                      My friends
When anyone has his/her (оставь без изменений) best friend it is nice. Some people have not got the best friends, but they have got friends of them.
I also have got the fiends of mine and fortunately, I have got my best friend. The fiends of mine are my schoolboys and schoolgirls that isn't only classmates.
I have got friends in the Internet. We usually write and speak to each other about films and nice events. They are interesting to me.
I also have got some good neighbors with whom I often go for a walk in the nearest park and play with them together in our yard.
I can go to cafes and cinemas with the fiends of mine but personal questions I discus with my best friend. Her/his (-измени) name is  впиши имя друга   . She/he (-измени) is very kind and understand me always and very fine.  Впиши имя друга   and I talk together about everything, that is warring us when we have met. We also speak to each other in the Internet every evening. It's often exciting to us.
We never quarrel, because there is nothing to cause to any misunderstanding.
I am very glad that I have got my best friend and the friends of mine. I need that because I think about myself that I am a sociable person.

the best friend = настоящий друг (много не бывает)
(a) friend of mine мой приятель(ница);    friends of them - их приятели  (бывает много)

In school, I deal with a lot of guys. We have a very friendly class. We often gather at someone from our home, sometimes go to the disco or to the cinema. But real friends I've only got two. Rather, it is a friend and the friend of my classmates Denis and Sasha. Dennis I know for a long time. We with him since kindergarten friends. And Sasha came to us in sixth grade. She was sociable and quickly joined in our team. She was energetic and charismatic. In the class likes her. Before Alex lived in Moscow. It tells us a lot about this city, about my friends who stayed there. Its very interesting to listen to. Dennis and almost every weekend we organize for her trips to Kharkov. Sanja says that is focused here is not worse than in Moscow. I'm glad I became friends with her. Sometimes I think she really misses his Moscow friends. I don't know if we can replace them, but try to help her. Dennis, of course, often separated from us and spends time with his friends - boys. But Sanya and will not be offended. Maybe they have a real friendship. Whatever it was, we never betray, always supportive. Sasha and I have been learning English advanced, and Denis in these days of coaching basketball in the school gym, after which he is always waiting for us to carry home. I know he will not give us offense. I can not imagine what will be when we will grow. Don't want to look in the future. But my mom says that very often people who made friends in childhood, in adulthood fuss, leave and accidental meetings't even greet each other. And I don't believe. I hope that with Denis and Sasha will not be separated ever. moi-shkolnye-druzyaмои school friends In school, I deal with a lot of guys. We have a very friendly class.
