[00:14.57]Two of my best friends are Eric and Danny.

[00:24.06]In fact, they are complete opposites!
[00:28.63]For example,
[00:30.67]Eric is very hard working and patient.
[00:34.72]He always does his homework.
[00:37.42]He is quite serious and he doesn't laugh a lot.
[00:42.13]He is very careful with his things.
[00:45.50]His room is always very clean and tidy.
[00:50.91]Danny, on the other hand,
[00:53.79]is very lazy and impatient².
[00:57.17]He hates doing his homework.
[01:00.11]He's always telling jokes.
[01:02.92]He's a very funny boy.
[01:05.31]Danny is very careless with his things and,
[01:08.67]as you can imagine, his bedroom is very messy³!
