My Friend

I have many friends, but my best friend is Nick, Nick is 18. He is a first year student of the faculty of Economics of the Sochi State University. His specialized field is tax and taxation. We have much in common: the same interests and attitude to life. Very often our opinions coincide, sometimes they differ. But we never quarrel; there is mutual understanding between us. He is very pleasant in manner and appearance. He is even-tempered, calm and frank. He is persistent, but sometimes he loses his temper and becomes either angry or sad. He likes to laugh and to joke. He has a good sense of humor. He is clever and hard-working. Nick does his study well though he says that sometimes study makes him tired. He goes out to disco or he plays computer games quite often.

Nick is about 183 cm high, well-built and strong. He has an oval face, straight nose, thick hair, blue eyes and an attractive smile. So people find him good-looking.

Nick is particularly known for his warm and friendly character. Whenever a friend is in trouble he never fails to help. He is always open-minded and interested in other people. The only thing I don't like about Nick is that he smokes. But he is a person of strong character and I'm sure he will get rid of this bad habit.

We made friends with Nick when his family moved to our house. Nick was a schoolboy then. He was interested in Maths and dreamt to enter the University. In general my friend is an interesting person. He is well-read. He is fond of modern pop and rock music. His favourite singers are Andrei Makarevich and Juri Shevchuk. Nick goes in for sports with great enthusiasm. He plays basketball and football well. His hobby is body­building. My friend is single and is not going to marry yet.

His family is not very large. He has a father, a mother and a teenage sister called Ann. They live in a three room flat in the center of the city. His father is a professional painter; he works for a design company. His mother is a teacher of music and plays the piano well. She is very energetic and talkative. She always has a lot of work to do about the house and at school. Despite it she always looks terrific. As for his sister, she is always busy at school. She does her study well.

For me it is very important that Nick is an honest man. I can fully rely on him and trust everything to him. Nick has got a great sense of humor and I like to spend time with him. It's impossible to be depressed with him around.
