Unit V describing people

Read these short descriptions of people.
I’d like to tell you about my new friends: Ann and Nick.
Ann is a lively, talkative person in her late teens. She’s tall and slim. She’s got an oval face with a small turned-up nose. She’s very attractive. She’s got long, black wavy hair and blue eyes with very long eyelashes. Her lips are very full and she’s got dimples in her cheeks.
Nick is a very big guy, well-built with very broad shoulders. He’s in his early twenties. He’s got a long face with thin lips and a small scar on his chin. He’s got very short, fair hair and a moustache. I haven’t really noticed the colour of his eyes, he wears glasses. He’s got thick eyebrows and a long, straight nose. He’s honest, kind and reliable.
