5 - Your best friends
🗣️ IELTS Speaking Sample (Band 6.0)
Describe your best friend. You should say:
Who he or she is
How you met
What things you do together
And explain why he or she is your best friend.
Well, today I’d like to talk about my closest friend, Pierre.
He isn’t Vietnamese – actually he was born in Vietnam but due to war, he lost his family when he was 4.
He lived in orphanage at Gò Vấp (SOS center). One day, one couple of foreigher (french) take him to go to Paris so he left from Vietnam from there, until year 2000 he come back to VN to find the bioligical relatives.
Pierre used to be a millionaire thanks to a small software company he set up in Europe. Unfortunately, he was trapped by some girls. ...
Instead of giving up, he flew to Việt Nam to look for his biological relatives, because he had been left in a Go Vấp orphanage during the final years of the war. Until recently he didn’t even know his Vietnamese name. I gave one name for him: NGUYEN VAN CHO...
What I admire most is his optimism.
Even though his bank account is nearly empty now, he teaches French for free at weekends and helps the orphanage where he once lived.
To sum up, Pierre has shown me that real success is not how much you own but how many hearts you touch. I’m lucky to call him my best friend.”
