Find the useful and beautiful sentences.
My mother told me a good friend is like
a mirror. I’m quieter and more serious
than most kids. That’s why I like
reading books and I study harder in class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too, so we enjoy studying together. I’m shy so it’s not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends are like books – you don’t need a lot of them as long as they’re good.
