Hey Martin, I´m very grateful for this video. I´ve learnt a lot of new words, expressions and linking words. In my opinion you can explain the topics very well. Thank you and keep it up. 10/10
I am going to tell you about my mother. She is very beautiful not only by heart but by nature too. I have inherited kindness and discipline from her. She is slim. Her hair are of brown colours. Her hair are very long because she never used to trim off her hair at all. She is very kind and sympathetic. She really has a good sense of humour. She is a kind of moody because she gets angry very easily and then after scolding she loves a lot too. I starting taking her grumpy but when she told me her optimistic views I really got inspired by her. She says that the past is to forget because you are not to that direction.she helps everyone in the house. She used to tell me the stories of my childhood when I didn't eat food properly and she had to plan a treat for me.
Thanks for sharing your response! Here are a few suggestions for your writing: 1) 'Her hair is brown,' not, 'Her hair are of brown colours'. 2) '...because she never usually trims off her hair...' not, '...because she never used to trim off her hair...'. 3) 'She is kind of moody...' not, 'She is a kind of moody'. Hope this helps you!

Thank you so much for your lesson. Today, I want to tell about my best friend, Nhung. Nhung is a pretty girl. She has a brown skin, a black hair and a lovely smile. She looks a bit like a younger version of my idol, Celine Dion but she never admit about that thing. I’ve known her for 5 years, we have the same class at high school. Everytime we meet up, we have lots of topic to talk about because Nhung and me have lots in common: the same music, the same films, the same sports and so on. She is so kind, honest and extremely hard. Next month, she is going to Japan to study because last year, she received a scholaship’s Japanese. I am proud of her.

Now, I am going to talk about my friend, parichay. Though he is medium in size, he is very slim with his long curly hair. He is a really a considerate person as well as diligent in his work. In addition, he is not only generous but also very cheerful. As he is dedicated in his duty, he is very straightforward too. When he meets with me, he always first offers me for a hug. We have known each other for 8 years, since admission coaching for university. Thereafter, we got chance in the same University as well as in same subject. He is a fantastic programmer too. When I faced a problem in any programming related topic, he tried to overcome my difficulty. We get on well because we have a similar attitude and thoughts about life and we always have lots to talk about.

Vience is one of my good friends. He is tall and bury, not only looks like a bodhisattva, but also has a compassionate heart like a bodhisattva. Being a traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, his superb medical skills made him gained a lot of praise from his patients. We have know each other for years since he came to Australia. Many common interests, like medicine, history, philosophy, etc. got us met to chat sometimes when we had spare time. He went back to China to after his medical career last year, then we have not communicated for over one year, but I missed him a lot. Hope to see him some day later.

I'm going to talk about my brother. He's well-built and quite tall. He has short, dark brown hair and actually, he really looks like me, people usually ask if we are twins, although he's younger than me. He always makes me laugh, he's a very funny person and everybody feels comfortable around him. Now we're living a bit far from each other, but it's always nice when we meet up: we watch series and geek movies. However, he's so moody! But I couldn't live without him, we get on really well.
My friend is adnan, he is about twenty five years old. He is tall and well built. He plays many sports like football, cricket and table tennis. I believe these games play a major role in his strong physique. He have short black hairs with army style haircut. He is very friendly and welcoming to meet and make new friends. He has this positive energy that he makes you more passionate about life and realise that he is there for you when you need him. Normally he keeps quite but he can change atmosphere and all your pain go away with a single joke. Sometimes i wish i could be better as him because he makes feel other people so special to him. He is a generous guy he does spend his money for betterment of poor and he takes good care for his guests, i never seen anyone leaving him without having a tea, coffee or juice in a sitting. Apart of his social pros, he was hard working student in college and had passed with good grades. He was always helping other students with their assignments and preparing for exams. He was teachers favourite in all classes. Even now in his professional life he is well managed person and a team leader. He is very provocative and has new ideas to develop business to great heights. He is married with three kids. Two boys and one girl youngest of them. He really loves her and after office he spent most of his time in home with family. Its sad that i only see him now in some party or in a conference sometimes. We had great moments of life together for example once we went to hiking in mountain trails, i was a bit out of my shape and lousy in those days, everyone laughed at me and made jokes. But he was there all the times encouraging me and helping me to make me realize that i am not the quitter. It was him who kept me motivated throughout our time together. I wish my friend great success and happiness in his life. He is truly a friend indeed.

I am going to tell you about my friend, Jenny. She is medium height and a little bit over-weighted, with black hair and small eyes. Since she is a considerate and cheerful person, we have become friends since we met at university. Actually, we have a lot in common. For example, we both like watching TV series and sampling the local cuisines. Everytime, when we meet up, we always have many things to talk about. I still remember when I was sick at university, it was her who sent me to hospital and accompanied me for the whole night regardless of the examination on the next day. I am so grateful that I have her to be my friend. If only she could work at the same city like me then we could hand out everyday!

I'm going to talk about a great friend of mine called Andrew and who happens to be my husband. We met at university about ten years ago. He's medium height and well-built with short black hair. Andrew is very humble, calm and down to earth. He's such an honest guy too. I remember one time he transferred money via western union but later realised that the teller had sent much more than she was supposed to send. He insisted on covering the loss which the cashier had incurred. Andrew's nature has modelled me into the kind of Nurse that I am today. Over time, I've learned to be calm and more approachable.
Hi Helen, thanks for sharing your answer. You wrote some very nice sentences. Here are a few corrections: 1) Don't forget to capitalize, 'Western Union'. 2) 'Nurse' is a common noun, so you don't have to capitalize that. Hope this helps!

She can be careless, she is always late for our appointments. But still, we get on well because we have similar dreams and thoughts about life and we always have lots to talk about.

We met in high school because we were studying in the same year. She has long,black hair. She is medium height and really slim. Jetmira is really beautiful, with some striking features. For instance, her eyes are very black and quite small like Chinese girls. Furthermore, she has big lips, which are really awesome. I like her for several reasons.She is supportive, straightforward and smart. These are the qualities that i always look to someone to be my close friend. Moreover, she has got a good sense of humour. She always makes me laugh. I forgot to mention that she has a really nice smile. I can rely on her completely because she has always been honest with me. I don't think i could have a better friend than her. She is very optimistic about life . She always see the glass of water half full not half empty. This encourages me, too. We get on really well with each-other, because we have lots in common; we like the same genre of music, the same type of clothes, books and so on. However, we have a different taste about films. For example I love watching horror movies, but she hates horror films etc. In a nutshell, we are pretty similar with each other and she is not only my best friend, I can absolutely consider her my only sister because i share with her all my secrets.❤️

Let me talk about a best friend of mine here, Baloo. He is quite tall and well built. He has a bouffant and swept back, black hair. He is a very kind, considerate and warm person who can't hold back himself from helping needy when he comes across one of them. He has a very good sense of humour and is very entertaining. He always makes sure people around him are happy and has that ability to make any tension in the stressful atmosphere to fly away with his timely jokes. Though reliable, Baloo often forgets things and roam around; Myself, being his human diary should keep reminding him to do stuff. Other than that, Baloo is a very honest and a straight forward human whom I can trust blind foldedly, as he never lets me sleep with a heavy heart at the end of the day. When our conversation ends, he makes sure I'm alright and all my problems have got appropriate solutions. We've know each other for 2 years after we met online. We get on very well though we are complete opposites. We have different preference for food, movie, songs, clothes, color, hobbies. Yet, these doesn't get in the way of our friendship. Maybe that's why they say " opposite poles attract each other". He is an all-rounder for me : A friend with whom I can fool around and have fun, A brother who teases me to death, A guardian who protects me, A teacher who has solution for all my problems, a well wisher who makes sure nothing bad happens to me. He is my favourite human, whom I always look forward to.

Once we organized a mutual friends' wedding party together. He planned everything with details. It was very incredible! Although he is such a nice person, he sometimes moody. Sometimes I do not know how I can talk to him. We've met the wedding party for the first time, which is about 12 years ago. Since then we get on very well because our hometown is the same.

• Bob has a childlike directness that is quite admirable. He’s spontaneous and frank, and he will describe what he is feeling to your face openly. You will get an honest and unbiased opinion from him all the time. He’s not complex like us, and his mind is not riddled with complications. Such an innocent, unaffected charm has made him very popular in school.
I’m a straightforward person. I often say what I think. Some people like it and some don’t. It’s difficult for me to lie my emotion about something. I know with this personality I will have more problem in my life but I accept this to live a real life.
Thank you for this great video, I am going to describe one of my friends, She is a yoga teacher, we met each other in an English class in Shanghai, She is short and good body shape, she had a curly shoulder length hair, She is very nice to everyone, She always shows a big smile on her face.she is a few years younger than me but she looks like more mature.

My best friend is Viet Anh. When I was in tenth grade, he and I were in the same class and we’ve known each other ever since. He has black hair and small black eyes. He is pretty tall, about 173 centimeters, and average weight. The sad thing is that I’m not as tall as him. He is an extrovert, thoughtful, and is extremely confident. In contrast, I’m more introverted and shy than him. He always thinks of other people’s wishes and feelings. We always tell each other everything. When I had a problem, he would give me advice and tell me the truth more than anyone. For these reasons, I like him. In conclusion, Viet Anh is my best friend until now, and I hope we can keep this friendship forever.
Thanks for sharing! Here is one suggestion for you: It would be better to say, 'When I have a problem, he will give me advice...' rather than, 'had,' and, 'would.' Hope this helps you!
I'm going to talk about my mother. She has deep eyes and a long sleek black hair which I love most. She is really considerate and honest. She always takes care of her children even they already have their own families. Sometimes her straightforward personality turns somebody down but as a family, we know that she has never meant any bad thing to anybody. I usually visit her on weekends to cook and share things. I believe that she and I have the same feeling of getting on very well.
Thanks for sharing, Oahn. Some things to consider: 1) '...children even if they already...' not, '...children even they already...'. 2) '...personality turns people off,' not, '...personality turns somebody down'. Hope this is useful!
Hi Martin, Have a nice day! Thank for your video, it’s very useful. Today I want to introduce to you one of most important person in my life, My Grandmother. In my memories, She is most considerate I have seen. She helped other peoples from bottom of her heart so she got a big love from everyone who live in my village . She used to think for members of family before herself. She gave all her love for family. Althought she was thin, her hair had grey color but she worked all time. It seemed as she didn’t waste any moment of her life. When I had graduated highshool, I came to Ha Noi capital for university. It’s about 400 kms from my hometown. I got homesick, I missed my family, I missed her, I missed family foods because My Grandmy was a great cooker. Althought I lost her 3 years ago, but she always stay in my heart.

I am Poppy Pham. I am 12 years old. I will tell you about a friend of mine, My Cam. She is quite tall and slim with long brown hair. She is very pretty and has a beautiful smile. Cam is always cheerful and fun to be around and she's also really straightforward: you know who she is right away and it's easy to feel comfortable around her. I have known her for about 2 years now, since the fifth grade of elementary school. We really get along because we have the same outlook on life and we usually have a lot to talk about.
Hello, Poppy, congratulations on your level of English! It's so good! Do you live in an English-speaking country? Keep it up! I am a German-Australian woman and teach English to seniors and young people. 😊😊
My family means everything to me and losing one of them was really difficult. The one that I lost is my father. I will never forget him because he was more that just a father for me. He was tall and well-built. He had a short b’ack hair. He looked younger that he’s real age because he gave up smoking for a long time and he lived a very healthy lifestyle by eating clean and exercising. My father had a good sense of humour. He was really funny. He always liked to making jokes, generally at the most inappropriate moment. I remember one time I got 5/20 in maths. He got really angry, but just few minutes he started laughing and told me “like father like daughter”, because he was as well bad in maths. He was the first man I fall in love with. He was a protection for me. I love him and I will always do.

My classmate Min is quite short and well- built. She has slight brown, curly hair. She is not kind of beautiful but has a shiny smile. Unluckily, a missing finger was on her left hand from an accident. Min is really friendly, talktive and has a good sense of humour. It 's easy to be around her because she is quite straightward. She is also a flexiable person. She has a great passion for business and always thinks about sales while I just study most of the time. She used to sell so many things to make money and I laughingly called her is "the boss ". Sometimes, I feel that she is a bit of stingy in money, but it could be understandable. We ' ve known each other since we hung out in a group of friends. We get on very well because we are both open- minded and sociable.

Today, I will tell you about my manager whom I admire and love best. She is quite high and well-built. She has shoulder length, wavy and dark hair. Her face is round on which has always a gentle smile. She is very reliable and considerate. Although she was a general manager, she always asks staffs' ideas and try to meet any their requests or expectations. And when she promises doing something, absolutely it is done. However, these characteristics cause some issues sometimes. I remembered when we have chosen a place to hold teambuilding, we lost too time simply because she questioned all staffs, one by one. The result was when we had the decision, flight ticket increased a little bit. But it was the small things not to deserve concern. Everyone loves her. On the day she left the company, all staffs felt sorrow. Some female staffs were in tears. For me, she was not only my manager, but also like my sister. She helped me a lot although I had only two years to work with her. Perhaps, I never meet anyone like her from the rest of life.

I am going to talk about a friend of mine, Melissa. She is a great friend. Great because she is very tall and I am so much small. People at high school used to say "the ant and the giraffe", but that was not a problem for us. Well, she is tall, quite slim, wich dark short hair and oriental eyes (because she is descendent of Chinese). We met at school when we were teenagers. We get on very well because we always have things to talk although I am extroverted and she is introverted. At first, when I met her, I thought she was very dull, really boring and shy but, day by day, I discovered that she is an amazing girl. As a friend, she is a very warm and straightforward person. That is because she is always providing care, she is sincere and never say things in a way that would hurt people, she knows exactly how to say things and never is involved in gossip. Even being introverted, she says what should be said and with me, she always has things to talk. We can talk for hours! Our conversations are the most interesting of all. Also, I know that I can count with her to anything and she knows the same about me. Unhappily, nowadays I do not see my best friend forever often because she lives in another country. Though we use the internet to chat. Social media is there to help our friendship! Every time that she came back to our country, we spend some time together. And I had a chance to visit her abroad, so, we had the opportunity to do things that friends. I love her like a sister, and she is very important to me.

I’m gonna talk about my friend, Phuong. She is medium tall, and she is shorter than me. She is really slim. If you ask me what I like most in her, I will answer it is her hair. Her hair is long dark hair, which is so beautiful. She looks a bit like Vietnam women in the past with long hair. She is really pretty and has a nice smile. Phuong is warm and has a sense of humor. She always cares about everyone around her. I always share my secrets with her because she is such a reliable girl. If I am sad, she will make me laugh and support me. But sometimes, I feel that she’s a forgetful person. For examples, she said we would go shopping the previous week, but she forgot it immediately. It is really terrible. I’ve known her for nearly 4years, since high school. We get on really well, although we sometimes have an agreement. It will pass after some hours and we will talk again. Now, we don’t study in the same university, but we still chat through Facebook every day, meet each other twice a week. We have the same attitude to life and I don’t want to end my relationship with her. I really adore her. Please check for me! thanks, lots!!!!

I am going to tell you about my mother. She is very beautiful not only by heart but by nature too. I have inherited kindness and discipline from her. She is slim. Her hair are of brown colours. Her hair are very long because she never used to trim off her hair at all. She is very kind and sympathetic. She really has a good sense of humour. She is a kind of moody because she gets angry very easily and then after scolding she loves a lot too. I starting taking her grumpy but when she told me her optimistic views I really got inspired by her. She says that the past is to forget because you are not to that direction.she helps everyone in the house. She used to tell me the stories of my childhood when I didn't eat food properly and she had to plan a treat for me.
Thanks for sharing your response! Here are a few suggestions for your writing:
1) 'Her hair is brown,' not, 'Her hair are of brown colours'.
2) '...because she never usually trims off her hair...' not, '...because she never used to trim off her hair...'.
3) 'She is kind of moody...' not, 'She is a kind of moody'.

I'm going to tell you about a great person, Mr Martin a teacher at Oxford channel on UA-cam, I've known for 1 month just when i was searching on UA-cam for English lessons and since then, i have been watching most of his videos with a big smile, really fortunate that i stumbled through your educational and helpful videos. 🎉
All the videos from Oxford Online English are useful and informative for all ages of English learners ,and their voices are so clear that I can understand without captions!
Hi, I want to improve my English speaking can you talk me in English I will be very thankful to you.
Thank you so much for your lesson.
Today, I want to tell about my best friend, Nhung.
Nhung is a pretty girl. She has a brown skin, a black hair and a lovely smile. She looks a bit like a younger version of my idol, Celine Dion but she never admit about that thing. I’ve known her for 5 years, we have the same class at high school. Everytime we meet up, we have lots of topic to talk about because Nhung and me have lots in common: the same music, the same films, the same sports and so on. She is so kind, honest and extremely hard. Next month, she is going to Japan to study because last year, she received a scholaship’s Japanese. I am proud of her.
Thanks for sharing your answer, Lê. Here are a few suggestions:
1) 'black hair,' not, 'a black hair'.
2) '...but she never admits it,' not, '...but she never admit about that thing'.
3) 'Every time we meet up we have lots of topics...' not, 'Everytime we meet up, we have lots of topic...'.
Hope this helps!
Thanks a lot.
I really don't understand why there are always people who put a dislike to this perfect video . Maybe they think they are perfect or even they are people who doesn't have Martin's talent to explain and are completetly jealous. Poor people, god help them.
Thanks for watching and the support, Cotta.
yes i agree with you , you are right. who dislike this video its because that person is envy and jelaous . but it doesn't matter this is their problem. let's we appreciate these valuable videos or lessons.

That is an amazing job! Well done! I like watching! Thank you!!!
May be they have some sands in their brain
BecAuse they are stupid to understand this is a good video
Now, I am going to talk about my friend, parichay. Though he is medium in size, he is very slim with his long curly hair. He is a really a considerate person as well as diligent in his work. In addition, he is not only generous but also very cheerful. As he is dedicated in his duty, he is very straightforward too. When he meets with me, he always first offers me for a hug. We have known each other for 8 years, since admission coaching for university. Thereafter, we got chance in the same University as well as in same subject. He is a fantastic programmer too. When I faced a problem in any programming related topic, he tried to overcome my difficulty. We get on well because we have a similar attitude and thoughts about life and we always have lots to talk about.
Hi Tanvir. Thanks for watching and sharing your answer. Here are some corrections for you:
1) '...talk about my friend...' not, 'tell'.
2) 'He is a really considerate person,' or, 'He is really a considerate person,' not, 'He is a really a considerate person'.
3) 'When I was faced with a problem...' not, 'faced a problem'.

Vience is one of my good friends. He is tall and bury, not only looks like a bodhisattva, but also has a compassionate heart like a bodhisattva. Being a traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, his superb medical skills made him gained a lot of praise from his patients. We have know each other for years since he came to Australia. Many common interests, like medicine, history, philosophy, etc. got us met to chat sometimes when we had spare time. He went back to China to after his medical career last year, then we have not communicated for over one year, but I missed him a lot. Hope to see him some day later.

I'm going to talk about my brother. He's well-built and quite tall. He has short, dark brown hair and actually, he really looks like me, people usually ask if we are twins, although he's younger than me. He always makes me laugh, he's a very funny person and everybody feels comfortable around him. Now we're living a bit far from each other, but it's always nice when we meet up: we watch series and geek movies. However, he's so moody! But I couldn't live without him, we get on really well.
Thanks for your answer Thaiza!
Nice.

I want practice my English
hello tuan this is Ali my WhatsApp number 966560396381
I try to add you but it not succeed
My friend is adnan, he is about twenty five years old. He is tall and well built. He plays many sports like football, cricket and table tennis. I believe these games play a major role in his strong physique. He have short black hairs with army style haircut. He is very friendly and welcoming to meet and make new friends. He has this positive energy that he makes you more passionate about life and realise that he is there for you when you need him. Normally he keeps quite but he can change atmosphere and all your pain go away with a single joke. Sometimes i wish i could be better as him because he makes feel other people so special to him. He is a generous guy he does spend his money for betterment of poor and he takes good care for his guests, i never seen anyone leaving him without having a tea, coffee or juice in a sitting. Apart of his social pros, he was hard working student in college and had passed with good grades. He was always helping other students with their assignments and preparing for exams. He was teachers favourite in all classes. Even now in his professional life he is well managed person and a team leader. He is very provocative and has new ideas to develop business to great heights. He is married with three kids. Two boys and one girl youngest of them. He really loves her and after office he spent most of his time in home with family. Its sad that i only see him now in some party or in a conference sometimes. We had great moments of life together for example once we went to hiking in mountain trails, i was a bit out of my shape and lousy in those days, everyone laughed at me and made jokes. But he was there all the times encouraging me and helping me to make me realize that i am not the quitter. It was him who kept me motivated throughout our time together. I wish my friend great success and happiness in his life. He is truly a friend indeed.
Nice answer about your friend. Here are some suggestions for you:
1) 'He has short black hair with an army-style haircut,' not, 'He have short black hairs with army style haircut'.
2) 'He has this positive energy that makes you...' not, 'He has this positive energy that he makes you...'.
3) 'Sometimes I wish I could be as good as him...' not, 'Sometimes i wish i could be better as him...'.

I am going to tell you about my friend, Jenny. She is medium height and a little bit over-weighted, with black hair and small eyes. Since she is a considerate and cheerful person, we have become friends since we met at university. Actually, we have a lot in common. For example, we both like watching TV series and sampling the local cuisines. Everytime, when we meet up, we always have many things to talk about. I still remember when I was sick at university, it was her who sent me to hospital and accompanied me for the whole night regardless of the examination on the next day. I am so grateful that I have her to be my friend. If only she could work at the same city like me then we could hand out everyday!
Nice, Lingping. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'overweight,' not, 'over-weighted,'.
2) '...we have been friends since we met,' not, '...we have become friends since we met'.
3) '...sent me to the hospital,' not, '...sent me to hospital'.
Hope this is useful for you!
I'm going to talk about a great friend of mine called Andrew and who happens to be my husband. We met at university about ten years ago. He's medium height and well-built with short black hair. Andrew is very humble, calm and down to earth. He's such an honest guy too. I remember one time he transferred money via western union but later realised that the teller had sent much more than she was supposed to send. He insisted on covering the loss which the cashier had incurred. Andrew's nature has modelled me into the kind of Nurse that I am today. Over time, I've learned to be calm and more approachable.
Hi Helen, thanks for sharing your answer. You wrote some very nice sentences. Here are a few corrections:
1) Don't forget to capitalize, 'Western Union'.
2) 'Nurse' is a common noun, so you don't have to capitalize that.
Hope this helps!
I'm gonna tell about my friend who works with me at a private sector. He is short and little bit overweighted but I like him bcoz he has good sense of humor very entertaining people he is.

I'm from India.

I'm going to talk about my friends Nao. I've known her since we were in primary school. She is slim fit and has curly brown hair. She is so considerate that she messaged me when I couldn't reply to her messages, due to my illness. In addition, she is so smart, she speaks Japanese of her mother tongue, of course, English and Chinese not of it too. However, there is also a negative side to her. She can be careless, she is always late for our appointments. But still, we get on well because we have similar dreams and thoughts about life and we always have lots to talk about.
Also, she is cheerful. Whenever I have hard time and being worried about a job, money, etc. She says something optimistic things for me.
my friend's name is Judith.She is Short and curvy with short brown hair. Although plain in her looks
has a beautiful smile which can literarily melt ice.she is really cheerful and she is so much fun to be around.she is kind,caring and patient. we get on pretty well and have similar views on life.we always have things to talk about.

I am going to talk about my best friend. Her name is Jetmira, but I call her Berry. I have known my friend Jetmira for about two years. We met in high school because we were studying in the same year. She has long,black hair. She is medium height and really slim. Jetmira is really beautiful, with some striking features. For instance, her eyes are very black and quite small like Chinese girls. Furthermore, she has big lips, which are really awesome. I like her for several reasons.She is supportive, straightforward and smart. These are the qualities that i always look to someone to be my close friend. Moreover, she has got a good sense of humour. She always makes me laugh. I forgot to mention that she has a really nice smile. I can rely on her completely because she has always been honest with me. I don't think i could have a better friend than her. She is very optimistic about life . She always see the glass of water half full not half empty. This encourages me, too. We get on really well with each-other, because we have lots in common; we like the same genre of music, the same type of clothes, books and so on. However, we have a different taste about films. For example I love watching horror movies, but she hates horror films etc. In a nutshell, we are pretty similar with each other and she is not only my best friend, I can absolutely consider her my only sister because i share with her all my secrets.❤️
Thanks for sharing, Serie. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) Always capitalize 'I' in a sentence.
2) '...qualities that I always look for in a close friend,' not, '...qualities that i always look to someone to be my close friend'.
3) 'She always makes me laugh,' not, 'make'.

My cousin is quite tall and well-built. He has short black hair. He looks so handsome. He’s kind and warm. He always takes care of me. He’s also reliable, I can share anything with him, he's always beside me in the difficult situations. Sometimes, he’s really fun. He likes making weird jokes. However, he can be a little unreliable sometimes, he often ‘’ forgets’’ to do things he promised me.
I lived with him during 5 years when I was in university but now we don’t have chances to meet often. When we meet up we like watching films or going swim together.
Thanks.

Let me talk about a best friend of mine here, Baloo. He is quite tall and well built. He has a bouffant and swept back, black hair. He is a very kind, considerate and warm person who can't hold back himself from helping needy when he comes across one of them. He has a very good sense of humour and is very entertaining. He always makes sure people around him are happy and has that ability to make any tension in the stressful atmosphere to fly away with his timely jokes. Though reliable, Baloo often forgets things and roam around; Myself, being his human diary should keep reminding him to do stuff. Other than that, Baloo is a very honest and a straight forward human whom I can trust blind foldedly, as he never lets me sleep with a heavy heart at the end of the day. When our conversation ends, he makes sure I'm alright and all my problems have got appropriate solutions. We've know each other for 2 years after we met online. We get on very well though we are complete opposites. We have different preference for food, movie, songs, clothes, color, hobbies. Yet, these doesn't get in the way of our friendship. Maybe that's why they say " opposite poles attract each other". He is an all-rounder for me : A friend with whom I can fool around and have fun, A brother who teases me to death, A guardian who protects me, A teacher who has solution for all my problems, a well wisher who makes sure nothing bad happens to me. He is my favourite human, whom I always look forward to.
Love you

I am going to talk about my friend, K. His hight is average and well-built. He has short hair without any grey hair as his age. I always think K is really alike with Joy a famous american sit-com called Friends, as you may know. He is such a considerate and high maintenance person in a good way. When I go out with him, he alway asks me if I am ok, like If I feel hot or cold. He manages his life very well as he lives himself. In addition, he is really good at manage time schedule as well. Once we organized a mutual friends' wedding party together. He planned everything with details. It was very incredible! Although he is such a nice person, he sometimes moody. Sometimes I do not know how I can talk to him. We've met the wedding party for the first time, which is about 12 years ago. Since then we get on very well because our hometown is the same.

• Bob has a childlike directness that is quite admirable. He’s spontaneous and frank, and he will describe what he is feeling to your face openly. You will get an honest and unbiased opinion from him all the time. He’s not complex like us, and his mind is not riddled with complications. Such an innocent, unaffected charm has made him very popular in school.
I’m a straightforward person. I often say what I think. Some people like it and some don’t. It’s difficult for me to lie my emotion about something. I know with this personality I will have more problem in my life but I accept this to live a real life.

Thanks for sharing your answer, Emma. Here are some tips:

My best friend is Viet Anh. When I was in tenth grade, he and I were in the same class and we’ve known each other ever since. He has black hair and small black eyes. He is pretty tall, about 173 centimeters, and average weight. The sad thing is that I’m not as tall as him. He is an extrovert, thoughtful, and is extremely confident. In contrast, I’m more introverted and shy than him. He always thinks of other people’s wishes and feelings. We always tell each other everything. When I had a problem, he would give me advice and tell me the truth more than anyone. For these reasons, I like him. In conclusion, Viet Anh is my best friend until now, and I hope we can keep this friendship forever.
Thanks for sharing! Here is one suggestion for you:
It would be better to say, 'When I have a problem, he will give me advice...' rather than, 'had,' and, 'would.'
Hope this helps you!
thank you martin😊
I'm going to talk about my mother. She has deep eyes and a long sleek black hair which I love most. She is really considerate and honest.

I believe that she and I have the same feeling of getting on very well.
Thanks for sharing, Oahn. Some things to consider:
1) '...children even if they already...' not, '...children even they already...'.

Hi Martin, Have a nice day! Thank for your video, it’s very useful.
Today I want to introduce to you one of most important person in my life, My Grandmother.
In my memories, She is most considerate I have seen. She helped other peoples from bottom of her heart so she got a big love from everyone who live in my village . She used to think for members of family before herself. She gave all her love for family. Althought she was thin, her hair had grey color but she worked all time. It seemed as she didn’t waste any moment of her life. When I had graduated highshool, I came to Ha Noi capital for university. It’s about 400 kms from my hometown. I got homesick, I missed my family, I missed her, I missed family foods because My Grandmy was a great cooker. Althought I lost her 3 years ago, but she always stay in my heart.

One of my best is Ngoc. He's pretty tall, well built. He has dark skin, short hair with big brown eyes. The most impressive thing is the cheerful smile is always on his face because he's a kind of person who always optimistic and amiable. We've known each other for about 10 years since we were at university. We get on very well because we have some many things in common. For example like playing games, swimming, hiking and so on.
I am Poppy Pham. I am 12 years old.
I will tell you about a friend of mine, My Cam. She is quite tall and slim with long brown hair. She is very pretty and has a beautiful smile. Cam is always cheerful and fun to be around and she's also really straightforward: you know who she is right away and it's easy to feel comfortable around her. I have known her for about 2 years now, since the fifth grade of elementary school. We really get along because we have the same outlook on life and we usually have a lot to talk about.
Hello, Poppy, congratulations on your level of English! It's so good! Do you live in an English-speaking country? Keep it up! I am a German-Australian woman and teach English to seniors and young people. 😊😊
My family means everything to me and losing one of them was really difficult. The one that I lost is my father. I will never forget him because he was more that just a father for me.
He was tall and well-built. He had a short b’ack hair. He looked younger that he’s real age because he gave up smoking for a long time and he lived a very healthy lifestyle by eating clean and exercising.
My father had a good sense of humour. He was really funny. He always liked to making jokes, generally at the most inappropriate moment. I remember one time I got 5/20 in maths. He got really angry, but just few minutes he started laughing and told me “like father like daughter”, because he was as well bad in maths.
He was the first man I fall in love with. He was a protection for me. I love him and I will always do.
Thanks for sharing your answer, Selma. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'He has short black hair,' not, 'He had a short b’ack hair'.

Hi Martin I love your style of imparting skills of English speaking.
My classmate Min is quite short and well- built. She has slight brown, curly hair. She is not kind of beautiful but has a shiny smile. Unluckily, a missing finger was on her left hand from an accident.
Min is really friendly, talktive and has a good sense of humour. It 's easy to be around her because she is quite straightward.
She is also a flexiable person. She has a great passion for business and always thinks about sales while I just study most of the time. She used to sell so many things to make money and I laughingly called her is "the boss ". Sometimes, I feel that she is a bit of stingy in money, but it could be understandable.
We ' ve known each other since we hung out in a group of friends. We get on very well because we are both open- minded and sociable.

Today, I will tell you about my manager whom I admire and love best. She is quite high and well-built. She has shoulder length, wavy and dark hair. Her face is round on which has always a gentle smile. She is very reliable and considerate. Although she was a general manager, she always asks staffs' ideas and try to meet any their requests or expectations. And when she promises doing something, absolutely it is done. However, these characteristics cause some issues sometimes. I remembered when we have chosen a place to hold teambuilding, we lost too time simply because she questioned all staffs, one by one. The result was when we had the decision, flight ticket increased a little bit. But it was the small things not to deserve concern. Everyone loves her. On the day she left the company, all staffs felt sorrow. Some female staffs were in tears. For me, she was not only my manager, but also like my sister. She helped me a lot although I had only two years to work with her. Perhaps, I never meet anyone like her from the rest of life.

I am going to talk about a friend of mine, Melissa. She is a great friend. Great because she is very tall and I am so much small. People at high school used to say "the ant and the giraffe", but that was not a problem for us. Well, she is tall, quite slim, wich dark short hair and oriental eyes (because she is descendent of Chinese).
We met at school when we were teenagers. We get on very well because we always have things to talk although I am extroverted and she is introverted. At first, when I met her, I thought she was very dull, really boring and shy but, day by day, I discovered that she is an amazing girl.
As a friend, she is a very warm and straightforward person. That is because she is always providing care, she is sincere and never say things in a way that would hurt people, she knows exactly how to say things and never is involved in gossip. Even being introverted, she says what should be said and with me, she always has things to talk. We can talk for hours! Our conversations are the most interesting of all. Also, I know that I can count with her to anything and she knows the same about me.
Unhappily, nowadays I do not see my best friend forever often because she lives in another country. Though we use the internet to chat. Social media is there to help our friendship! Every time that she came back to our country, we spend some time together. And I had a chance to visit her abroad, so, we had the opportunity to do things that friends. I love her like a sister, and she is very important to me.
Thanks for sharing, Roques. Here are a few suggestions for you:

I’m gonna talk about my friend, Phuong. She is medium tall, and she is shorter than me. She is really slim. If you ask me what I like most in her, I will answer it is her hair. Her hair is long dark hair, which is so beautiful. She looks a bit like Vietnam women in the past with long hair. She is really pretty and has a nice smile. Phuong is warm and has a sense of humor. She always cares about everyone around her. I always share my secrets with her because she is such a reliable girl. If I am sad, she will make me laugh and support me. But sometimes, I feel that she’s a forgetful person. For examples, she said we would go shopping the previous week, but she forgot it immediately. It is really terrible. I’ve known her for nearly 4years, since high school. We get on really well, although we sometimes have an agreement. It will pass after some hours and we will talk again. Now, we don’t study in the same university, but we still chat through Facebook every day, meet each other twice a week. We have the same attitude to life and I don’t want to end my relationship with her. I really adore her.
Please check for me! thanks, lots!!!!

Although, he likes making weird jokes generally at the most inappropriate he knows the ways that make everyone comfortable when they around him. However, sometimes he can be a little bit unreliable for he frequently"forget" to do things he promised he would. I've known him for about 3 years now, since university. We get on well for we have a similar attitude to life and we always have lots to talk about. I love him so much, my dear!

I have never seen him break his promise, he always do things he promised he would. I have know him for about seven years now, since high school. I'm very happy to have a friend like him. We get on well because we have a similar attitude to understand each other.

I'll like to talk about my best friend Deola. She's of average height,a fair- complexioned lady with very long brown hair. She has a very good sense of humour and there is no dull moment when you are with her. Most times she eases my stress with her funny jokes. Deola is a very caring and loving person,sometimes I call her my angel. I could remember in my final year when I had an accident and sustained some injuries, she left her place of accommodation and came to stay with me for the 3 months I needed for recuperation. We've known ourselves for over 12years from university and though we are not in the same country now,we communicate very often via the social media.

@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 Thank you for doing a great job
It’s really incredible discussion. Exceedingly helpful my IELTS speaking part. Thanksgiving oxford online English.
Let me tell you about one of my best friend of mine, Ali. He’s quite short and well-built, with curly dark hair. he has a slightly long scar on his right cheek. He’s a very reliable person and honest as well. Ali has a strong personality and is very straightforward, and he’s also very humble and funny sometimes. once you meet him, you soon know how great he is. We’ve known each other for more than two decades. without exaggeration, we met when we were babies before we could even crawl. for that reason, We get on quite well because we share the same lifestyle and we are doing the same sport. we have a similar attitude to life, Because he is my closest neighbors, we meet up often. We always have lots to talk about, especially when we stroll along the beach.
Please correct my mistake if any. I guess there are some.!!

My friend, Cynthia is quite tall and lanky. She is fair and has golden shoulder-length hair. She has oval face and full lips. She is elegant. My friend is a very sociable person. She can communicate very well since she was very young. She is very considerate and warm so I feel comfortable around her but sometimes she can be a bit emotional about her boyfriend. We've known each other for 11 years now. We met at the very first day of school. We get on very well although we argue sometimes too.
Nice response. You used some excellent phrases and vocabulary! Thanks for sharing. Here are some corrections for you:

This is a very useful lesson. I like it too much. Thank you, teacher.
I am going to talk about my friend. She is very reliable. I used to approach her for many things. Even if she is busy with her schedule she does for me.
Great! Here are a few tips for you:
1) Do you currently approach her for many things, or was this only a habit in the past? If it is currently true, you can say, 'I usually approach her,' not, 'I used to,' which means it is not true now.
2) '...busy with her schedule she helps me,' not, 'does for me'.
Hope that helps!
