A description of yourself or anyone you know

My sister is in her late thirties. She is medium-height and thin. She has got medium-length wavy brown hair and big brown eyes with long eyelashes. She has got an oval face with a small and straight nose and full round lips. She is quite beautiful and what makes her look so attractive is the beauty spot she has got over her upper lip. These are her most outstanding physical features.

As regards her personality, she may seem like a distant or reserved woman because of her shyness. But when you get to know her, you realize she is a very interesting, good-tempered and warm person, who can also be really amusing and good fun when she feels in a relaxing atmosphere.   

A for and against essay

Should teenagers have mobile phones?

Most teens have mobile phones and a lot of them are hooked on them. Is this good or bad?

Mobile phones are certainly very useful. You can keep in touch with friends and family very easily and quickly. Moreover, you can use it in an emergency. Mobile phones have often saved lives.

However, mobile phones can be dangerous. The radiation from them can damage our health if we use them too much. They can also distract teenagers from their homework. Spending time sending messages instead of studying can make teens fall behind in their schoolwork.

All in all, mobile phones are very useful gadgets to have. However, teens should use them sensibly.
