Describe a person you would like to study or work with. v. 1
Describe a person you would like to study or work with. You should say: who this person is how you know him/her what you would like to study or do with him/her and explain why you would like to study or work with this person. [You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish. ]   Model Answer 1: It always helps if you are in good company, whether it is with a fellow student or a fellow worker, as it almost always makes your life a little easier. And, I am lucky that I have always found such good companies in my life as a student. Today, I would like to talk about one such person whom I have known for more than 3 years as one of my best friends at my university, and we both study in the same Major of Chemistry. Anyway, even though Timothy Chris and I know each other really well, we never really had a chance to work or study together, even though I know that we would make a great team together. So, the other day, when I told Timothy how we could benefit from each other by studying together, even though we may have different schedules, he gladly agreed with me. As a result, now we spend a great deal of time in our chemistry class studying in the same group as well as in the library, let alone spending countless of hours in the chemistry lab, doing experiments. I would like to study with Timothy primarily because we go along really nicely, having a great understanding of each other. Besides, I am not really very good at “physical chemistry” since it involves a lot of math. In this kind of situation, Timothy can really help me since he is really good at math. I would also like to study with him because of his great helping attitude whether one is having a tough time understanding simple things or writing a thesis paper. On top of that, Timothy likes to talk about an array of issues, such as history and politics, just like me. Finally, Timothy is also in inter-university debate competition like me. So, I am pretty sure that if I study together with Timothy, it will not only benefit me with my university curriculum but also in extra-curricular activities.

Model Answer 1: It always
helps
if you are in
good
company
, whether it is with a fellow student or a fellow worker, as it almost always
makes
your life a
little
easier. And, I am lucky that I have always found such
good
companies
in my life as a student.
Today
, I would like to talk about one such
person
whom I have known for more than 3 years as one of my best friends at my university, and we both
study
in the same Major of Chemistry.

Anyway
,
even though
Timothy Chris and I know each
other
really
well
, we never
really
had a chance to work or
study
together,
even though
I know that we would
make
a
great
team together.
So
, the
other
day, when I
told
Timothy how we could benefit from each
other
by studying together,
even though
we may have
different
schedules, he
gladly
agreed
with me.
As a result
,
now
we spend a
great
deal of time in our chemistry
class
studying in the same group as
well
as in the library,
let
alone spending
countless of hours
in the chemistry lab, doing experiments.

I would like to
study
with Timothy
primarily
because
we go along
really
nicely
, having a
great
understanding of each
other
.
Besides
, I am not
really
very
good
at “physical chemistry” since it involves
a lot of
math. In this kind of situation, Timothy can
really
help
me since he is
really
good
at math. I would
also
like to
study
with him
because
of his
great
helping attitude whether one is having a tough time understanding simple things or writing a thesis paper.
On top of that
, Timothy likes to talk about an array of issues, such as history and politics,
just
like me.
Finally
, Timothy is
also
in inter-university debate competition like me.
So
, I am pretty sure that if I
study
together with Timothy, it will not
only
benefit me with my university curriculum
but
also
in extra-curricular activities.
