Hollys best friend, Pete, likes to do the same things as she does. And they are both pretty outgoing. Pete is funnier and wilder than Holly is. Maria and her best friend look alike. They are both tall. They both have long, curly hair. But Marias friend is much quieter and smarter than she is. Now lets check and make corrections on the board.3c Thinking and writingWe have just written something about Holly, Maria and their friends. Now its time to write something about you and your friend. I like to have friends who are not like me. Im taller than most of my friends in my class. And my best friend Yuan Li is shorter, too. There are some things the same, though. Im as good as Li Hua at English. Shes as happy as I am.Its not necessary to be different. I like to have friends who are the same as I am. My best friend Niu Ying is as tall and as outgoing as I am.
