:Model Answer

I’m going to talk about the American sitcom, Friends. Although it first debuted in the 90’s, I just began to watch it this past year

I watched almost the entire series by myself, with the exception of a few episodes with my ex-boyfriend. We both chuckled at this goofy sitcom. As I’m now in my late 20’s like the characters in the show, it made me laugh a lot almost every episode because I can relate to many of the same situations and challenges that they face, especially dating. For example, they all are trying to get married and have children but keep finding many dating failures before finding the real thing. Furthermore, I think the characters in the show are quite well-developed and each have their own unique personality, like Joey’s goofball self and Phoebe’s hippy, zany way of being. I think this is what made me want to keep watching

I really enjoy this show because it’s quite light-hearted; it’s one of those shows you can unwind to in the evening. I find shows based on simple stories, like a 20 something group of friends, quite entertaining because it’s relatable. For example, I laughed at their ways of talking to each other on the daily because I imagine saying things like that to my own group of friends
