So, I want to talk about my closest friend, Chachnoza, and we have known each other for about 10 or 11 years. We first met in primary school, but to be honest, we didn’t hit it off immediately. In fact, at the beginning, we were more like just mutual acquaintances. We knew each other, but we weren’t that close. Over time though our relationship completely changed and strengthened. Now I would describe her as my soulmate and staunchest Ellie. We have such a strong bond that sometimes I feel we are insupportable. Whenever we spend time together, whether we are studying, walking or just chatting over tea, we get on like a whole house on fire. One of her qualities that I admire most is her scrupulous honesty. She has never been too faced towards me and I can always rely on her loyalty and unwavering support. She is also very considerate, she listens carefully when I share my problems and gives advice without being critical. I also hold her in very high regard because she is incredibly hardworking and kind-hearted, Even when life gets tough, she never lets our friendship break down or turn sour. We had our ups and downs like any close friends, but those moments only make our bones stronger. If I have to give an example about three months ago, I was extremely hesitant to start preparing for dial sixem again. And I thought I wasn’t capable of learning English. And I wouldn’t be able to get the score I needed. I kept telling myself I wasn’t smart enough or fluent enough in English, but Shachnoza believed in me. She had already taken the exam, so she knew what it required. So she shared her study materials, encouraged me every single day, gave me useful advice, and even practiced speaking with me. So when I felt lazy or frustrated, she reminded me of my goals and things like, you are much more capable than you think, Lazyza. Keep going so that’s why I love her. I love all qualities of her.

So, I want to talk about my closest friend, Chachnoza, and we have known each other for about 10 or 11 years. We first met in primary school, but to be honest, we didn't hit it off immediately. In fact, at the beginning, we were more like just mutual acquaintances. We knew each other, but we weren't that close. Over time, though, our relationship completely changed and strengthened. Now I would describe her as my soulmate and staunchest ally. We have such a strong bond that sometimes I feel we are inseparable. Whenever we spend time together, whether we are studying, walking, or just chatting over tea, we get on like a house on fire. One of her qualities that I admire most is her scrupulous honesty. She has never been two-faced towards me, and I can always rely on her loyalty and unwavering support. She is also very considerate; she listens carefully when I share my problems and gives advice without being critical. I also hold her in very high regard because she is incredibly hardworking and kind-hearted. Even when life gets tough, she never lets our friendship break down or turn sour. We have had our ups and downs like any close friends, but those moments only make our bond stronger.
