Describing A Person’s Appearance

    I have recently met a new friend. Her name is Kate and she studies at the 7th form of our school.
    I’d like to say a few words about her outer look. She’s got a likeable appearance. Kate is rather tall for her age. Although, we are peers, she is much taller than me. She is neither fat nor thin. I’d say she is of a medium size and well-built. Compared with her, I’m a bit slimmer. Perhaps, it’s because I’ve been attending dance classes from the early childhood. She’s got fiery red hair and green eyes. Her hair is not long. It’s of a shoulder length, but it suits her.
   Her eyes are big and beautiful. My hair is longer than hers and it’s of a darker shade. I often wear long braids. My eyes are not as big as hers and they are hazel. Her nose is slightly upturned but it doesn’t spoil the overall impression.
   Besides, she’s a got a kind personality and she smiles a lot. All in all, she is rather attractive. People say the same about me, but I think that she is more beautiful than me, because at the last school beauty contest she won the first prize.
   I would also like to mention that Kate always tries to look fashionable. She dresses modestly, but with elegance. I like socializing with people like her, because they are not arrogant. At school, most of the time we wear the uniform, which consists of a dark blue skirt, white shirt and a dark blue jacket. But when we go out for a walk or to the cinema, we both wear fancy clothes.
   My parents like Kate. They say she is a good friend for me.
