Ex 5 page 70

Clare is a freelance journalist. She works long hours every day. But she never gets bored with her job. She is quite short and a bit plump. Sometimes she looks reserved and she is really shy with people she doesn’t know very well. But with her friends and family she is very lively. Everybody and spontaneous nature. I think she has a pretty smile, too. I also like her wavy, black hair. Her favourite colour is blue. She is an optimist with an extremely passionate mind. What I really appreciate about Clare is her creative outlook on life.
