Question 1 prompt: “Who is your best friend? Describe this person and explain why he or she is your best friend. Use details and examples to support your response.”
Your response should have these parts:
1 Introduction (answer and a short description)
2 Lead-in (optional)
3 Reason 1
4 Example/detail
5 Reason 2
6 Example/detail
(7 Conclusion - if there’s still time left)
Sample response:
“My best friend is Lara. We have known each other for 10 years, ever since we met in high school. There are two reasons why she is my best friend. The first reason is that she is supportive. When I wanted to come study in the United States, many people discouraged me and told me not to go. Lara was the only person who motivated and encouraged me to try something new. The second reason is that she is honest. If I am about to make a bad decision, she’ll tell me she thinks its bad even if that’s isn’t what I want to hear. These are the two reasons why Lara is my best friend. I hope everyone can find someone as supportive and honest as her.”

What would you write during the preparation time if you wanted to give this response?
Lara
- supportive - coming to US
- honest - bad decisions

Handout (Oxford) p. 46-47 - Ask these questions to other classmates. Write the classmate’s name and write a checkmark for each part of the response they include. (There are 11 other students and 12 questions, so there can only be one person whom you ask two different questions.)
