MY BEST FRIEND

wanted my mother. Pamela gave me a sweet and we became friends immediately. We
were together nearly every day until we left school twelve years later. Then I went to
university but Pamela didn't. She got married and had three children. I studied for eight
years because I wanted to be an accountant. I had a lot of new friends so I didn't see
Pamela very often. Sometimes we didn't meet for months but we often talked on the
phone.

waiting for the boats to come in. Our most important festival of the year is the Chol

wanted my mother. Pamela gave me a sweet and we became friends immediately. We
were together nearly every day until we left school twelve years later. Then I went to
university but Pamela didn't. She got married and had three children. I studied for eight
years because I wanted to be an accountant. I had a lot of new friends so I didn't see
Pamela very often. Sometimes we didn't meet for months but we often talked on the phone.
