Of all my friend, I like Emily the best. She is my classmate and lives near my
house. She has a fair complexion, thick brown hair which she wears in a ponytail and dark brown eyes. She has a kind face and when you meet her, the first thing you notice is her smile. Her face is oval and she is attractive. She is the sort of person you can always go to if you have a problem.
She likes reading and gardening, and she often goes for long walk over the hills. She is a very active person. Either she is making something or mending something or doing something to entertain herself. She is extremely generous, but not very tolerant with people who do not agree with her. That is what I do not like from her but most of the time I feel happy being beside her.
