Когда я был подростком, Виктор был готов ответить на любые мои вопросы о жизни. Теперь мы учимся в колледже и по-прeжнему являемся лучшими друзьями.

Дружба значит очень много в моей жизни.

I want to tell you about my friend. His name is Victor. We have known each other since school days. As children, we often went for walks together, went to the movies and went swimming.

When I was a teenager, Victor was ready to answer any of my questions about life. We are now in college and still best friends.

Friendship means a lot in my life.

My Friends

Friendship how youmeans very much in your life. You realize it fully when you think  you can live without your friends. In many cases, it’s unimaginable. That’s why the Englishmen say, «A friend in need is friend indeed». The borderline between friends and acquaintances is different in Russian and English culture: Russians o h to threesay that close friends are not numerous. You have only from one ree true friends whom you can confide in and share all your troubles with.

All the others are just those with whom you can spend free time or discuss recent news and popular films. Whereas Englishmen think that anyone with whom you are on good terms is you friend. American view on friendship is even more exaggerated. But, as you know, «So many countries, so many customs». Even friendship is different in different countries.

As for me, all my friends and acquaintances can be subdivided into a tee different groups. Firstly, there are those whom I have  very long time, sometimes even since before school. Those friends are not many, but my best friend is among them. Secondly, there are my school much friends. We have been together for so many years that we have very  in common. This fact unites us. And lastly, there are my college friends. We know each other for a short time, but still we are friends, because our rt  interests are similar.

For each person, the classification may be different. As my father served in the army, he has had many friends ry ends since then. They are from all parts of our country! It is friendship that makes us stronger! I would like to speak about my closest friend. His name is re W we e have known each other since early childhood. When we were boys,  went to the country together, played tennis, swam in the river and had fun. We studied in the same school and often helped each other in our homework.

When I was a teenager, I had many problems and questions without answers, and I always turned to Bergey for help. I also supported him when he needed it. Now we see each other not so often, because we don’t study together. But we are still very never betray each other.

Мой друг

Дружба как известно, очень много значит в вашей жизни. Вы понимаете это в полной мере, когда думаете, что можете жить без своих друзей. Во многих случаях это не так. Вот почему англичане говорят: «Друг познается в беде». Граница между друзьями и знакомыми в русской и английской культурах различна: русские говорят, что близких друзей немного. Есть только три  настоящих друга, которым ты можешь довериться и разделить с ними все свои беды.

Все остальные — это просто те, с кем можно провести свободное время или обсудить последние новости и популярные фильмы. А англичане считают, что всякий, с кем вы в хороших отношениях, — ваш друг. Американский взгляд на дружбу еще более преувеличенный. Но, как известно, «Сколько стран, столько и обычаев». Даже дружба бывает разной в разных странах.

Что касается меня, то всех моих друзей и знакомых можно разделить на три разные группы. Во-первых, есть те, с кем я дружу очень давно, иногда даже еще до школы. Таких друзей немного, но мой лучший друг среди них. Во-вторых, у меня много школьных друзей. Мы вместе уже столько лет, что у нас очень много общего. Этот факт нас объединяет. И, наконец, мои друзья есть  из колледжа. Мы знакомы недолго, но все же дружим, потому что наши есть общие интересы.

Для каждого человека классификация может быть разной. Поскольку мой отец служил в армии, с тех пор у него появилось много друзей. Они со всех уголков нашей страны! Именно дружба делает нас сильнее! Я хотел бы рассказать о моем ближайшем друге. Его зовут Егор. Мы знаем друг друга с раннего детства. Когда мы были мальчишками, вместе ездили на природу, играли в теннис, плавали в реке и веселились. Мы учились в одной школе и часто помогали друг другу в выполнении домашних заданий.

Когда я был подростком, у меня было много проблем и вопросов без ответов, и я всегда обращался за помощью к нему. Я также поддерживал его, когда он нуждался в этом. Сейчас мы видимся не так часто, потому что вместе не учимся. Но мы еще очень никогда не предадим друг друга.

Рассказ о друге

I have a lot of friends. Most of them are classmates. My best friend is Andrey. He is 20 years old. He lives with his parents.

Andrey has a lot of hobbies: he likes to play the computer, to read detective stories, to collect butterflies. He likes animals, espesially cats. Andrey has short, light hair and grey eyes. He is quite short and rather thin. He always manages to be cheerful, energetic, full of life and energy. He is helpful and honest.

Andrey is very popular. He is a helpful person and every time he tries to do her best to help somebody when he has problems.

Andrey is very attentive to his parents. Of course, he has some drawbacks — sometimes she is a hurly-burly boy, a bit stubborn. But still like him as she has a good sense of humour and pleasant to deal with.

We spend much time together — watch video or listen to the music, walk or go to the cafe discussing all sorts of things. Our friendship helps me feel strong and sure of myself.
