August 8, 2022 IELTS Research

We all make friends in our lives as we grow. There are some who remain our friends, some we lose touch, either ways, people who do come in our lives, come to change it, sometimes a little, sometimes forever. But, there are some friends we meet either through some previous family relations or we become so close to them that even our families come closer. Today, to talk and honor such friendships which bring two families together, let us have a look at the cue card that talks about a family friend you still remember.

Describe a friend of your family you remember from your childhood.

You should say:

who this person was

how you & your family knew this person

how often this person visited your house

and explain why you remember this person.

Sample Answer 1:

I remember living in a official colony, since my father was a government employee. Most of the people knew each other and gathered together for festivals and daily for evening walks. One such family was of Mr.Pancholi. They used to live next to our house and we both belonging to the same native place came upon to gel with each other.

Pancholi’s had three kids and the one that I became really good friends with was Sakshi Pancholi. Initially, we both had some sort of rivarly between us and did not liked each others company. However, with passing time as we came to know each other, we became really good friends. So good of friends that people started calling us soul sisters.

It was during that time, we would go at each others house almost daily. Sometimes to study together, sometimes eat together and then there were times that we even slept at each others house. It was a great relationship that we both shared and the families loved it. However, soon her father got transfered and they had to leave. When she left, I recall it was for the first time that I felt emptiness in my life.

We had been friends for almost three years and I was in class 3rd or may be 4th. The reason I still remember her is because, I have never been one of those person who had many friends. It was for the first time that I had a very good friend. And after her it was only in class 11th that I again made friend. She has been my first best friend till date.

Sample Answer 2:

As a child, I had many friends but there was this boy, I can remember, his name was Prateek. We did really became good friends and it was later that we realized that our families knew each other and we are sort of family friends. Prateek’s father was actually my father’s team mate and they both knew each other very well.

We both bonded over a match of cricket and then went on to talk about books and cars and famous people and almost everything. Although we were really good friends, I don’t recall having visted each others house very frequent. The only times we would go to the other person’s house would be when we had to call each other for playing game or for cycling or for studying. Most often we used to go to the public library to study because there we got not only silence but also some great books.

The reason I can still remember this person is because we truly had a great bond over the period of four years. We would go about talk and cycle and play and then study. There were times when we would fight with each other and sometimes fight for each other. It was an amazing relation and we still are in touch. However, the relation is not the way it used to be, but however it is, it surely is great.
