Question 3:
In my class, there are many classmates. Each has a different personality: some are diligent, some are lazy, some are serious, some are playful... But only Nam excels academically, admired by many, and is also my best friend.
This year, Nhã Nam is twelve years old. He has a slender, slightly tall figure, with fair but not overly pale skin, healthy and rosy. His wide and high forehead signifies intelligence. Most striking are his bright, expressive black eyes. His straight and tall nose adds charm to his cute square face. However, his most captivating feature is his ever-present smiling mouth, making him very likable. Every time he smiles, his lips curl up, revealing evenly white teeth.
Nhã Nam is cheerful, enjoys singing, and is sometimes mischievous. He is quick and neat in everything he does, playful by nature. Wherever he is, laughter is not far behind. It's rare to see him at school in wrinkled or shabby clothes. Nhã Nam walks with purpose, neither rushed nor slow, speaking gently to everyone.
All his friends adore him for his easygoing and harmonious nature. Not only is Nhã Nam cheerful, but he also enjoys helping his friends. In academics, he patiently guides anyone in need. If someone lacks supplies, he happily lends them.
In class, Nhã Nam is always attentive to the teacher's lectures. He diligently completes homework assignments. As a result, Nhã Nam excels academically. Many times, the teacher praises and holds him up as an example for the class. Despite his achievements, Nhã Nam remains humble, modest, and accommodating to everyone. He has never been seen arguing with anyone. However, he shows great courage whenever someone bullies him or his friends.
Like my classmates, I greatly admire Nhã Nam. Being close friends with him, I understand that being loved by everyone is a blessing. Therefore, I silently promise to follow his example.
