DESCRIPTION OF A PERSON
Text 1
I would like to talk about my best friend Lenka. I am so lucky to have her.
Lenka is small and quite slim. She has got an oval face with bright blue eyes and a big mouth. She has long brown wavy hair but she usually wears it in a ponytail. She is quite beautiful, especially when she smiles.
She always seems to be in a good mood. We have nearly the same hobbies and sometimes the same opinions. She always makes me feel sanguine by being positive and cheerful
I find her very honest; she always says what she thinks. It can be useful sometimes. For example when we go shopping she tells me frankly what fits me and what not. We are really close to each other. I don't know how it is possible but I am never bored with her. Sometimes she tends to be stubborn, she never admits her fault. But she is stubborn only with her parents, but we have never arguedI hope our friendship will be long and won't ever end.

Lord Henry looked at him. Yes, he was certainly wonderfully handsome, with his finely-curved scarlet lips, his frank blue eyes, his crisp gold hair. There was something in his face that made one trust him at once. All the candor of youth was there, as well as all youth’s passionate purity. One felt that he had kept himself unspotted from the world. No wonder Basil Hallward worshipped him. He was made to be worshipped.

Dorian Gray frowned and turned his head away. He could not help liking the tall, graceful young man who was standing by him. His romantic olive-colored face and worn expression interested him. There was something in his low, languid voice that was absolutely fascinating. His cool, white, flower-like hands, even, had a curious charm. They moved, as he spoke, like music, and seemed to have a language of their own.
