely on her in some situations. Vita loves animals very much. She has got a cat at home. She loves him greatly. Vita always feeds stray dogs if she meets them in the street. She is a serious and hard-working girl. She pays much attention to studying. Vita is fond of Biology. In the future she wants to become a doctor. We spend our days off together. We sometimes go to the theatre or cinema. In spring and in summer we ride bikes in the park or go on picnics with our families or walk around the centre of the city. We can talk for hours about all sorts of things (looks, films, school). Of course, we sometimes misunderstand each other but we try to make peace quickly. I respect my friend for her intellect, honesty and kindness. I think we are both happy to be friends.
