How do you know if someone is a true friend or not? Finding someone you really
click with can be quite a challenge. A true friend is someone who you can rely on
when you need it. They treat you with respect and being around them makes you
feel good. They have your best interest at heart. You feel comfortable being
yourself with them and you can trust them.

A true friend…

1. Makes you feel good

You should feel good hanging out with a friend. And after you’ve hung out, you
should leave with a good feeling. If they put you down or make you feel bad
on a regular basis, there’s something important missing in your relationship.

2. Accepts you for who you are

You don’t have to pretend to be someone else to fit in or feel accepted when
you’re with a true friend. They don’t try to change you or make you behave in a
certain way. With your friend, you can put down your mask, relax, and be yourself.

3. Is honest and trustworthy

Honesty is an important part of any healthy friendship. It’s important that you can
trust your friend to tell you the truth and keep their promises. If you notice that
they’re lying to you or to others, it’s a sign they’re not that trustworthy.
Bài mẫu IELTS Speaking về chủ đề Friends
Describe one of your best friends.

You should say:

● What this person looks like

● When and where you met this person

● What you do when you are together

I’m going to talk about Hazel, who is one of my closest friends ever.

Actually, Hazel is her English name; her Vietnamese name is Ly. But I’ll use Hazel
because I know she likes that. She’s one year younger than me. We used to live
next door, but now we live in the same flat.

I want to talk about Hazel for several reasons.

First, she’s very kind. She’s willing to give others a hand, and she always stands by
me whenever I need help. Last year, I had a high fever and had to be hospitalised
for a week. She took a week off to take care of me.

Second, she’s a patient person. Unlike me who can get angry very easily, Hazel’s
able to stay calm in almost every situation. In terms of being patient, I am learning a
lot from her. I remember last week, both of us had to wait for another friend for
nearly two hours because he got up late and got stuck in traffic. During those two
hours, I kind of lost my temper and constantly complained. I was pacing back and
forth, while Hazel was just sitting there reading a book. At first, I was really angry
and wondered why she was so relaxed in that situation, but afterwards, she said to
me: ‘You need to learn how to enjoy every minute of your life’. Then, I realised that I
was wasting my time doing pointless things, and from that moment, I knew that I
needed to learn to control my temper so that I could enjoy little things in life.

I’m so lucky to have a friend like her.

So, if I had to talk about one of my best friends, it would have to be Hazel.
