Example Answers to Personal Questions:

How would you describe your closest friend’s character?

My closest friend is very empathetic and supportive. She always listens carefully when I’m talking, and she’s one of the most reliable people I know. She’s also very patient and doesn’t get frustrated easily, even when things are tough.

What qualities do you think are most important in a friend?

Loyalty, honesty, and a sense of humor are probably the most important qualities. A good friend should be someone who will stick by you no matter what, be truthful, and know how to make you laugh when you need it the most.
