Vocabulary close friend: a very good friend enjoy each other’s company

IELTS Speaking sample about Friends
Part 1
Do you have a lot of friends?


Not a lot, but I have a few very close friends … I think it is better to have one reliable friend that a thousand fair-weather friends… Although it’s not easy to meet someone you have a lot in common with, I think managed to do it.


How often do you see your friends?


As often as I can… We enjoy each other’s company, so we see each other almost daily… What’s more, we live very close to each other, so it’s easy for us to meet up.


Is there anything special about your friends?


Oh, that’s an interesting question… I guess there are lot of things… For instance, my best friend can draw unbelievable art, good enough to sell. And my other friend is really keen on cooking… But most importantly, they are people, who are near and dear to my heart.


For how long do you know them?


I’ve known my friends since my childhood… We’ve been through thick and thin together… Probably that’s why we’re so close now.
Part 2 
Now, have a look at the card and prepare a monologue.
Describe your friend. You should say:
– Who is he/she
– When did you meet
– Why is he/she so close to you
and say what do you like about your friend the most
 
I would like to talk about my friend William… I wouldn’t say he’s my best friend, but I would rather call him as a good friend of mine… I met him last year at local sports centre. It turned out that we were studying at the same college… Then, miraculously, I got into the same class with him and we got on like a house on fire… He’s the sweetest person I’ve ever met! He’s smart, helpful, caring, funny and somehow good-looking… And most importantly, we have a lot in common and he understands me as nobody else does.
