A short speech on my best friend (Classes 3 to 5)

Good morning, everyone. They say a friend is the family we choose. Today I want to tell you about my best friend, Riya.

We met on the first day of Class 1, when she lent me her eraser. Since then, we have shared lunch, secrets and lots of laughter. Riya is kind, honest and always ready to help, even when she is busy.

A good friend tells you the truth and stands by you when things go wrong. Riya does both. I am lucky to have her as my best friend. Thank you.
