When I first met my university flat mate, Emily, I didn’t really like her. I thought she was a bossy girl who liked giving people orders. However, when I got to know her we became friends and have been friends ever since. She is very energetic and caring person, who always offers to help people and organizes all kinds of events.

First of all, Emily is very pretty. She has stunning features and people always notice her large, green eyes and golden hair. But I think that her upturned nose is her best feature.

Emily is usually casually dressed. Her favourite clothes are her old jeans and her collection of T-shirts with the names of her favourite rock groups. Emily is always on a diet because she worries about putting on weight. She never believes me, when I tell her she’s very slim.

Emily is very outgoing and she is always the life and soul of the party. She is also very romantic, but she is fussy about who she talks to. She wants to find someone really special.

She is so clever and talented that she could have a great career, but she is not at all ambitious. She has no idea what she wants to do after she finishes her studies.
