I used to like to be alone and didn't feel like talking to anyone.But when I met Robin and Dick,I found that they were really good people.Then gradually we became closer and finally became good friends.Thanks to them,I'm talkative and outgoing now,and I have made many other friends.I talk and play with my friends every day and each day I feel happy.
