I’m lucky because I don’t have a best friend – I have three! Their names are Keith, Tony and Megan. I met them during my first year at university. When I started university I was very quiet and shy at first, but in my first week there I met Keith and Tony. They were both a lot of fun, and knew everyone! Then we became friends with Megan too. She was studying Spanish like me. For the next three years we all shared a flat. We worked hard, and spent the summers together. We travelled all around Europe, and visited India and the USA. Then we left university and got jobs, and moved to different places. Tony and Megan got married. They live about twenty miles from me, so I see them every month. Keith lives in the USA, so I only see him once a year, but we talk on the phone twice a week.
