Your Best Friend
Tell me about one of your friends.
You should say:
who the friend is and how you first met him/her
what you enjoy doing together
what her personality is like
and explain why your friendship is special
.
·
Name? When where did we meet?
·
How often do we see each other? What do we have in common?
·
His qualities
·
A memory
·
The future
Let me tell you about my best friend. His name is Jeff and we met in high-school where we
used to be classmates
.
Jeff is my best friend because I can really count on him
:
he's the person
I trust most. He's extremely considerate
.
He's very thoughtful. He always cares about other
people.
We often get together to play basketball. We hang out on the weekend. We have a lot of
things in common. We both like sports; we both love to watch the NBA and especially the
Houston Rockets. We sometimes play online games too, or watch movies together.
Jeff is a very good listener. He's very enthusiastic and always optimistic. Whenever I have a
problem at school, he's always there to cheer me up
.
He's fun to be with!
Last year, we had to study hard for the college entrance examination and he helped me with
the science subjects
.
He's a hard-working student and he can be serious too because he wants to
become a lawyer, and he knows what his priorities are.
Next year, I will go to America to get a Bachelor's degree and Jeff will stay in China, but I
know that we will keep in touch through emails and messages
.
And even if we don't get to see
each other often, we both know we can rely on each other and THIS is true friendship
!
