Describe something that you have shared with others (or another person)

You should say:

  • what you shared  
  • who you shared it with.    
  • why you shared it  

And explain how you felt about sharing it  

Sample Answer

Well, I’m kind of an introverted person so I do not tend to share my stories with others. The only person I fully trust to confide in is my best friend from secondary school, because we have been close for over 10 years.

At my first year in university, I was a little bored with the major that I had been studying, because it was not exactly what I had signed up for at first. I meant to apply for the commercial English department, but unfortunately I did not have a high enough score and, therefore, business management was my second choice. A lot of thoughts crossed my mind at that time, like this major was not really my thing, I would not be able to make it and similar
negative feelings.

I was really depressed and eventually turned to her to ask for help. We had a conversation and she helped me analyze my interests, personality, strengths and weaknesses, which allowed me to reach a decision by myself. As a result, I kept studying my major and made time for learning English besides. As we enjoyed such a close relationship, I felt really reassured when I received her useful advice.

Now, I’m a final-year student at university, I am pleased with my decision, thanks to her. She really is my best friend, always stays by my side and never turns her back on me, and I treasure our friendship a lot.
