Sample answer
about 125 words · 1 minuteI would like to speak about my best friend today. My best friend is named Alex, and we have known each other for five years. Alex is a very kind and cheerful person who always makes me smile. He is tall and has short dark hair and friendly eyes. Whenever I feel sad or worried, Alex listens carefully and helps me feel better. We share many similar hobbies and enjoy spending time together on the weekends. Usually, we go for long walks in the local park, play computer games, or study English together. I really appreciate our friendship because Alex is trustworthy and honest. Having a loyal friend makes my life much happier, and I hope we remain close friends for many years to come.
