CANDIDATE A

Good morning, teachers and friends. It is very important to seek advice from people whom
we have close relationships with during our hard times. In my opinion, I would choose a parent to
confide in.

Parents play a vital role in each and every child’s mental and physical health. In that case, I
would say confiding in parents, especially to a mother would be the best person to confide in. This is
because the way a parent understands how you feel helps us to feel less stressed, and together, they
will give ways to solve the problem in more matured way and feel better. My second point is that it
is also important when and where to confide to our parents. For example, do not disturb them when
they are busy with their work. Hence, talk to them when going for a walk or driving with them so
that we can get a good motivation from them. Lastly, how you confide is also very significant. For
example, use a respectful tone because it will make them listen and take what you say seriously. This
offers comfort in a difficult situation.

In short, a parent would be the best person to confide in because they will never let you
down in any situation.

Good morning, teachers and friends. It is very important to seek advice from people whom
we have close relationships with during our hard times. In my opinion, I would choose a teacher to
confide in.

Teachers play a role of second parents. They shape our mind and help us to recognize our
goals in our lives. Therefore, my first point is, a teacher provides the most valuable advice which
would increase the confidence level of a student in facing their difficulties. Next, teachers will try
their best to solve students problems. For examples, during this pandemic, a lot of teachers have
lent their helping hands to the students who needed help by providing food, money and so on.
Lastly, a friendly teacher cultivates trusts among students, which makes a student share their secrets
with them. This allows a student to have a sense of relief by expressing what is in their mind.
Students also don't have to worry about the secrets they shared with a teacher because they will
always maintain it confidential.

In short, a teacher would be the best person to confide in because they will never let you
down in any situation.

Good morning, teachers and friends. It is very important to seek advice from people whom
we have close relationships with during our hard times. In my opinion, I would choose a friend to
confide in.

My first point is that although a friend couldn’t help us solve our problem, they always offer
support and stay by our side at any cost. They are willing to listen to us at any time without getting
irritated. This brings a huge sense of relief to ourselves. My second point is, friends are always
trustworthy. This allows us to share even our deepest secrets. Lastly, I would choose a friend to
confide in because they are the best at giving comforting advice that will make us feel better, even if
it was not entirely the truth. For example, talking to a friend when we fail a test makes us feel
distress, knowing that friends are always there to cheer us up.

In short, a friend would be the best person to confide in because they will never let you
down in any situation.

CANDIDATE D

Good morning, teachers and friends. It is very important to seek advice from people whom
we have close relationships with during our hard times. In my opinion, I would choose a sibling to
confide in.

My first point is, siblings are the most lasting and closest relationship in every person’s life.
This would allow us to feel comfortable with our siblings to share our difficulties because they would
give advice without judging us. My second point is, siblings keep every embarrassing story, question
or secret safely and will always be our number one cheerleader. Lastly, confiding in siblings is very
easy and convenient. This is because we spend most of our time with them, and we can talk with
them anytime. This helps you not to feel alone.

In short, siblings would be the best person to confide in because they will never let you
down in any situation.
