Read the passage and choose the best answer.

Three people were asked about their best friend and here is what they said.

Jason (14, a student): Tom is my neighbor. We've been friends for 7 years. Tom's tall and he has blond hair and big round blue eyes. He's a funny but reliable person. He makes me really happy and relaxed with all of his jokes. Oh. We're visiting his uncle's farm next weekend. We're going fishing in the morning and flying kites on the farm in the afternoon. I'm sure it will be fun.

 

Kien (25, a teacher): My best friend is my colleague, Trang. We studied together from kindergarten to high school. She's a bit awkward sometimes but she looks lovely with chubby cheeks and big round glasses. She has a good sense of humour that makes me love to be with her. She's going on a vacation with her family in Hue. Next Friday she's coming back and we're eating out together in the evening.

 

 

Riko (16, a student): I love my twin sister, Kiko. We grew up together. We tell each other everything and we spend day and night together. We look identical and even have the same tastes. We are both a little chubby and have round faces. However, we have quite different personalities. She's confident and humorous but I am a bit shy and sensitive. She's going on a field trip on a farm in the countryside. I miss her so much.

My best friend is Simon. He is very helpful. When I can't do my math homework, he helps me.

He doesn't like selfish people. That's why he always shares his candy with his friends. I think he is very kind. He always thinks about other people.

Simon always makes me laugh. He is so funny! Lots of students in our class like him. He is very friendly, too. He has a lot of friends.

One bad thing about Simon is he can be lazy. He doesn't like doing housework or schoolwork. That's OK because he is my best friend!

Tâm Trần, June 21

One of my favorite stories is from Vietnam. It's about two sisters, Tấm and Cám. The two sisters are very different. Tấm works hard every day helping to cook and clean the house. She always thinks about other people and tries to help her family. Cám is very different to Tấm. She never does any chores and she doesn't share anything. Cám does lots of bad things to Tấm. It's not a nice story, but in the end, Tấm's life is very good. I like this story because after such a hard life she is happy.
