As we live in society, we meet a lot of people during our lives. We communicate with all these people, but our attitudestowards each of these people are different. Usually I classify people I know as acquaintances, friends and close friends. I’m going to tell you about the best friends of mine. They are Victor Danylenko and Dmytro Lysenko.
Victor is a good-natured guy of medium height, strong in body, fair-haired with light blue eyes. Usually he is the life and soul of the party. He is fond offoreign languages. Not so long ago he decided to study English. He worked on it persistently and now he speaks English well. Victor also likes music. He is a good singer, he plays guitar and dances as a professional dancer.
Dmytro is rather slim, not very tall, his hair is brown, and his eyes are grey. Usually he wears T-shirts with emblems of football clubs, such as “Dynamo” (Kyiv) and “Metallist” (Kharkiv).
