The person that I like most is Jonny. He's my best friend. I met him on holiday two years ago in Paris, and from that time on, he has been my favourite and reliable person.
Johnny is a student at Sorbonne University. He is in his twenties. He is a bit short and fat. His face is round and his eyes are small and black. His hair is blonde. Johnny usually wears smart clothes. He likes to wear most a black suit and a necktie. He looks like a businessman, though. My friend is talented and creative. He is an active member in different university clubs. He most of the time goes overseas to take part in some international theatre competitions. In 2017, he performed an excellent show in Edinburg and the jury gave him the first prize. Children in his neighbourhood love him because he has such a great sense of humour.
Johnny is a sociable, helpful and trustworthy person. Besides participating in some community services, he helps other students do their assignments and University research papers. We really share a lot of things and we have a lot of plans to do in the future. I hope our friendship will continue forever.
