PART 1
I will never forget our first meeting. It was 8 o’clock in the morning and I was going to my
first job interview. I was driving very fast because I was in a hurry and I did not notice a car
on the right. We crashed. I got completely furious. But then I saw a smiling woman who got
out of her car and waved at me. It was Judith and she was not angry at all. We were sitting
in my car waiting for the police and talking. When our cars were taken away we went to a
cafe for a cup of tea.

PART 2
Now we have known each other for almost five years. After our first meeting we started
going out together and we simply fell in love. We had a great time. We spent much time in
pubs, theatres, discos or playing tennis. Judith is such a fascinating woman that we never
get bored. Unfortunately after six months we started arguing a lot and had to break up. It
was very hard but finally we stayed close friends.

PART 3
I think we get on well. We have the same sense of humour and laugh at the same jokes.
We’ve got a lot in common – we like and dislike the same things. And we have the same
tastes in literature – we often exchange books and talk about them for hours. Our
personalities are also quite similar. Judith seems very shy when you first meet her – just like
me. But when you get to know her, you discover she is really funny and sociable.
Our friendship is very important to me. Judith is the only person I can trust. I just wish we
could keep in touch more often.
