Script:
Whenever being asked about who the person having a significant role to play in my life is, I always answer that is my best friend called Nhung. Um, I first met her  5 years ago when we were studying at our high school. Um, At that time, for me,  she was nothing rather than a distant classmate. Since I thought she was not, um, kind of, not my cup of tea. Um, however, time’s gone by, we had more time to talk and share. We often  hung out with each other after classes or went shopping , which helped us to get away from it all and recharged ourselves. well, ever since then,  we got closer and closer. Now she is my beloved soulmate that I can’t imagine how terrible, lonely my life would be if somedays she disappeared. Frankly, I am quite into her tactfulness what I mean here is  she seldom cuts somebody to the quick, or that sort of thing. That is the reason why we have never had any row so far. what’s more,  it is she who gives me useful advice when I am in trouble. Being with her, I don’t have to keep anything quiet because she is such a thoughtful listener that I can, I can let all things out. To be honest not only am I in debt to her but also treasure this priceless friendship.
