Suggested writing No 1
	Of all my classmates, I like to play with Hoa, who is also my good neighbour. If you first meet her, you’ll be impressed by her short hair, high nose and big brown eyes, which always shine. I can read in them her most intimate feelings and intelligence. Hoa has a strong tendency to be sociable. She is willing to help me overcome difficulties in my study and my daily work as well. I hope our friendship will last forever.
Suggested writing No 2
	My friend is Mai. Just like me, she is 17 and she is living in Hanoi with her parents. Mai is very beautiful. Her hair is long and black. She has big brown eyes, white complexion and a straight nose. She is tall and slim so she can dress many kinds of clothes beautifully. Mai is very friendly, helpful, sincere and trustful. I can always tell her my secrets. She likes reading books , watching American films and playing computer games in her free time. She also likes going shopping and chatting with me. What I like her is her positive attitudes toward everything. She is never upset about anything. She always finds out solutions to not only her problems but mine also. I think I am quite lucky to have such a friend like Mai.
