Describe a friend from your childhood IELTS Cue Card

You should say

• Who she/he is
• When and how you met each other
• What you often did together
• And explain what made you like him/her

Who he/she is

One of my closest childhood friends is a boy named Rohan. We grew up in the same neighborhood and were practically inseparable during our early years. He had a cheerful personality and an infectious laugh that could brighten anyone’s day.

When and how you met each other

We met when we were around six years old, on the first day of primary school. I remember feeling nervous and shy, standing alone in the corner of the classroom. Rohan came over, introduced himself with a big smile, and offered me half of his chocolate bar. That small gesture was the beginning of a long-lasting friendship.

What you often did together

We did everything together—playing cricket in the streets, riding our bicycles around the neighborhood, and building imaginary forts in the backyard. We even studied together during exams, although I must admit we did more talking than actual studying! On weekends, we’d often go to the nearby park, play on the swings, or have friendly competitions to see who could climb the highest tree.

And explain what made you like him/her

What made me like Rohan the most was his kindness and loyalty. He was the kind of friend who always had your back, no matter what. If I was upset or had a bad day, he’d notice instantly and try to cheer me up with a joke or a funny story. Even as kids, he was mature enough to understand people’s feelings. That emotional intelligence, combined with his fun-loving nature, made him truly special to me.
