My Best Friend

Friendship is very important for me. I'm happy because I have a faithful friend. Her name is Kseniya. 

We met 4 years ago at the birthday party of our mutual friend. It turned out we had a lot of common interests. And now I want to tell you what she looks like. 

Kseniya is pretty in her own way. She is slender and not very tall, with shoulder-lenght, straight and blond hair. She has very beautiful green eyes with thick eyelashes. My friend has a straight nose that makes her more pretter. Her smile is sincere and charming. 

As for her character. She is clever, purposeful and hard-working at the same time. So, she trys do everything in the best way. Kseniya always achives her goals. Also my friend is very kind and helpful. She always supports and helps me in difficult situations. Kseniya  is very responsible and reliable too. She never lets me down. My friend is easy-going and everybody communicates with Kseniya with pleasure. Of course, she has a negative qualities. Kseniya can be too impulsive and excitable at times. Also my friend like to criticize and sometimes her criticism hurt feelings of others. 

As for her interests. My friend is fond of reading books and she has a lot of them at home. She is also loves to write different stories; by the way, when Kseniya was a child, she wanted to be a writer and now she dreams to be a journalist. I think that it's suited profession for her. Her interests also include: travelling, museums, art, cooking and music. Kseniya knows a lot of interesting facts about music, famous people and history. She certainly is  hard-working person, but to tell the truth sometimes she goes out to party or disco and return home very late at night - or rather, early in the morning. As you see Kseniya is different in her behave.

So, I think we are good friends, because we can rely on each other, cheer each other up, keep each other's secrets. I hope that our friendship will last for very, very long time.

My Best Friend.

My best friend.

We met for the first time in summer camp for English learners. It was arranged by our school. We lived in one room, we were neighbours. It was the best time in my life.

Now, I want to describe you my best friend. Her name is Yana and she is 18. She is very pretty. Her hear is straight and red. She wears her hair loose and fringe, she suites her. Her face is pale, oval. Yana’s eyes are green. She has a charming smile.

As for me her character is perfect. She is sensible and competitive; she works really hard every day. Also, she is rational and self-confident; it helps her to control my impulsive character and gives me good advices. In spite of her practical side, she is tender, emotional and thoughtful. Sometimes, Yana tends to be critical and stubborn, because she wants to be good specialist in journalism.

She has plenty of hobbies. Reading, writing a novel, I am sure it will be successful. Her life is full of interests and she makes my life interesting.  I love her and I am very grateful to her.

My best best friend!!!

I am going to describe my best friend Ani. To tell the truth, I don`t remember when I met her. I suppose, I was about 10 years old. We attended a swimming club together. Ani is a little bit older than me, she is 22. However I`ve never felt this difference.
My best friend is very pretty and she is always well-dressed. Usually she wears casual clothes but sometimes she prefers dresses and skirts. Ani is rather short as her height is about 155 cm. She comes from Armenia that`s why her complexion is dark and her hair is black. Usually Ani wears her shoulder-length hair in a ponytail. But I should say that it suits her much better when she wears her hair loose. Ani has quite weak eyesight that`s why sometimes she has to wear glasses.
As for her character, she is extremely kind. I have never met such people before. She never says any bad thing about other people behind their backs. She is very cheerful and welcoming. When I come to her house I always feel like at home and she is ready to receive me at any time. What was very surprising for me is that the last time I visited her she told I should have come with my mom. I`m sure, it was not told to express her politeness but she really wanted to see her. Ani is so sincere that when I talk to her I want to become much better than I am, as I know I have a lot of drawbacks in comparison with her.
However there is one thing which is a little bit annoying for me. Ani tends to complain about her problems too often. Sometimes I come to her in a good mood and leave worrying about different insignificant things.
As for her interests, they are varied. To start with, she still attends the swimming club. She even took part in Paralympics where she won a bronze medal. However sport is not the only thing she is interested in. She also likes going to performances and ballets. Ani visited plenty of countries from which she brought different knick-knacks which she collects.
All things considered, Ani is a really good friend and I hope now you understand why I call her my best friend!

Dash - the one and the only!

I've known her since I remember myself. We were always together playing different games, exploring around the house, making useless attempts to operate a doll. Darya Nesterova, 17 years old, and I were and are still the best childhood amigos.
Dasha is a very pretty girl, who always wears brand-new clothes and changes into a casual vest or pyjamas when she is at home. She has never been overweight a bit, always keeping fit and making guys stare and feel drawn to her shapely legs. She's got shoulder-blades-length wavy brown hair and usually wears it loose. Her fair complexion mixes up with her perfectly oval face. She possesses big hazel eyes and a turned up tiny nose.
There's a unique connection between us - a special language of souls we share. I'm so glad I found her long ago and hope we'll stay friends for good. Even though we've been acquainted for 16 years, I haven't completely analysed her personality. This makes our relationships interesting and adventurous.
What I like most about Dash is that she's always cheerful and positive, no matter how bad things are. She's always ready to support you in difficult situations, which makes her very considerate. She is extremely reliable, so you can be sure that your secrets and mysteries won't be revealed the next day. As for her best feature, she is very uncompromising person and does her job demandingly but with passion. Moreover, being sensible and demanding doesn't prevent her from being tender when communicating with close people. Dash in candid and determined enough to say what she thinks face to face.
Besides the enlisted characteristics, she shows a tendency of being a little bit lazy at times. She's got a potential to make her dreams happen, but doesn't use it often. As for me, this is her worst drawback.

P.S. I'm so sorry, my Internet connection is so poor so I can't post the photo right now. I'll do it later )

My Best Friend

My best friend's name is Daria and she is 17.

          I’ve known Dasha since my first day at school, when we were only six. I can remember her smiling face as the teacher, Elena Anatolievna, asked me to share the same desk with her.

          Dasha is a very pretty girl. She is tall and slim. She often wears her long dark hair in a pony-tail. She has got a round face with beautiful light-blue eyes and a straight nose.

        Dasha prefers comfortable clothes and can often be seen wearing a jumper, a pair of jeans and trainers.

          Dasha is a kind person who will listen to your problems and try to help you. She always tries to understand me and my feelings. Dasha knows that she can rely on me too. Also, I respect my friend for her modesty and strong will.

   What I don’t like about Dasha is her obstinacy.

       Dasha is a student of Crimean University for Humanities. Like me, she wants to be a teacher in the future.

     Daria is quite active and enjoys outdoor activities. One of her favourite hobbies is playing tennis. Also, she likes going to the cinema and is especially fond of adventure films.

            I have shared much good time with Dasha. She is one of my best and most trusted friends.

I feel fortunate to have met her!

Best friend

I  almost sure that  all of us have a person, whom he can call friend and luckily I’m not an exception. So, I’m going to tell you about my close friend – Nikita. We  had known  each other for about 12 years, but became real friends only 2 years ago.

Nikita is rather handsome and good-looking boy. He usually wears casual clothes, but for special occasions he wears smart clothes. In his teens he is medium – height about 1, 79 cm and medium built. He always keeps fit, as he attends sport club.

He has got short dark haircut. His beautiful blue eyes are full of cheerfulness and energy. You never see him sitting in one place, he is always in motion. What makes him more charming is his pretty dimples on his cheeks and of course his sincere smile.

He’s very easy-going and resilient. Nikita is person with a great sense of humor.  He always tries to talk about what his partner is interested in, even if he sees person for the  first time . It’s one of his features which impressed me, as for it’s quite difficult to feel comfortably in stranger’s company. Never the less he’s very reliable. He never brings you down. Nikita is always responsible for his actions. And I appreciate it. In my case Nikita is a good shoulder to cry on, he know how sensitive and even humble I could be. If I have problems, he never leaves me, otherwise always hear me out if it’s need give me piece of advice and of course supports  and cheers with good words. Nikita tries to help me to overcome my complexes. Unfortunately everyone has its own drawbacks and Nikita isn’t an exception. Sometimes he tends to be a bit demanding to himself and to others. He always wants to do all the best. No mistake should be permit. If something goes wrong he becomes impulsive and aggressive.

Nikita is very versatile person. He enjoys traveling. His favorite occupation is going to wild places. I never share this hobby. I’m too cowardly for such experiments.  He also likes to create new programs for computer s and other gadgets. I usually turn for help to him, as I’m not very good in it. Moreover he’s interested in literature and cinematography. We can spend tremendous amounts of time discussing it.

Unfortunately, now we don’t see each other as much as we would like to, as Nikita entered the University in another city and doesn’t have a possibility to go home often, so we keep in touch through the Internet.  But I hope we always will be friends. All in all I appreciate our friendship, it means a lot for us.

I’m a Virgo according to the zodiac sign. And as I’ve said before not all features of character of this sign inherent me. Virgo is the most practical sign of the zodiac. Virgos are hardworking people. They can’t sit idle. Of course I like doing nothing but not much time because I get bored. Virgos are wonderful performers capable to perfect their technique for years. I’ve draw since childhood and I do it nice. I get new knowledge from books and perfect them in practice. The most important decisions in their life Virgos made based on the judgment‚ ability to calculate the situation. They don’t take into account emotions‚ intuition prompts. And really I don’t live for the day‚ I always think about my future. I try to take any information adequality and safely although I very sensitive person. Virgo is not very confident.

Moreover, they often emotionalize their conflicts with other people on account of being very sensitive and temperamental simultaneous. Being sensitive is also the main reason why  it is so easy to reduce these people to tears. Being obstinate and hot-blooded Taurus makes it hard to believe that they are very gullible. They are not aware of your lies until you tell them. On the contrary, they are good liars themselves, but they never tell a lie without a sensible reason. People of this sign are usually very ambitious. They easily build up plans for the furthest future, which seem very unrealistic when you hear about them for the first time. Being energetic and competitive helps Taurus organize their time properly therefor they are always in time for an appointment. As for the best feature, Taurus is very generous.

"Vika Krylova" word cloud

I'm glad to hear these characteristics from people who know me not so long. They are positive and it pleases. All these words in more or less extent really describe me. I agree with all characteristics that my group mates gave me. Although I don’t agree with one of the them, I don’t think that I’m bossy. I can organize something, but I will not command the people and I will not indicate what and how they must do something.
