    SAMPLE ANSWERS
    Well, when I read this topic, I suddenly relate to a friend I happened to know two months ago.
    His name is Long and he’s two year older than me. We first met in the English class and he was
    sitting next to me on the very first day.
    At first, I appeared to be a shy person as he always looked at the ground. Every time someone
    in the class told a joke, he only smiled gently and didn’t have any comment on what our
    classmates said. I found him weird and distant a little bit, though. However, a week after that, I
    came across him at a coffee shop, sitting alone and immersing himself in a book that I love. I
    irresistibly asked him to sit with him and started to discuss the content of the book. As soon as
    we talk about the book, I realised that he wasn’t as strange as he appeared to be before.
    Instead, he was a bookaholic and had wide background knowledge. I guess he put more
    impression on me since that moment. As the talk continued, he revealed himself as a kind
    person and a good listener. Moreover, we have a lot in common from mindset to core values of
    life. Both of us love Led Zeppelin and dream of the day to travel around the world. We even
    made plan to travel together next year!
    After the lovely conversation at the coffee shop, we became friends on Facebook and we have
    chatted with each other ever since. He has given lots of valuable advice to me and thanks to
    those, I have sorted many problems in my life.
    I have never thought that I could find a soulmate like Long. He makes me feel that I have
    someone who always supports you no matter what my decision is. Moreover, he expands my
    perspective about a certain aspect of life and I become more mature under his guide. I guess
    this I why I always feel happy when I think about him.
