Dear Alice, Thanks for your email. I'm glad to share my thoughts with you. My favorite saying is, "a true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart." I think it's not necessary for friends to have the same personality. In fact, my best friend Jack is quite different from me. He is quiet but I'm outgoing. I'm always talking. He is taller than me but I'm thinner. He always gets better grades than me. Although we have so many differences, there are also some similarities that we share. We both like playing badminton and soccer. We usually play badminton together, about four times a week. It brings us so much fun. Friends are like books--you don't need a lot of them as long as they are good. I hope you can make some good friends. Yours, Li Ming
