I have many friends. They are mainly from school. One of my best friends is David. He is about half a
year older than I. We live in the same town and study at the same grammar school. He is young
intelligent man. He looks very good. He has brown hair. His eyes are brown, too. He is very tall and very
thin what is sometimes very funny. He has a lot of hobbies but the most of all he is interested in sports.
He is keen on skiing. He is a very good skier. In winter he spends every weekend in the mountains. In
summer he likes to ride a bicycle very much. He participates in bicycle races. He often goes to a
swimming pool. He is a very good swimmer. David likes listening to music. He listens to rock and punk
music. He collects stamps. David is a dextrous' boy. He is keen on making models of planes. I respect
David for his character. He is a man of honour. He is ambitious, conscientious and cheerful. He is always
in good mood. David hasn't only good qualities. He has big troubles with timely attendance. He is often
late for school or meetings. David is very interesting because he eats very much and for all that he is very
thin. David indulges in nice girls. David and I are very good friends. We have a lot of the same hobbies.
We often play games for example tennis. We often go to disco. During holidays we go to natural settings.
David is a good friend. I think we will always be good friends.

WHO AM I?
I come from quite a large family. I have got two elder brothers, both of whom are wage -earners and
live happy family life with their wives and children. I have also got a sister, who is younger than me and
she is still single. She lives with my parents, who are quite old and need looking after.
I am in my late twenties. I am very tall and quite heavily built, but I have rather narrow shoulders. I am
a litt
Ie overweight2.
I have straight, medium-length fair hair, I have a short beard and a moustache. My eyes are blue and I
wear glasses.
I have got a rather long face with a strong chin, a big nose and big ears. I have thin lips and an
expressive face.
My face changes a lot when I smile. I have a high forehead, I like to think that it looks intelligent. I
don't think I am good-looking, but I am not all that bad-looking either. I probably look a bit older than I am.
I am not really dress-conscious as clothes are not important to me and I am casually3 dressed. After
all it is not the gay coat that makes the gentleman.
