Band 7 Answer

I would like to talk about a friend of mine named Sira, who is very open about her feelings. She always shares what she thinks and feels without hiding anything. For example, if she is happy, she laughs and talks excitedly, and if she is upset, she tells people about it. I like this quality because it makes it easy to understand her and get close to her. Sira is also very friendly and honest, and I feel comfortable sharing my own feelings with her. Her openness helps our friendship grow stronger, and I always enjoy spending time with her.

Band 8 Answer

The person I want to describe is my friend Sira, who is very open and expressive about her emotions. She communicates her thoughts and feelings honestly, whether she is excited, frustrated, or sad. One thing I admire about her is that she never pretends to feel something she does not; her reactions are always genuine. This openness makes her very approachable and encourages everyone around her to share their feelings as well. I have learned a lot from Sira about being honest and expressing myself more clearly. Her emotional transparency also strengthens our friendship and builds trust. Spending time with her is always refreshing because she creates a positive and supportive environment. I think people like Sira, who show their feelings openly, are emotionally intelligent and inspire others to be more open too.
