I was very glad to hear from you again. Sorry, I haven't written for ages because of my school activities. I'm very glad to hear something new from you. You ask me to write a few words about my best friend. With a pleasure. First of all I want to tell you that my friend's name is Irina and she is 17. Her height is nearly 159 cm. But she'd like to be a bit taller. Well, she is not slim but she is not fat either. Irina has a round face as everyone has, a bit long nose and big cheerful grey eyes. Her skin is a bit pale but she likes this fact, she doesn't like ruddy faces. She has no freckles as my friend Nina has. Her forehead is open. I think Irina has a charming smile. Her hair isn't very short but it's not long either. It is straight and black. Irina has rich hair. I think that she looks like her father. Tell me a few words about you and your new school and friend. Have you joined any sport club? Do you like your new teachers? That's for me today. I have to go to the shop for some food.
