Band 9.0 Sample Answer :
A family member with who I spend most of my time is my /father/mother/sister/brother/cousin…My father/mother/sister/brother/cousin… is a very considerate and thoughtful person. When I was small, he/she took really good care of me; taught me my lessons and never let me out of his/her sight. Even now, whenever I have a bad day, he/she is always there for me and helps me get through it.
As I have gotten older, my father/mother/sister/brother/cousin… has become my best friend. I can share my interests, my career plans or even things about my love life with them – in fact, anything at all. And during other times, especially when I am down, he/she gives me the encouragement that I need to move on. To me, he/she is a role model who I always look up to/admire/and follow in his/her footsteps. He/she constantly reminds me that I have to give my best in everything I choose to pursue so that I can achieve my goal in this life. Thanks to his/her advice, I have made significant progress in my personal life. Although, of course, I love everyone in my family, because he/she is so special to me, I think that we will always be in touch, just as we do now, almost every day.
