Band 6+: Talk about a friend you had as a child or teenager. You should say: when and how you first met this friend what things you liked to do together what things you had in common and explain why this friendship was important to you.

I’d like to talk about my best friend Marina who I met in the ninth grade. At that moment we both just transferred to a new school and we’re in the same situation. To be honest we didn’t talk much at first, we knew who each other was but that was about it. The turning point came a couple of months ago and next later when we were assigned a group project I still remember receiving the message from her asking whether I wanted to work with her. So it was, although it was just a simple application, but it meant a lot to me because I was just, I was still trying to settle into the new environment and I didn’t know many people. So we started to work at our school project and then we just chatting and sometimes we chatting we were we had chatting instead with these are already I used to remember for discussions about homework exams and future plans when we stayed after school at the library. What amazed me was the fact that we had a lot of things in common. I remember that we were really obsessed with the Major Dragons and discussed about their songs spending hours. and the most significant to me from this friendship is not that we have a lot of common interests. The most meaningful for me is the fact that we encourage each other.
