Dima plays in our local basketball team. By the way, thanks to him I started to train in our school’s gym in the evenings.
Dima is a very good friend. We have a lot of fun together. We laugh at each other’s jokes and have plenty to talk about. In addition to that Dima is a very purposeful person. He knows what university he will enter after school. It is clear that he wants his life to be related to sports.
Sometimes it seems that Dima doesn’t have any shortcomings. But this is not true. He takes all his failures and mistakes very much to heart. If something goes wrong, he remains engrossed in his own thoughts for a few days. When this happens, it is impossible to make him tell you about it.
