MEETING PEOPLE. YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS.
I. Read/listen to some people describing their friends. Describe yourself, your family and your friends.
My best friend is called John. He's about 45, and he's quite tall. He's bald and he's got brown eyes. In the past we played football together every week, but we're both a bit old for that now. But we still meet about once or twice a month and go out for a meal.
OK, let me tell you about my friend, Lucy. She studies with me at university. She's very pretty and slim and she's got.... erm.... fair hair and blue eyes - yes, that's right. She wears glasses. What else? Well, she's my best friend so of course I think she's nice. She's quite shy. But when you get to know her she's very friendly.
My friend David is 28 years old. Actually, it's his birthday next week. I met him at school. Now he works as a manager in a supermarket. He's got dark hair and he's tall. He's a bit fat, and he's got a big black beard. I think he's very handsome. He's a really nice man too, and he's always ready to help you when you have a problem.
My friend Lisa is 26 years old and she's a doctor. Erm ... she is very slim. She's not very tall, and she's got long dark hair and beautiful green eyes. The last time I saw her was about three months ago, because she lives in Turkey. I really miss her.
