Познакомьтесь с моей тетей. Ее зовут Элис. Она замужем и у нее двое детей по имени ... В прошлом году тете Элис исполнилось 50, но она на них не выглядит. Она выглядит гораздо моложе своих лет. Тетя Элис очень привлекательная женщина, у нее умное доброе лицо, живые серые глаза, высокий лоб, прямой нос. У тети Элис есть свой стиль в одежде, она всегда одета с иголочки. Что касается характера, тетя Элис очень уравновешенный человек, общительный, легко ладит с людьми, у нее есть чувство юмора. Я всегда могу поговорить с ней на равных (to talk on equal terms with smb) и обсудить все свои проблемы. Тетя Элис обладает еще одним очень важным качеством, которое я ценю в людях - на нее всегда можно положиться. Единственный недостаток тети в том, что она не очень практична и не умеет разумно тратить деньги. Муж тети Элис, Джон Брэит, на шесть лет старше своей жены. По профессии он экономист и работает в одной их торговых компаний. С первого взгляда он может не понравиться, но вы обязательно поладите с ним, когда узнаете его лучше. |
