Making Friends Peter is making a scrapbook about his friends. Read the descriptions he has written in his scrapbook.

TONY Tony is my best friend. He likes going hiking. For him, hiking isn't a relaxing activity it's an adventure! He always goes hiking on the mountains in the New Territories with his parents! I met him in kindergarten. Susan likes to help people. For example, she always tidies up Miss Sun's desk after class. In her free time, she enjoys chatting online with friends and going shopping. I met her in Primary 1. Do you know what Derek did yesterday? He sang on a bus! He loves singing and he likes to make people laugh by acting silly but, sometimes his sense of humour gets him into trouble with his teacher. He also loves going to the cinema to watch action films. I met him in Primary 2. Lucy is quiet around people she has just met. She isn't quiet around me, though. In fact, sometimes, she's quite bossy! After school, she usually spends her time reading books and listening to music. I met Lucy at a concert last year. Gary is really good at playing football. His favourite player is David Beckham. He knows everything about Beckham. I met Gary in Primary 3. We played on the same football team. I was clumsy, but Gary scored lots of goals. He also enjoys flying kites.
