The play is fun to watch. There are many different things going on, which makes it an interesting story. You want to know what is going to happen next.
Yes, I have a good friend. He is a very nice and modest person and it's always fun to be around him.

This is the best story I ever read. I think British Council must update another story about William Shakespeare work.

I don't like this play. I think it is too unrealistic. I have friends but I don't feel like talking about them.
