STATEMENT

446-word version

Dear Mr./Ms. 관계자이름, 또는 To whom it may concern:

I have known 친구이름 since my 9th year and have been close to him for 3 years. I was first drawn to him because we shared a common hobby; we both were enchanted by the piano. Though we were amateur players, we used to gather together during lunchtime, sneak into the music room, and play pieces that contained our dreams and passions.

We were also rivals in the classroom, competing for first place. In the Korean educational curriculum, sophomores are divided into two different tracks: those majoring in science and math and those majoring in language arts and social science. Because of this distinction, freshmen become indifferent to their non-major subjects, thus likely to fail in those tests. Though 친구이름 was in the language arts and social science track and I was in the math and science track, he excelled in science subjects.

친구이름 is a truly captivating friend. He is erudite, excelling in many areas of study such as science, Western arts, classics, rock’n roll, literature, philosophy and economics. One interest that I share with him is literature. He was especially interested in poetry and won many literature awards...

Sincerely,
필자이름
