 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Question

Talk about your best friend and why he or she is your best friend. Include details and examples to support your decision.

 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Answer

My best friend is the first friend I made when I moved to my new home. He has been my friend for more than half of my life now. We grew up in the same place and like all the same things. We can still talk about movies that we saw 10 years ago. We talk about TV shows that we watched when we were kids. Not all of our likes and dislikes are the same, but because we have been friends for so long, I think we both know all of each other’s likes and dislikes already. We have done so many things together, like play on the same soccer team 5 or 6 separate times and after we graduated from high school, we took a road trip and drove around America for two weeks to see different places we had never been before.
