Sample Answer:
The person I can’t help telling you about is Mary. She is one of my close friends and the first person I rush to when I need a creative solution to some problem, be it preparing a birthday present or decorating a flat.
I met Mary by accident. Some years ago I was planning to have my flat refurbished, so I was looking for interior design ideas as I had no idea of what to do. I found her page on Facebook where she shared some ideas which were great yet easy to implement. I decided to ask her for advice. So I sent her a message. She befriended me on Facebook first and gradually we became very close friends in real life.
She is living proof that a creative person is creative in everything. First of all, she’s a wizard with her hands. She makes unbelievably beautiful clay dolls which have a special meaning and serve as protective charms. What I admire most is that she can turn ordinary items into design objects. One of such examples is such a lamp made of plastic spoons and bottles. It looks incredibly stylish.
I don’t know how she manages to come up with new wonderful ideas every time I ask her for help. And this happens every time I want to congratulate my friends or relatives on their birthdays. For instance, once she advised me to record a song for my boyfriend. Another time she helped me make a fancy cake. The most recent creative solution was to hide a present and make a map with prompts and riddles which my boyfriend used to find the gift. I wish I could come up with the same original ideas. However, I’m nowhere near as creative as her.
