My best friend is Aunt Daisy.0:08
She is my grandmother's sister, my great aunt.0:11
The difference in years has never mattered.0:14
Though Aunt daisy is nearly 70, she understands everything in the right way and he's always ready to help.0:17
She lives in the country, has never married and is one of those rare ageless people who are full of kindness, tolerance, fun and wisdom.0:23
B In my opinion, Alex and I are real friends.0:35
We have grown up together and we are the same age, to be more exact.0:40
We were born on the same day.0:45
As we were neighbors, we naturally spent a lot of time together.0:47
We had similar interests.0:52
We went fishing together, enjoyed cycling and playing football.0:53
Now we go to the same school and belong to the same football team.0:57
I think I have very caring and understanding parents who always support me.1:06
And they are certainly my friends who do a lot for me.1:11
I love them and respect them and I am proud of them.1:14
They work a lot and I miss them very much when they are at work.1:18
But we spend our free time together and share life experiences with my parents.1:22
I have the sense of belonging which is so important.1:28
I know what it is like to be rejected by peers.1:31
I have several friends, but my best mate is my eldest sister, Emma.1:39
Sometimes she can be difficult.1:43
She makes me do the things she considers right and doesn't want to listen to any excuses when I don't do them.1:45
For example, washing up, which I hate.1:52
But Emma can help in any difficult situation and is always ready to give advice.1:54
But what is more important, she can listen to my troubles and my problems, which I have a lot of.2:00
Fiona is a friend of mine.2:10
She's not very talkative, but she's always ready with a smile or a joke when you don't have things easy.2:12
When my mother died, I had to take care of my father, who wasn't very well.2:18
Fiona didn't phone me like many people did who wanted to know if I was ok.2:23
She just came in the evening, helped with evening meal, walked the dog, talked to me and then kept on visiting us every day, helping.2:28
She was a real friend in need.2:37
Simon makes my life better just by being around.2:42
There simply cannot be a better friend than him.2:46
We met over a year ago at a concert organized for disabled people.2:49
Simon's seat was next to mine.2:54
After that, my life became so enriched by his presence.2:56
We send emails to each other and we have been writing messages about all the things that happen to us.3:00
Simon is always there for me, positive and encouraging.3:06
We share the same sense of humor.3:10
He's like the brother I never had.3:12
