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 absorbed person actually, which I’d say is a drawback

self-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
