My best friend Robert
My best friend's name is Robert. He has been my friend since 11 July 1985. I first met him when I arrived in Gdynia to study in the Naval Academy. So we have known each other for over sixteen years.
Physically, Robert looks younger than most other men in their mid-thirties. He is tallish, but he is about ten centimetres shorter than I am. So he is one metre and seventy-five centimetres tall and rather slight and slim. He has short black hair and always smiling blue eyes which show his humour and friendliness. He prefers wearing smart clothes, but at home he wears sports and casual clothes. One the nose he has to wear glasses because he has poor eyesight. Thus, I have better vision than Robert and he hasn't got a beard just like me.
As for his personality, Robert is very patient and he hardly ever gets annoyed about anything. However, he tends to be quite stubborn especially when he makes a decision. My friend has one bad habit, he smokes. Robert always seems to be busy doing something. He spends a lot of his free time reading books and modelling miniature sailing ship.
What else? He is married and he has one daughter. He lives in Świnoujście and he is a Polish Navy officer just as I am.
Although I differ from Robert physically and personality, because I in comparison with Robert look older and I am taller and fatter, as well I am more nervous than he is, we are the best friends all over the world. Why? Because we have very similar interests, we like the same books, the same films, and we have the same world view. Additionally, our wives and children are friends too.
All in all, I think Robert is the best friend who I have had in my live. Even though we work and live in different places, we meet each other every week, and our wives even more frequently.
