Lily and I are good friends. We have been classmates since primary school, so we know each other very well.
Lily and I share the same hobbies, such as reading books, listening to music and playing sport. That's why we are such good friends. After school, we often play badminton together in the playground.
Lily is a hard-working girl. She usually spends hours perfecting her homework. When I meet difficulties in my studies, she is always there to help me. Although Lily does well at school, she is a bit shy and afraid to speak in public. To help her become more confident, I introduced her to my other friends. Now she is much more outgoing.
In my opinion, a true friend will always be there for you. I feel lucky to have a good friend like Lily, and I hope our friendship will last forever.
（五）我的习作

My friend and I
As a favourite saying goes, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." This makes me think about my best friend Ben.
Both Ben and I are tall, and we enjoy collecting different toy cars. However, we have some differences: I enjoy playing basketball while he loves playing table tennis, and he is better at most subjects than I am. We became friends because we often read books and discuss ideas together, and he always tries his best to help me out. When I meet study difficulties, he explains knowledge to me, and I help him become more outgoing by taking him to join my group activities.
I am truly thankful to have such a great friend.
