I have a wonderful friend named Max . He is very tall —almost 1.75 metres. However, he has poor eyesight because of too much computer work at night. He wears small, round glasses and they make him look smart. Max has a good sense of humour. I never feel bored or unhappy when he is with me. He tells funny jokes and always makes me laugh. His legs are very long and they do not fit under the school desks. He can walk fast but when he walks past the desks, he often knocks over our books and pens. He Is so funny. Name : Max
