Hi. Today I want to tell you about my best friend. His name is Son. I'm very proud of him. He was born in a happy family. He went to school at 6. He studied very hard and did homework well. Of course sometimes his parents helped him. When he left school he wanted to enter the institute but he hadn't any money. That's why he began working in a factory. He worked till late in the evening. He was very tired. But a year later he had enough money for the institute and he entered. After 5 years he graduated institute with a straight A and now he is a leading engineer.
