My good friend, Jing(我的好朋友,静)

Jing is one of my good friends, she is from Guangdong province. She is not tall, but her figure is neat, slender and plump1*. She had not so long, but soft and fine black hair2*. Her face is oval face with (a pair of3*) black eyes. She reveals her even white teeth whenever she smiles. Jing usually wears long skirts and more very elegant high-heeled shoes, but sometimes she would4* wear jeans and T-shirt.

Jing is good at cooking. She likes to do make all kinds of food. Cooking seemsed to her to be a kind of enjoyment. She always is humming5* hums while working in the kitchen. When I see her like that, I will get gain experienced : there was is such a person in the world, make the kitchen as a paradise, because I don’t didn't like cooking when I was a little child

1* Slender and plump are incompatible and it is impossible to be both.

2* I would use a different word order- Her black hair is not very long, but is fine and soft.

3* In a description of a person 'pair of' is redundant for eyes as it is assumed you have a pair. You could use it in a different context 'On the dark road I could only see a pair of eyes looking at me'

4* would - is used for habits but only in the past.

5* using the always + present continuous = a complaint about something you don't like. eg. my neighbour is always playing loud music.

 

 

The change from past to present tense is a bit confusing. I think nearly all the text should be in present.

BUt also some sentences are very good and show a rich use of language.

eg. She reveals her even white teeth whenever she smiles. She likes classical Chinese poetry very much and she can write that type of poetry, etc.

静不止外观好看,而且她还是一个善良、能干且富有才华的人。 她善于烹饪,喜欢做各种各样的美食,下厨对她而言似乎是一种享受。她在厨房里总是一边哼歌一边干活,每当看到她那样子,我就心生感慨:这世上竟有这样的人,把厨房当成乐园!因为我从小就不喜欢下厨。 静从我认识她那年起煮过各种美食给我吃,吃完饭后我们常常一起去散。走在路上,她有时会突然暴一两句诗词出来。 静毕业于中山大学中文系,她非常喜欢中国古典诗词,而且她也会写那种风格的诗词。她常和我讨论诗和现代散文。宋代的女词人李清照是她非常喜欢的著名诗词人之一。她经常朗诵李清照的《寻寻觅觅》。我喜欢听她朗诵现代散文和古诗,她的声音是那么的轻柔圆润,如同溪水潺潺,又像黄莺低唱。这是一把极富魅力的声音,听着这样的声音你会忘记一些事情
