Describe One of Your Best Friends- IELTS Cue Card

Sample Answer

A friend is a word that fills you with mirth every time you envisage a face that is close to you and the bond that you share with that person. I have been fortunate enough to have some amazing friends all my life till now, with each one of them being unique and special. The friend that I choose to talk about is my best friend, Kriz. I can safely say that he is one of the most virtuous, jocund and, at the same time, highly sensitive souls I ever met.

I vividly remember the day when I met him for the first time and that too with pangs of laughter at some random, not-so-funny discussion. That was how we started bonding well. At times, you come across people who vibe with you and resonate at the same frequency. However, Kriz is a person who is almost congruent with me in all aspects. Right from laughing at the same jokes and holding a similar viewpoint over things to having a philosophical conversation, we do it all. Over and above all, he is an amazing soul and if ‘stay firm to the ground’ had a face, it would be Kriz’s face. Such a humble human being is difficult to find.

Kriz and I have always stood in solidarity with each other in the darkest of times and having such a perspicacious person is bliss. I, perhaps, can’t ever share a similar energy with anyone else and that’s why we are best friends.
