: Model Answer

I am Silvia Costa and in my school, I have many friends and classmates. All of them are dear to me but my best friend is named Emmy and she lives beside my apartment. I had a conversation with her a few days ago about the day out we had in the last month

I had a chat with Emmy for about one hour and I described her about the things we did in the outing. I with some of my school friends and mates went on a day out and travelled different parts of the Paris city. Emmy could not accompany us as she went with her parents. In the conversation, I told her that we went to see the Eiffel Tower and the Musee du Louvre on the day. I talked over the tower and the museum and the things we had seen there. Since she could not go with us, I tried to refill the gap with the descriptions about our visit so that she could also know about what we did in her absence

The conversation (chat suits more than conversation) was held with Emmy Bartholdi. She is also studying with me in the high school and lives just beside our apartment. I like her most and she is my best friend as we have similarities in different issues. First of all, she loves to read books, and I too. Sometimes we exchange books particularly the thrillers. When we plan to go for a day out, she agreed in the beginning but could not be present at the event as she had to go for a visit to her paternal aunt on an emergency basis with her father. When she returned from her relative’s place, she asked me to describe the entire event

On an evening and after attending the class, she returned home with me. After around an hour she came to our apartment and started the chat. We talked for an hour over the day out and I also showed her the photos that I captured and shared on my social networking site account. We discussed different issues as well and she told that her paternal aunt suddenly fell ill and was hospitalised and thus she had to rush with her father to meet her immediately. I also described what we did on the day, where we stopped, from where we took our foods, which sort of fun we had and more other issues

Actually, both of us remain busy with our home assignments, studies and other small domestic chores like helping mom in different ways or decorating the apartment and such other tasks. So, we cannot manage time to sit and talk together. In school, we also do not have extra time for the pressure of academic activities. Sometimes she comes at my home or I go to her to exchange books. But we do not talk usually at those moments. So, it was an interesting talking event with my best friend and it was more like a small event of the two. I entertained her with cookies and coffee while she brought a large chocolate for me. In fact, the conversation was great
