A Person Who Helped You with Studies or Work
Speaking Part 2
Question
Describe a person who has helped you with your studies or work. You should say who this person is and how you know them. Explain how they helped you and how you felt about their help.
Model Answer
I want to talk about my cousin Linh, who helped me a lot when I was preparing for my last year. She is a few years older than me and works as a nurse, but she was very patient and sat with me every weekend to go over difficult topics. She explained things slowly and used simple examples based on her own experience. I felt relieved and more confident because I could ask her anything without feeling embarrassed.
