My Best Friend (Title)
I have a lot of friends in my school, but Dinda has been my best friend since junior high school.
We don’t study in the same class, but we meet at school everyday during recess and after school. I first
met her at junior high school orientation and we’ve been friends ever since. (Identification)
Dinda is good-looking. She’s not too tall, with fair skin and wavy black hair that she often puts
in a ponytail. At school, she wears the uniform. Other than that, she likes to wear jeans, casual t-shirts
and sneakers. Her favorite t-shirts are those in bright colors like pink, light green and orange. She is
always cheerful. She is also very friendly and likes to make friends with anyone. Like many other girls,
she is also talkative. She likes to share her thoughts and feelings to her friends. I think that’s why many
friends enjoy her company. However, she can be a bit childish sometimes. For example, when she
doesn’t get what she wants, she acts like a child and stamps her feet.
Dinda loves drawing, especially the manga characters. She always has a sketchbook with her
everywhere she goes. She would spend some time to draw the manga characters from her imagination.
Her sketches are amazingly great. I’m really glad to have a best friend like Dinda. (Description)

For this reason, Paris is often called the City of Light. (Identification)
Every year, millions of people visit Paris. The most popular place to visit
is the Eiffel Tower. This huge structure has become the symbol of Paris. The
Louvre, one of the world's largest art museums, draws many visitors. The
Cathedral of Notre Dame, a famous church, is another favourite place to visit.
