This writing is about my best friend ... 

Answer:

This writing is about my best friend. Truc Anh is good - looking with the long hair and bid bright eyes. She has got an oval face with a high nose and a small mouth. The dimples on chubby cheeks make her cute, especially when she smiles. She is quite tall and slim. She has always been kind and helpful to me. When I miss school because I am unwell she comes to my place to share with me all that has been done at school. When she misses school I too help her with all that has been covered at school. We also play badminton together in the evenings. Lan is good - looking with the long hair and bid bright eyes. She has got an oval face with a high nose and a small mouth.
