21. Model answer
1. Who is your best friend? How did you first meet?
I met my best friend, Nam, last year. We were in the same group in an English class. When we
started to talk, I realized that we had a lot in common. Both of us like playing football and reading
adventurous novels.
2. What does your friend look like?
Nam is a tall guy with a square face and big brown eyes. His smile can knock down any girl.
3. What do you like about your friend?
What I like most about Nam is he always listens to my problems and keeps my secrets. When I
am upset, I often come to him because he knows how to cheer me up. We also see eye to eye
on most things so we never fall out with each other.
5. What do you like to do with your friend?
- In our free time, we often play football and go to the library. Sometimes, at weekends, we go
camping/ go fishing/study/ play chess/ play soccer/ cook dinner/ go to the movies/ talk
about our favorite novels .
He is the best friend ever and I hope that our friendship will never end.
(I like to go shopping. We see eye to eye on fashion/to have a chat with my friends. We talk about
everything in our daily lives…)
