Describing my best friend
I'm going to talk about my best friend, his physical appearance, his personality, and how we met!I've got a best friend who I met at college. We've known each other for almost 10 years.
He is very tall and a bit chubby. He has short black hair. He has dark eyes and he has tanned* skin.
He is very reliable. So, I always can count on him. And I know he'll never let me down. He is really cheerful; so he is always has a good attitude, and a big smile. He is always in a really good mood. He has a good sense of humor, always making jokes and making people around him happy people.
So there he is.... my best friend for life. Someone I can really trust!
*en Ingles solo usamos "tanned" para describir a gente que se bronzean en el sol. Si quieres decir que es "prieto" o "moreno" podrias decir que es "dark complected" o "olive skinned." Tambien, los norte americanos son muy sensibles en cuanto la palabra "chubby." Esta bien decir que un bebe o un chachorrito es "chubby." en este caso estas diciendo que son "chulos." Pero a un hombre seria mejor decir, "he is stocky" o "he is a little bit heavy set" o "he is a kind of a bigger guy."
Hi Paulina, this was wonderfully written! However, I would like to suggest a couple of changes. I would also recommend that you pay a little attention on excessive use of pronouns especially in long sentence structures. If mentioned once, they do not need to be repeated again and again, and making the sentence sound a bit tedious. Also the verb we use with Jokes is "cracking", not "making". So "My friend loves cracking jokes". It can also be "My friend loves telling jokes". But not "My friend loves making jokes". Also, we usually say "dark eyes". If we want to say "black eyes", it's better one says that "the color of his eyes is black".
