they are very hard -working and friendly they are all respectful too they are from

different cultures and religions it is nice to learn important things about their

culture and habits every day that sounds great yes it is great for example my

best friend Spetlana is from Russia every morning she walks to school because

she likes doing sports and jogging is her favorite sport also she works as a

volunteer in Greenpeace because she cares about nature she is a very

responsible person she is also great at English classes and she helps me a lot
