Model Answer 1:
Hi! I am Aria. When I was in the elementary level at St Mary’s Primary School in 
Sydney, I had a friend named Sophia Laurence. She was the most intelligent girl 
in the class. 
We had a deep friendship and that had continued for many consecutive years 
before she and her family moved in Queensland leaving New South Wales. 
Sophia had to leave the school as her father, a policeman, got transferred from 
North Sydney to Queensland. In fact, it was painful for me when I got split with 
Sophia. She was my best friend in the class and even sometimes I visited her 
home while she came to mine on the weekends. Besides, both the families 
turned familiar and a cordial relation grew among the family members. So, the 
departure was sad for both the families.
The pleasures are mine to answer the question as the answer will take me back 
in my primary schooling days the past when I was a kid of five or six years. In 
the first day after admission at St Mary’s Primary School, I was introduced with 
Sophia. I could remember the day clearly. I was early for the class and entered 
at the school premise with my parents. I entered into the empty class and took 
a seat in the first row. I was in the thought that I have to wait for long until the 
class begins. After few moments, a little girl of my age entered and I invited her 
to take the seat by me. We got introduced. You won’t believe that she lived a 
block near from me! After attending the class, Sophia and I went to our house 
without our parents on that day.
We have been friends for seven years until her departure to Queensland. We 
both started the school from the primary level and Sophia left the school when 
we were in the seventh grade. We passed the days with great enjoyment and 
mostly when it was the exam, I used to be at her home to have group study. 
Besides, when she could not go to school or I missed the classes, we used to 
get the lessons prepared for each other. Will you believe that we did not have 
any quarrel for a single day? It was really amazing for us and some of the 
teachers would call us as a pair of jewel for our intelligence, attention on 
studies and the cordial attitudes with each other. 
Sophia and I used to do a lot of things together and watching cartoons was a 
hobby for us. I cannot remember that we have missed any episodes of Tom 
and Jerry, and when it was the time for the show, I used to phone her or she 
made the call to make me aware about that. Besides, we together got

admitted for a painting class and most importantly we participated in different 
sports events in the school. Moreover, skipping was my hobby and Sophia used 
to be the audience of my skipping after the school or at my home. I also liked 
to read comic books with her and we bought different comic books in
