You should say
What you currently do
What you like and don't like doing
What your good points (i.e. strengths) and bad points (weaknesses)
And explain what’s the best way to become your friend.
Well, to start with, I think I will tell you what I do. I am a lawyer here in Shanghai and I've been working as an attorney for about 3 years. My work is interesting, but it involves very complicated issues and often there are various strategies that are necessary for success.
I enjoy meeting people and forming new relationships with people. I enjoy hearing people’s stories and I like trying my best to help them. I also enjoy getting out with my friends and enjoying the entertainment places. I am a big fan of jazz and there are a few places that I go to enjoy it. I can also play the saxophone and even play in a bad at a bar form time to time, but I don't have time to do it regularly.
What I don't like doing? Hmm..let me think, well I suppose I just don't like having to go through a lot of very tedious details at work and quite frankly I don't like clients who lie to me about their situation. There are some things about the job, which I don't like and I'm not proud about everything that I do, but overall I really like it.
I think my good points are that I'm quite good at communicating. I mean, you have to be as a lawyer. I do know a lot about the law, especially commercial law that is my specialty. I have a good memory for legal issues and law and I can use them quite well to argue a point. My bad points are that I am the worst person for finding directions. I get lost everywhere when I'm traveling. If you ask my wife she’ll tell you that there's nobody as bad as I for getting lost in places.
As for how you can be my friend. I think the key thing is that you just need to have a good sense of humour and you just need to be honest in your actions. Actually I am quire willing to be anyone’s friends but I hate people who make a big show of it. I don't need any special favours or gifts to be my friends. If people just act themselves...well, that’s good enough for me.
