All right. I would tell you about a friend who is important to me. My friend is called Harry. He is Australian, but I was very surprised when I learned he is Aussie. He is also a British and New Zealand citizen. I met him when I was in my first year here, and I got a job where he was a barista. I worked in the kitchen. The business is a tiny one, so everyone is pretty close to each other. At that time, I was close to everyone, but especially to him, I mean Harry. He is important to me because when I came here, my English was so bad. I could only say things like hello and how are you? But I tried to talk to him a lot, and every time I struggled or had any problem with English, he always helped me. He always explained things to me, explained the grammar, and expanded my vocabulary, which I really appreciate. Moreover, when I had any problem, I remember I got sick one time and had to go to the hospital. At that time, my English was not very good. I mean, it's not very good now either, but it's better than before. He took me to the hospital and managed everything for me. He helped me talk to the doctor and organized my insurance for me as well.
