IELTS SPEAKING PART 2 - A Good Parent

A Good Parent

Describe a good parent you know.
You should say:
    who the parent is

well the parent I’d like to talk about is the mother of a good friend of mine
    how you know the parent

I know her basically because I went to the same high school as her son. And thanks to the fact that we were pretty good friends, so there were a high chance for us to meet each other’s parents.
    what the parent looks like

And regarding what his mother looks like, well interestingly enough, she actually looks pretty similar to our teacher, because they both have quite round faces and long wavy hair. Having said that though, I’ve noticed that my friend’s mother often ties her hair up in a bun, whereas our teacher usually keeps it down, which I much prefer. 

and explain why you think the parent is good.

there are quite a few reasons why I reckon she’s a good parent, well I’d say, one of which would be that she’s always been very supportive to her son. And just to give you an example, even though my friend didn’t achieve an excellent grade in his college entrance examination, so he had to study for another year to re-sit the annual exam next year. And it was at this time that his mother gave him her full support, which is probably not what many other parents would have done under such a situation, as their blames would usually lie with their child who failed to be sufficiently industrious.

And apart from this, I think it’s fair to say that nowadays, a lot of parents persuade their children to do things which they think are best for them, but my friend has said that his parents have never been like this with him, especially his mother. So I kind of get the impression that she’s never forced him to do anything against his will, and has always let him make his own decisions, which I think’s really great.
