I want to talk about a friend of mine who I met at my cousin’s birthday party. We were actually sitting next to each other at the table. And while he was talking to another friend of my cousin, I realized that he studied engineering. I was an engineering student and I’m an engineering student as well. So I saw it as an opportunity to talk with someone in this party that I had the same interests. Because that day was not interesting to me and it wasn’t going well because I couldn’t find anyone that I could talk in this party. And I enjoyed my time. And then I asked him which field of engineering does he study. And I learned that it’s computer engineering. And I was thrilled even more because I haven’t accompanied him since then as well. And we started to talk about his university and we compared my university with his university. And the conversation was actually very interesting. And I enjoyed the conversation very much as he was very joyful and positive. He was smiling all the time while I was talking. So it was amazing to meet with him and spend time together. And I still talk with him by the way. We have a very strong friendship. Yeah, that’s it.

I want to talk about a friend of mine who I met at my cousin's birthday party. We were actually sitting next to each other at the table. While he was talking to another friend of my cousin, I realized that he studied engineering. I am an engineering student as well, so I saw it as an opportunity to talk with someone at this party who had the same interests. That day was not interesting to me, and it wasn't going well because I couldn't find anyone to talk to at the party. I enjoyed my time. I asked him which field of engineering he studied, and I learned that it's computer engineering. I was thrilled even more because I hadn't met anyone in that field before. We started to talk about his university and compared my university with his. The conversation was very interesting, and I enjoyed it very much as he was very joyful and positive. He was smiling all the time while we were talking. It was amazing to meet him and spend time together. I still talk with him, by the way. We have a very strong friendship. Yeah, that's it.
