You should say:

Who is that person?

Why do you think he is a good listener?

SAMPLE ANSWER

It is true that being a good listener is a perquisite for being a good speaker. Good listeners are regarded as reasonable and logical while making decisions. I am an impulsive person who struggles to make decisions, my best-friend on the other hand is zen and wise. She goes by Radha and is unexplainably gorgeous with many talents. Her ability to listen is one of the things that draws others to her. Radha listens intently to others and make insightful recommendations. She makes everyone around her feel so at ease and liberated to express their opinions without the fear of being judged or criticised. There was a time when I was struggling to make a decision that would my affect my future.

I was facing trouble coordinating my thoughts so I reached out to different individuals, but sadly, none was able to assist until I got in touch with my bosom friend Radha. I would have gotten in touch with her sooner, but I didn’t want to involve her in the mess because she is majorly busy handlings lot of work. As usual, Radha listened attentively and offered a solution that really reduced my level of tension. I wish I could be like her sometimes. Radha is endowed with many good traits, but her ability to listen is particularly noteworthy. Being able to call Radha my friend is not less than a blessing.
