I know one guy who may be my best friend if we get to know each other better. When I first met him, I thought he was just
a lazy type. Later, I learned that he is a hard-working and ambitious man. Unfortunately, he’s quite shy so he doesn’t talk to other people too much.
I think he has too many complexes! He is slim, tall and has curly, thick hair. He thinks that nobody likes him – which is not true, by the way. I like spending time with him because we both are interested in warhammer.

lazy – leniwy
hard-working – ciężko pracujący
shy – nieśmiały
complexes – kompleksy; (nie myl z ‘completion’ = ‘cera’)
slim – szczupły
curly, thick hair – kręcone, gęste włosy
to spend time – spędzać czas

My best friend is a horrible guy! He is talkative and impatient with shy people. Sometimes he can be very rude, especially with the teachers. What’s strange is that girls love him! He is not very handsome. He’s got a broad face and grey greasy hair and he is overweight but he is an honest friend and he can keep a secret – that’s very important. I can talk with him about anything.

I don’t have a best friend.
I don’t want to be hurt again. Last time when I had a best friend she told our friends some horrible things about me, then she was pretending she didn’t say anything. She was very mean. Besides, she was very unkind and intolerant. She was very self-absorbed and believed that every boy liked her. After some time I noticed that people didn’t want to talk to me because they knew she was my friend.

unkind – niemiła; nieuprzejma
intolerant – nietolerancyjna
self-absorbed – skoncentrowana na sobie/zapatrzona w siebie

My best friend is a good looking man. He’s well-built, but not overweight, has blond hair and blue eyes. Girls are crazy about him! They ask me all the time to introduce them to him! Janek, that’s his name, is a quiet and rather unsociable type. Sometimes I think he feels lonely. He says he’s ambitious and needs to study a lot and he doesn’t have time for parties. I like him because he has a great sense of humour and I don’t know a more reliable person than he is.

I’ve always had the same best friend! We met in the first grade of primary school. She was so ugly! She had straight red hair and her pale face was full of freckles! At the beginning everybody was laughing at her but she was always calm and polite and children discovered she could be a fantastic, generous friend. Now her hair is darker and she has beautiful green eyes. Boys don’t find her unattractive any more. I’m very happy for her.

My best friend’s name is Kasia. She is a very pretty and attractive girl. We spend a lot of time together. She is very cheerful so I never feel sad when I am with her. She is also very patient and when I need her help (especially in maths), she will always help me – she needs a lot of patience then because maths for me is black magic. What I like about her the most is that she loves animals. She would never let anybody hurt an animal.
