1、I have a very good friend。 His name is Philip。 As far as I'm concerned， he's very kind—hearted and generous。 Once I was in high school， he treated me friendly and sincerely。 When I was happy， he was also happy with me。 When I was sad， he always comforted me。 When I was defeated， he always encouraged me。 When I stumbled， he always pulled me up。 Although we quarreled at times， we were still in good relationships。 We could know each other better after the argument。 When my birthday came， he always sent me a special present。

2、He's very hard—working and intelligent。 He always studied hard at school。 Because of his hard work， he always did very well in exams。 His oral English was better than mine。 Most of the time， he was willing to chat with me in English。 Owing to his help， I made a lot of progress in oral English。
