My best friend Manthan/Smita is my best friend. He/she is talkative but very clever. He/she is very punctual about the homework. He/she is polite and helpful. He/she is hardworking as well as helpful to others. Though, he/she is active but arrogant sometimes. Yet, he/she helps me in my need. According to me, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Friend plays an important role in everybody’s life. Man is known not by his name but by his company. The friend who always flatters is not a friend at all but a foe. Hence, one should identify the true friend. A true friend denotes the vices/wrong doings a friend. A true friend plays the role of a rose as well as thorn. In some situations. He /she is a path finder too. He/she is always ready to provide helping hand. In this way, I love my friend as he/she is very kind as well as honest. Thus, everyone should have a friend. |

‘My School’
I go to a school called Vidydeep Vidyalaya, which is located in the city of Mumbai. It’s a well-known school that focuses on helping students do well in their studies and become well-rounded individuals. There are a lot of students at Vidydeep Vidyalaya, around 1,500 in total, and we have 40 teachers who work hard to teach us.
One great thing about our school is the library. It has lots of books for us to read and learn from. We also have cool science labs where we can do experiments and learn about science in a hands-on way. And, of course, we have a big playground where we can play sports and have fun outside. Our classrooms are nice too, with all the things we need for learning. Besides these, we also have other activities, a cafeteria for lunch, and plenty of parking space for students and staff. Our school tries to make sure we have everything we need to succeed.
