: Model Answer

The human cannot live alone and thus requires friends. The trend has been on since the inception of the civilisation. I also have many friends and have usually pass moments with them. But Jacob Stallin is my best friend

One might have a good number of friends in different forums but not everyone is considered as the best friend. A best friend should have some specific qualities and responsibilities. Jacob Stallin, a boy of 17 is my best friend for some specific reasons. He is a kind hearted boy and behaves very well with everyone. He proudly owns an adventurer –like look and has a very special hairstyle. He never combs his hair or uses any sort of hair care element. He has a manly look for his large brown eyes and wide forehead. With his sharp nose, he looks wonderful as well. He lives with his family in the block we live in

We are familiar for around eight years. When I was a child of nine years, my father shifted in the current location (Davao City in southern Philippine). He is a businessman and shifted in this coastal city with the aim to enlarge his business. When I was admitted to the local school, I met with the local students and all of them accepted me cordially. However, there were some invisible distances among us and at last I found that Jacob is also like me. His family also shifted there a few months ago. Since both of us could not be familiar with the local children, we planned to be together. Already eight years have passed since we met first and hope our friendship will last till our death. By the period of eight years, we have had many quarrels but everything was okay after a few moments. In fact, Jacob and I understand each other very well and thus the troubles do not last longer

We do a lot of things together. The first thing is study. Both of us help each other in studies since we are in the same grade. During or before the academic tests, we share our views and take notes. Often we exchange notes of different subjects and try to make the texts clearer to each other. Sometimes we move for an outing in far places using bicycles. Fishing is a great task for us. We catch fish from the Davao River. Sometimes we board on boats and move towards the sea for fishing. That is the most important way for us to get entertained. Besides, both of us like to enjoy movies at theatre halls. Whenever we see an advertisement of any new movie, we immediately rush to the theatre. During the familiar events, both of us are invited to our respective families and it appears that we have turned the part of the families. All of the family members are well aware of our activities and love us unconditionally

There are many reasons to pick him as my best friend. When I was isolated in my school, he came forward to accompany me in my distress. The cultural mismatch was one of the key causes of the mismatch with the local children though they initially appreciated me for arriving from a different culture. But they were less cordial with me and treated me as an alien. At that moment, Jacob expanded his helping hand and still he is with me. He is very careful about some issues and with his direct inspiration, I have been performing well in the examinations. Besides, he has a developed an improved sense of right and wrong. When I want to commit any misdeeds, he forbids me. So, often I feel lucky to have him as my best friend
