51. Describe a success your friend has achieved 
You should say: 
- who your friend is 
- what the success was 
- what he or she did 
- how you felt about the success 
Wow, I tend to hang out with (spend time with) a quite successful crowd, but 
I will try to focus on just one for now. Well, actually, I haven't known this friend 
for very long, even less than a year, but I feel especially fond of (like) her. 
Although she has studied very hard and has endured a lof of parental pressure, 
she still navigates through life with a smile on her face and a laid-back attitude. 
Let me tell you more about her business success. 
Since she is a big fan of cozy (cute; friendly) cafes, she always dreamt of 
having one of her own. As the universities aren't the greatest in her country, she 
fortunately had the opportunity to go abroad (go to another country) to France

to complete her Business Degree. Additionally, she was able to perfect her 
English and has become completely fluent in French, which she hadn’t 
previously known. All of these steps aided her to open her very own cafe and 
restaurant right in the center of her city! Since foreigners are the main 
customers, she is now able to communicate with and tend to nearly all 
customers, no matter where they come from. This makes her restaurant stand 
out (be remembered; be different)! 
I felt really proud of her, as I know she worked very hard for this. To support 
her, I was there on opening night, and even brought some friends of mine. 
Whenever possible, I recommend her restaurant to others and try to bring as 
much business as possible to her. It fills me with joy (makes me happy) to 
see my friends achieve their dreams!
