Friend

When I was a child, I always stayed home alone because my parents were always busy. Then, they got divorced and I lived with my father and stepmother. They treated me very well but nothing changed, I still stayed home alone. At this time, my only friends were books, comics, cartoons, painting and music. Therefore, I didn't really have a human friend who is a human but I was happy about this (because I lived in a perfect world of imagination world, so why did I have to care about a real life).

When I was in secondary school, I still kept that opinion although I had a lot of friends, I didn't really think of them as friends. I tried to kept a average score of 8/10 (because my dad always said " Comics make your studying worse and worse", so I tried to study and showed it was motivation). My dream at this time was to be a comic's artist so I painted all the time: at home, when I felt bored in my class,... Oh, I was really innocent at that time, wasn't I? >"<

At that time, I didn't understand why one of the smartest girls in my school usually came to my place and talked so much. She talked about a lot of things, from movies and music to her family but I didn't really like her or care what she talked about. In my thinking, I had a pet - the smartest girl in my school. My school had a girl, she was good at everything from studying to sport and following her were the smartest students in my school and I didn't like those who always think "Why my score is worse than her/him?" or "How can I improve my score", they didn't know how to enjoy themselves. And a talkative girl was in this club who was too talkative, that's why I didn't like her. Finally, I realized nobody in my class played or talked with her (except me) because of children's conflict and she had a complex family. After I knew about that, I didn't hate her any more, except when she talked to much. Then I recognized she was a good girl, a good friend, and the reason why she was hated was her frankness, and some people hate those who are smarter than them and others like me, always "Judge the book by its cover". Besides, she made a lot of things for me and I can't tell you everything. Now we are best friends and usually go out together.

I can't arrange my ideas and this story is too long (I had to cut a lots) so I think it has a lot of vocabulary and grammar faults (sorry, my English isn't very good). Please fix it for me. Thanks so much.

Your English is better than you think, Nguyet. It's always difficult to express complex thoughts and you are doing it well. Try to simplify your sentences by keeping them shorter. Pay attention to tenses, too. Well done.
