Band 7 Answer

I would like to talk about a person I know who shows his feelings openly, and that is my best friend. He is very honest about his emotions and never hides how he feels, whether he is happy, sad, or angry. For example, when something excites him, he laughs loudly or talks enthusiastically. Similarly, if he is upset or disappointed, he expresses it clearly instead of keeping it inside. I admire this quality because it makes it easy for others to understand him. Being open about his feelings also helps him build strong relationships with people around him. Sometimes I try to be more like him, but it is not easy because I usually keep my feelings to myself. I think showing emotions openly is important because it creates trust and understanding among friends.

Band 8 Answer

The person I want to describe is my best friend, who is very open about his feelings. He expresses his emotions freely and honestly, whether he is joyful, frustrated, or excited. One thing I find admirable is that he never pretends to feel something he does not; his reactions are always genuine. For instance, when he achieves something, his excitement is contagious, and when he is disappointed, he talks about it openly instead of hiding it. I think this quality makes him highly approachable and helps him maintain strong and meaningful relationships. His openness also encourages others around him to share their feelings without fear. I have learned a lot from him about being honest and expressing myself more clearly. While it can sometimes be overwhelming to see someone so expressive, I feel it creates a positive and trusting environment. Overall, I believe that people who show their feelings openly are emotionally intelligent and capable of building deeper connections with others.
