My sister Mary is 20 years old. She’s neither too pretty nor too ugly but she has an extremely graceful figure. She is always well-dressed and some people might even call her good-looking. If her face weren’t so round, she would resemble Julia Roberts. Mary is tall, slim and narrow-waisted. She has beautiful fair, wavy hair, which she often ties in bunches. When she smiles you can see dimples on her rosy cheeks.

My face is neither distinctive nor plain. I don’t find looking at my reflection in the mirror a painful experience. I can see a slender face with a warm expression and wide-set, blue eyes with long eyelashes. I have rather a smooth complexion with some freckles which are a reminder of my childhood and all complexes connected with it. I can also notice some wrinkles which may easily reveal my age. The pouches under my eyes show that I enjoy staying up all night. My lips are narrow and a bit too pale; my nose is protrusive but my ears are regular. I have auburn, shoulder-length, layered hair. I also have a fringe because my forehead is quite high.

I have a new boyfriend. I met him two months ago and I have been crazy about him since then. He is not handsome but he has a very good character. He is of medium height and rather stocky. He has red, crew-cut hair, a chubby face and a bit slanted eyes. His nose is large and his eyebrows bushy. Moreover, he has a scar on his left cheek. I would not call his appearance appealing but after five minutes of conversation with him, you will see he is one of the most extraordinary boys you’ve ever met. He is not only an imaginative, sensitive and creative person but also an affectionate and tender boyfriend.
