Talk about one of your friends.

Talk about one of your friends. NlVn2

I'd like to talk about one of my friends, actually my best friend, Mohammad. 1 We've been friends since bachelor's degree – for about 6 years, I guess. We were together in college for four years. After that, he went to military service, and I kept studying at the master's level. So we were kind of separated. Yet, we've kept up our friendship. I think it is good today as it was then. 2 In fact, we share lots of interests, we both like outdoor activities, you know, mountain climbing, hiking, picnicking and that sort of thing. Also, we both have a passion for going to various Coffee-shops and tasting different menus. 3 He's an exceptional person to me, a truly great friend to have…er… and is not just another fair-weather friend, you know; to leave you alone when you are in trouble. We all know that in times of prosperity, friends are plentiful! But he's been with me in both good and bad times, a devoted friend and…er…so trusty. Um…both of us are committed to this friendship and value it.
