My friend

My name is Mark. I’m fourteen years old. I’m in the eighth grade. I have a lot of friends but I want to tell about my best friend. His name is Steve. We have studied together in the same school for seven years. Steve is cheerful and kind. He is very reliable and helpful. He is especially good at Geometry and Algebra and helps me with my homework because I often have problems with these subjects. Like me, Steve goes to sports school.
