EXAMPLE: TALK ABOUT A
RELATIVE
The person that I’m closest to in my family is definitely my
mum. We’ve got on and we hardly ever fall out. I know that’s
unusual! She’s really outgoing and sociable-she’s always
going out with friends and colleagues. Everyone thinks she’s
good fun. I look up to her because she’s so hard working- she
never sits still and she works long hours. She can be a bit
impatient, though – she gets annoyed when her colleagues
aren’t as efficient as her. I take after her in that – I’m
impatient, too. And she’s over-sensitive, often getting
offended for seemingly no reason.


DESCRIBE A CLOSE FRIEND
You should say:
How long you have known this person
How you met
What kind of person he/she is
And explain why you like him/her


SPEAKING SAMPLE

How long you have known this person?
One of my best friends is a guy called John. I met him in
Vietnam where we were in the same study group. I guess it
was over 3 years ago, so, yes, we’ve known each other for a
long time.


SPEAKING SAMPLE
How we met?
We got to know each other on the tennis courts because the
first few days of the course were so boring that we both
decided we’d be better off outside playing tennis.


SPEAKING SAMPLE
Why kind of person he is?
He’s very active and a sporty type, involved in hiking and
mountain biking. He’s also a very determined person. When
he gets into something, he gives one hundred per cent. And
he changes passions often. That makes him a bit of a selfabsorbed person actually, which I’d say is a drawback.


SPEAKING SAMPLE
Why you like him?
As for why I like him, well, he’s actually quite different from
me. He often suggests doing something and I’d go along with
it and because I’m laid back I never felt overwhelmed by him.
We’ve never fallen out or anything
