33. Exam link
Speak about the person you know.
You should say:
Who this person is and how you first made friends
What he / she looks like
What he/ she is like and if he / she has always had the qualities you talk about
What traits of his / her character you especially appreciate
What annoying habits he / she has
And explain why you made friends with the person you spoke about.
Example:
I could start off by saying that I have got many friends but this time I’d like to speak about Alex, my group mate. The first time I met him was three years ago when I entered the University. On the first day of my studies not knowing where the library was I sort of got lost in the University building. I happened to come across Alex in the long corridor (at that time I didn’t know his name, of course). We started talking and he willingly helped me to find the way. So in fact, I’ve known him for three years already.
The first thing I should mention is his appearance. Though he is in his early 20s he does not look his age, perhaps, because he wears his dark straight hair short cut. He is tall, quite well-built and athletic which makes him especially handsome. As well as that, his face is fine featured with a button nose and almond-shaped eyes, which gives him a stern look.
Another point which I could also add is his character. He is very outgoing, assertive and ambitious – the sort of person who might run a large corporation. An example of this is the fact that he is the president of the University debating society. Although people tend to find him rather pompous and conceited, to me he simply seems full of confidence. For instance, he is much more likely to say “I can do it” than “I’m the best”. Though it is true that sometimes he comes across as stubborn due to his habit of refusing to admit he is wrong in any disagreement. But I must admit that he hasn’t always been so assertive as he is now. Some years ago I remember his pondering over every little thing a lot before making a decision. Nowadays he never hesitates. On top of that I could also add that the most special thing about him is his enthusiasm about everything he takes up. His enthusiastic approach to life is so inspiring, it appeals to me. Besides, one of his best qualities is that he’s a really good communicator. In fact, he is a party animal.
Yet, there are some things that infuriate me. He is in the habit of listening to music loud while sitting for exams. Also, he is a bit repetitious. He can tell the same story several times and ask the same question which makes me feel nervous and bored.
All in all, when I’m asked why I made friends with Alex I will say that he is one of those few people you can always rely on and his optimistic approach to life can’t but inspire you to enjoy life with its ups and downs.
