I Remember My Special Friends
by Kizuki

I made lots of friends or a best friend every time I moved so I will tell you where I lived and what kinds of friends I made.

The first friend I made was in Japan. I was living in Utsnomiya, north of Tokyo. We had a house smaller than the house we are renting now (in Holland). There was a tatami room, a bath room, living room and a kitchen downstairs. Upstairs there was a toilet, my mum & dads room, my sisters & my room together.

I was three years old then, so I can barely remember my time there but there are three friends that I can remember perfectly. One friend was called Kyohei. He lived next door and I always played with him. He has black hair and had no glasses. He was about the same height as me.

The other friend was called Yu. He lived near me but I can't remember exactly where. He also was one year older than me. I played with these two friends almost everyday.

The other friend was a girl. I can't remember her name but one thing I know is that she was my girlfriend! She is in photos with me a lot of times.

The second good friend I made was when we moved to England. This was when I was four years old. We were renting a house and it was in Derby, Aston-on-Trent about 160 km north of London. This house was about the same size as the house ion Japan. There was a living room, kitchen and a hall way downstairs. Upstairs there was dads room, mums rooms, my sisters and my room, and the bathroom. The garden was bigger than the one is Japan and it had a pond.

There I made two good friends. one friend was called John. He's about five years older than me. He had brown hair and was definitely taller than me. I liked playing with mini cars then so whenever I went over to his house, I played with him.

The other friend was called Louisa. She was about eight years older than me and when I played with her it felt like I had a new sister. Louisa had blond hair and it was very long and thin. Louisa was very kind and I liked her very much. By the way John and Louisa are brother and sisters. These two friends were the very first friends that I made in England. We stayed there for one year and then we moved to a different house.

The next house was in Oakwood, still in Derbyshire. This house was about twice as big as the house in Japan. Downstairs, there was a living room and dining room joined together, a kitchen, conservatory, toilet and a garage. Upstairs there were four bedrooms, my brother's and mine together, my sister's, my mum's and my dadŐs. There was a bathroom too. We had two gardens, the front one was about two metres long and two metres wide. The back garden was bigger. It had a pond having three fishes in it but they were all killed by the cats next door. At this house I didn't really make good friends We stayed at this house for three years.

The next house was the last house we lived in England. We only stayed at this house for about one year but it was the most fun time I had.

The house was huge compared to the house in Japan. There was a big living room, a dining room about the half the size of the living room, a play room, a kitchen and a conservatory. Upstairs there were four bedrooms, me and my brother's room, my sister's room, my dad's room and a big bedroom for visitors and my mum 5 room. There were two baths in this house, one was a normal one and the other one was a Jacuzzi. There were three toilets too. One downstairs and the other two upstairs.

In this house there was no pond in the garden. Instead there were strawberries and blackberries which you could eat in the summer.

The friend I made was called William. He lived down the street and I played with him almost everyday. He had blond hair, blue eyes with glasses on, he was the same height as me although he was one year older than me.He had a brother called Thomas.

I hope all my friends won't forget me, even if they do I won't forget them.
