2. Sample answer
Now Id like to talk about a friend that I really like to spend
my time with, whose name is Windy, one of my best friends
who had great influence on me during my university years.
Well, first of all I think I should start my mentioning the
situation how I know Wendy. I met her the very first day of my
university period when we was waiting for our mentor to
come. I was very shy coz that was the first time Id been in
the city and Wendy was the one who broke the ice to talk to
me in such an incredibly friendly way that made me killed to
be her best mate and it turned out not only did we become

soul mates but we also ended up being flatmates for more

than 4 years.
As we have many common interests so when we get
together, we often do things that we both enjoy like eating,
shopping and travelling. Or sometime just simple happiness
of lying next to each other in the Central Park and confide
about daily stuff, which makes us realize how much we were
on the same page.
Finally, if I still have time, I want to talk about the reason why
I like spending time with her. Firstly because of the positive
vibes that I feel out of her. She is one of the persons, rather
the first person in my life whom I have met having a very
positive attitude towards the life, I mean, I always found her
in jubilant mood in spite of the fact that she had a very
troublesome incident in her life, which has contributed a lot in
the way I have started looking at life. I believe that Ill
become more broad minded and tolerant thanks to her.
Secondly, Wendy is the good friend who always extends her
helping hands when Im in need, I mean she is the sounding
board when I have problems, when I feel under the weather.
All in all, good friendship, understanding and common
interests makes us close friends and those are the major
factors for what I like to spend time with her.
