My friend Daniel
Daniel is my best friend. I first met him 7 years ago at a badminton club.He has short hair and bright smiling eyes. He always looks lively. Daniel is a trustworthy boy. If I tell him my secrets, he never tells others. He is also energetic and humorous. He often tells funny jokes that make me laugh.
What's more, he is very helpful. When I have math problems, he helps me solve them. And he is cheerful all the time, which makes me feel happy when I'm with him.
I'm really lucky to have such a good friend.
