My best friend Selena

Hi, my name is Tina. I am thirteen years old and today I want to talk about my best friend
Selena. She is my classmate and she is thirteen years old too. We attend a very big
school near Scotland. We share the same desk and love the same school subjects. Our
favorite lessons are Arts and Physical Education. I am very good at tennis and she is very
good at volleyball. She plays volleyball at our school team. We both have a busy life. We
always get up at a half past six and at seven o’clock her father takes us to school by car.
They live next door to us, so after school we always do our homework, walk our dogs and
play together. Our classes start at half past seven and finish at 4 p.m. Her mother is a
nurse. My mother is a nurse too and they work at the same hospital. Our fathers are both
engineers but they work at different companies. On Mondays, Selena has violin class and I
have piano class. On Tuesdays and Thursdays she practices volleyball at the school’s
gym and I play tennis in our school court. Friday is my favorite day because Selena stays
overnight with us. On the weekends, we usually go to the movie theater or have a picnic if
the weather is good. I am the only child, I don’t have a sister but she is like a sister to me.
