My Best Friend
My best friend is Nga. She
is 56 years old and has been
living in Vietnam, which is
my country. I have known
her since 1979 when I start-
ed studying at high school
and she was my classmate.
She has worked at a commu-
nication company for over
35 years and now is retired.
Unfortunately, her husband
passed away when she was
48.
First, she is not only beautiful
but also intelligent. She got
her master’s degree. She stud-
ied professional communica-
tion in Vietnam. Second, she
is a very kind and supportive
friend. She always listens to
my problems and gives me
advice when I need it. Third,
she has many hobbies.
She likes exercising, yoga,
playing tennis, and walking.
Because of that, she looks en-

Europe. She hopes to come to

the United States next year.
Moreover, she manages her
budget very well.
She can afford for her two
children to study at the uni-
versity and have a good life.
In conclusion, Nga is my most
important friend. She always
motivates and helps me solve
my problems.
Furthermore, she inspires me
to study and to work well. I
love her a lot and I expect to
welcome her in Washington,
DC soon.
