My good friend Laura is my cousin. She is five years {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(old) than me. I am fourteen years old, so she is nineteen now. She lives in Bristol. She is very {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(friend) and easy to get along with. She has long brown hair and big eyes. She wants to be a dancer when she {#blank#}3{#/blank#} up.

    When she was six years old, she began {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (learn) dancing. She wants to be a super dancer, but it's difficult. She often {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(dance) in shows and I have watched her shows many times. I love watching her dance. We talk about everything together and we always share our {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(happy) and sadness with each other. My favourite saying is "A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart". Laura is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} friend like this.

    Laura is very busy every day {#blank#}8{#/blank#} she also studies photography at a university. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} is a really good photographer and she has taken lots of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (wonder) photos. Last year, she won the first prize in the city's photo competition.

    I am lucky that I have such a good friend.

    It was our school's yearly dancing show. I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (be) excited that 1 was chosen by the teacher this time although I didn't have any experience of dancing for a show. I would dance in front of all the students and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (teacher). It made me very proud.

    However, I was a bit sad {#blank#}3{#/blank#} my father had no time to watch me dance. He {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (invite) to have a business meeting. I knew that my father would surely come to my show if he could. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (lucky), my mother and my elder sister were still coming to watch my show.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the beginning of the day, I was very nervous. After changing into the dress and getting my makeup done, I felt {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (relax). Then I went on to the stage bravely. I was very glad to see my mother and sister sitting in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} second row.

    Just before the lights turned dark, I saw my father rush into the hall and take the seat beside my mother. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a pleasant surprise it was! The sight of my father made {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (I) smile. I began dancing confidently. Soon after the show, my family came backstage to congratulate me. I was so happy and lucky to have my family's support.
