So, I’d like to talk about my friend who has had a strong influence on me. His name is Aziz and I first met him when we were studying at the same school a few years ago. What makes him unique is that he is extremely talented and hardworking. For example, he is really good at singing and he has strong aptitude for both singing and writing songs and often performed at school events and local competitions. First, the first time I heard him sing, I was honestly surprised because his voice sounded very professional. However, what impressed me even more than his talent was his personality. He is a kind of person who constantly helps others. For instance, he often helps younger students practice for competition or school performance. Over time, he has achieved a lot. He even started helping his family around the small business of the school which shows how responsible and major he is. So what I admire most about him is that he is always learning new things and setting new goals for himself because of his determination and positive attitude. He inspires many people around him, including me.
