    I am going to tell you about my mother. She is very beautiful not only by heart but by nature too. I have inherited kindness and discipline from her. She is slim. Her hair are of brown colours. Her hair are very long because she never used to trim off her hair at all. She is very kind and sympathetic. She really has a good sense of humour. She is a kind of moody because she gets angry very easily and then after scolding she loves a lot too. I starting taking her grumpy but when she told me her optimistic views I really got inspired by her. She says that the past is to forget because you are not to that direction.she helps everyone in the house. She used to tell me the stories of my childhood when I didn't eat food properly and she had to plan a treat for me.

      Thanks for sharing your response! Here are a few suggestions for your writing:
      1) 'Her hair is brown,' not, 'Her hair are of brown colours'.
      2) '...because she never usually trims off her hair...' not, '...because she never used to trim off her hair...'.
      3) 'She is kind of moody...' not, 'She is a kind of moody'.
      Hope this helps you!

    Thank you so much for your lesson.
    Today, I want to tell about my best friend, Nhung.
    Nhung is a pretty girl. She has a brown skin, a black hair and a lovely smile. She looks a bit like a younger version of my idol, Celine Dion but she never admit about that thing. I’ve known her for 5 years, we have the same class at high school. Everytime we meet up, we have lots of topic to talk about because Nhung and me have lots in common: the same music, the same films, the same sports and so on. She is so kind, honest and extremely hard. Next month, she is going to Japan to study because last year, she received a scholaship’s Japanese. I am proud of her.

    Now, I am going to talk about my friend, parichay. Though he is medium in size, he is very slim with his long curly hair. He is a really a considerate person as well as diligent in his work. In addition, he is not only generous but also very cheerful. As he is dedicated in his duty, he is very straightforward too. When he meets with me, he always first offers me for a hug. We have known each other for 8 years, since admission coaching for university. Thereafter, we got chance in the same University as well as in same subject. He is a fantastic programmer too. When I faced a problem in any programming related topic, he tried to overcome my difficulty. We get on well because we have a similar attitude and thoughts about life and we always have lots to talk about.

      2) 'He is a really considerate person,' or, 'He is really a considerate person,' not, 'He is a really a considerate person'.
      3) 'When I was faced with a problem...' not, 'faced a problem'.

    Vience is one of my good friends. He is tall and bury, not only looks like a bodhisattva, but also has a compassionate heart like a bodhisattva. Being a traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, his superb medical skills made him gained a lot of praise from his patients. We have know each other for years since he came to Australia. Many common interests, like medicine, history, philosophy, etc. got us met to chat sometimes when we had spare time. He went back to China to after his medical career last year, then we have not communicated for over one year, but I missed him a lot. Hope to see him some day later.

    I'm going to talk about my brother. He's well-built and quite tall. He has short, dark brown hair and actually, he really looks like me, people usually ask if we are twins, although he's younger than me. He always makes me laugh, he's a very funny person and everybody feels comfortable around him. Now we're living a bit far from each other, but it's always nice when we meet up: we watch series and geek movies. However, he's so moody! But I couldn't live without him, we get on really well.

    My friend is adnan, he is about twenty five years old. He is tall and well built. He plays many sports like football, cricket and table tennis. I believe these games play a major role in his strong physique. He have short black hairs with army style haircut. He is very friendly and welcoming to meet and make new friends. He has this positive energy that he makes you more passionate about life and realise that he is there for you when you need him. Normally he keeps quite but he can change atmosphere and all your pain go away with a single joke. Sometimes i wish i could be better as him because he makes feel other people so special to him. He is a generous guy he does spend his money for betterment of poor and he takes good care for his guests, i never seen anyone leaving him without having a tea, coffee or juice in a sitting. Apart of his social pros, he was hard working student in college and had passed with good grades. He was always helping other students with their assignments and preparing for exams. He was teachers favourite in all classes. Even now in his professional life he is well managed person and a team leader. He is very provocative and has new ideas to develop business to great heights. He is married with three kids. Two boys and one girl youngest of them. He really loves her and after office he spent most of his time in home with family. Its sad that i only see him now in some party or in a conference sometimes. We had great moments of life together for example once we went to hiking in mountain trails, i was a bit out of my shape and lousy in those days, everyone laughed at me and made jokes. But he was there all the times encouraging me and helping me to make me realize that i am not the quitter. It was him who kept me motivated throughout our time together. I wish my friend great success and happiness in his life. He is truly a friend indeed.

      2) 'He has this positive energy that makes you...' not, 'He has this positive energy that he makes you...'.

    I am going to tell you about my friend, Jenny. She is medium height and a little bit over-weighted, with black hair and small eyes. Since she is a considerate and cheerful person, we have become friends since we met at university. Actually, we have a lot in common. For example, we both like watching TV series and sampling the local cuisines. Everytime, when we meet up, we always have many things to talk about. I still remember when I was sick at university, it was her who sent me to hospital and accompanied me for the whole night regardless of the examination on the next day. I am so grateful that I have her to be my friend. If only she could work at the same city like me then we could hand out everyday!

    I'm going to talk about a great friend of mine called Andrew and who happens to be my husband. We met at university about ten years ago. He's medium height and well-built with short black hair. Andrew is very humble, calm and down to earth. He's such an honest guy too. I remember one time he transferred money via western union but later realised that the teller had sent much more than she was supposed to send. He insisted on covering the loss which the cashier had incurred. Andrew's nature has modelled me into the kind of Nurse that I am today. Over time, I've learned to be calm and more approachable.

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1
      @Oxfordonlineenglish1  7 років тому

      Hi Helen, thanks for sharing your answer. You wrote some very nice sentences. Here are a few corrections:
      1) Don't forget to capitalize, 'Western Union'.
      2) 'Nurse' is a common noun, so you don't have to capitalize that.
      Hope this helps!

    I'm going to talk about my friends Nao. I've known her since we were in primary school. She is slim fit and has curly brown hair. She is so considerate that she messaged me when I couldn't reply to her messages, due to my illness. In addition, she is so smart, she speaks Japanese of her mother tongue, of course, English and Chinese not of it too. However, there is also a negative side to her. She can be careless, she is always late for our appointments. But still, we get on well because we have similar dreams and thoughts about life and we always have lots to talk about.

    I am going to talk about my best friend. Her name is Jetmira, but I call her Berry. I have known my friend Jetmira for about two years. We met in high school because we were studying in the same year. She has long,black hair. She is medium height and really slim. Jetmira is really beautiful, with some striking features. For instance, her eyes are very black and quite small like Chinese girls. Furthermore, she has big lips, which are really awesome. I like her for several reasons.She is supportive, straightforward and smart. These are the qualities that i always look to someone to be my close friend. Moreover, she has got a good sense of humour. She always makes me laugh. I forgot to mention that she has a really nice smile. I can rely on her completely because she has always been honest with me. I don't think i could have a better friend than her. She is very optimistic about life . She always see the glass of water half full not half empty. This encourages me, too. We get on really well with each-other, because we have lots in common; we like the same genre of music, the same type of clothes, books and so on. However, we have a different taste about films. For example I love watching horror movies, but she hates horror films etc. In a nutshell, we are pretty similar with each other and she is not only my best friend, I can absolutely consider her my only sister because i share with her all my secrets.❤️

    She has a very striking features as well, one can't get their eyes off after meeting her.
    I can say she is the most powerful and straight forward person I have ever seen because after 5 years of suffering from cancer she is still considerate and warm one.
    She is a very well educated person and she also did jewelry designing course from NID, Ahmedabad.

He’s also reliable, I can share anything with him, he's always beside me in the difficult situations. Sometimes, he’s really fun. He likes making weird jokes. However, he can be a little unreliable sometimes, he often ‘’ forgets’’ to do things he promised me.
    I lived with him during 5 years when I was in university but now we don’t have chances to meet often. When we meet up we like watching films or going swim together.

    Hi, teacher.
    I just want to introduce my husband and talk to our story in here. We've known each other for about 2 years. At that time, We were a international student in the different university, we didn't know each other. but, we were a Christian, so we met at Korean Church in China. I think He was very kind and smart, I felt he was very warm to me. So I like him. One day, he confessed his love to me and I'm happy to accept his confess. After that, We got on well most of the time although we argued sometimes, too. And now we got married and came to Ethiopia as a chinese translator volunteer.
    Thank you for reading our story. And If there is any wrong sentence, please correct that. Thank you.

I am very grateful for that. But somethings she is a bit grumpy. She will explain when I don't put things in right place at my house.

He has really good sense of humour and he is a very jolly type person. He has a lot of passion for cars and spends most of the time talking about cars with me and my friends. He is quite helpful and reliable; one day we went to restaurant and after having our meal I noticed that my money bag was stolen while I was coming here so azraf paid the whole bill and also gave me money to return home. He never asked for that money from me. He is an attention seeker but he always entartain us with his weird stories. I have known him for like nine years. I met him at school. The first day we met, we became really good friends. Although we have different personalities but we get on really well. I guess its because opposite attracts.

    I'm going to talk about my older brother. He' twenty-three now. He is good looking with striking features and short dark hair. When discribing his characteristics, the first thing i think of is his kindness, when people around get trouble, he is willing to help them enthusiastically. Besides, he's really a optimistic person, he always thinks of postive things and makes people surrounding him feel funny and comfortable. I admire and respect his soft skills - he communicates well and also is a good saleman. We meet together often and get on really well despite arguing sometimes. We are always nice siblings each other now and forever. That's so delighted if i receive response from admin. This video is very useful with me. Thanks a lot!

    Let me talk about a best friend of mine here, Baloo. He is quite tall and well built. He has a bouffant and swept back, black hair. He is a very kind, considerate and warm person who can't hold back himself from helping needy when he comes across one of them. He has a very good sense of humour and is very entertaining. He always makes sure people around him are happy and has that ability to make any tension in the stressful atmosphere to fly away with his timely jokes. Though reliable, Baloo often forgets things and roam around; Myself, being his human diary should keep reminding him to do stuff. Other than that, Baloo is a very honest and a straight forward human whom I can trust blind foldedly, as he never lets me sleep with a heavy heart at the end of the day. When our conversation ends, he makes sure I'm alright and all my problems have got appropriate solutions. We've know each other for 2 years after we met online. We get on very well though we are complete opposites. We have different preference for food, movie, songs, clothes, color, hobbies. Yet, these doesn't get in the way of our friendship. Maybe that's why they say " opposite poles attract each other". He is an all-rounder for me : A friend with whom I can fool around and have fun, A brother who teases me to death, A guardian who protects me, A teacher who has solution for all my problems, a well wisher who makes sure nothing bad happens to me. He is my favourite human, whom I always look forward to.

I always think K is really alike with Joy a famous american sit-com called Friends, as you may know. He is such a considerate and high maintenance person in a good way. When I go out with him, he alway asks me if I am ok, like If I feel hot or cold. He manages his life very well as he lives himself. In addition, he is really good at manage time schedule as well. Once we organized a mutual friends' wedding party together. He planned everything with details. It was very incredible! Although he is such a nice person, he sometimes moody. Sometimes I do not know how I can talk to him. We've met the wedding party for the first time, which is about 12 years ago. Since then we get on very well because our hometown is the same.

    My best friend is Viet Anh. When I was in tenth grade, he and I were in the same class and we’ve known each other ever since. He has black hair and small black eyes. He is pretty tall, about 173 centimeters, and average weight. The sad thing is that I’m not as tall as him. He is an extrovert, thoughtful, and is extremely confident. In contrast, I’m more introverted and shy than him. He always thinks of other people’s wishes and feelings. We always tell each other everything. When I had a problem, he would give me advice and tell me the truth more than anyone. For these reasons, I like him. In conclusion, Viet Anh is my best friend until now, and I hope we can keep this friendship forever.

    Hi Martin, Have a nice day! Thank for your video, it’s very useful.
    Today I want to introduce to you one of most important person in my life, My Grandmother.
    In my memories, She is most considerate I have seen. She helped other peoples from bottom of her heart so she got a big love from everyone who live in my village . She used to think for members of family before herself. She gave all her love for family. Althought she was thin, her hair had grey color but she worked all time. It seemed as she didn’t waste any moment of her life. When I had graduated highshool, I came to Ha Noi capital for university. It’s about 400 kms from my hometown. I got homesick, I missed my family, I missed her, I missed family foods because My Grandmy was a great cooker. Althought I lost her 3 years ago, but she always stay in my heart.

    My family means everything to me and losing one of them was really difficult. The one that I lost is my father. I will never forget him because he was more that just a father for me.
    He was tall and well-built. He had a short b’ack hair. He looked younger that he’s real age because he gave up smoking for a long time and he lived a very healthy lifestyle by eating clean and exercising.
    My father had a good sense of humour. He was really funny. He always liked to making jokes, generally at the most inappropriate moment. I remember one time I got 5/20 in maths. He got really angry, but just few minutes he started laughing and told me “like father like daughter”, because he was as well bad in maths.
    He was the first man I fall in love with. He was a protection for me. I love him and I will always do.

Her face is round on which has always a gentle smile. She is very reliable and considerate. Although she was a general manager, she always asks staffs' ideas and try to meet any their requests or expectations. And when she promises doing something, absolutely it is done. However, these characteristics cause some issues sometimes. I remembered when we have chosen a place to hold teambuilding, we lost too time simply because she questioned all staffs, one by one. The result was when we had the decision, flight ticket increased a little bit. But it was the small things not to deserve concern. Everyone loves her. On the day she left the company, all staffs felt sorrow. Some female staffs were in tears. For me, she was not only my manager, but also like my sister. She helped me a lot although I had only two years to work with her. Perhaps, I never meet anyone like her from the rest of life.

    I am going to talk about a friend of mine, Melissa. She is a great friend. Great because she is very tall and I am so much small. People at high school used to say "the ant and the giraffe", but that was not a problem for us. Well, she is tall, quite slim, wich dark short hair and oriental eyes (because she is descendent of Chinese).
    We met at school when we were teenagers. We get on very well because we always have things to talk although I am extroverted and she is introverted. At first, when I met her, I thought she was very dull, really boring and shy but, day by day, I discovered that she is an amazing girl.
    As a friend, she is a very warm and straightforward person. That is because she is always providing care, she is sincere and never say things in a way that would hurt people, she knows exactly how to say things and never is involved in gossip. Even being introverted, she says what should be said and with me, she always has things to talk. We can talk for hours! Our conversations are the most interesting of all. Also, I know that I can count with her to anything and she knows the same about me.
    Unhappily, nowadays I do not see my best friend forever often because she lives in another country. Though we use the internet to chat. Social media is there to help our friendship! Every time that she came back to our country, we spend some time together. And I had a chance to visit her abroad, so, we had the opportunity to do things that friends. I love her like a sister, and she is very important to me.

    My friend A is tall and a little thin. He has short, black hair. A is really white skin, without acnes. He is such a reliable guy. He always keeps promize with me. And he so considerate because he usually takes care of everybody, seldom invites me to eat,swim,go to the cinema. Sometimes I think"he love me?", but no, he said" cuz you are my best friend" . He treats respect with anyone, that's embarrassing for me. However, he can be a quite dull, he don't know talking about funny stories,it's difficult for him. But that's ok, it can be improve
    We've each other three years when t started learning in high school. He is my classmate. Now and then, we get on very well. Although we don't meet each other anymore, we still keep up with through facebook, zalo. He is good person and I like him, my friend.

    I’m gonna talk about my friend, Phuong. She is medium tall, and she is shorter than me. She is really slim. If you ask me what I like most in her, I will answer it is her hair. Her hair is long dark hair, which is so beautiful. She looks a bit like Vietnam women in the past with long hair. She is really pretty and has a nice smile. Phuong is warm and has a sense of humor. She always cares about everyone around her. I always share my secrets with her because she is such a reliable girl. If I am sad, she will make me laugh and support me. But sometimes, I feel that she’s a forgetful person. For examples, she said we would go shopping the previous week, but she forgot it immediately. It is really terrible. I’ve known her for nearly 4years, since high school. We get on really well, although we sometimes have an agreement. It will pass after some hours and we will talk again. Now, we don’t study in the same university, but we still chat through Facebook every day, meet each other twice a week. We have the same attitude to life and I don’t want to end my relationship with her. I really adore her.
    Please check for me! thanks, lots!!!!

She always listens to me and gives me a hug when I am in trouble. Whenever I am in need, she stands by me all the time. She has a good educational background. I sometimes ask her something related to my study and teaching way. She is willing to help me. She is really trustworthy. She never forgets to do things she promised she would. In addition, my secrets I told her, she always keep them and never reveals. However, she is a bit humourless. She is a serious person. Sh does not like to be told jokes. I love her anyway. I feel comfortable and safe when I am her friend. We have known each other since we were at university. We get on very well because we have a lot in common and we usually talk on the phone to share every thing with one another. We all have passion for studying, reading books and so on.

She always tells jokes when I am a bit down in the dumps. Ivy is great, but she can be a little self-centred sometimes. She rarely thinks about the needs or feelings of other people.

Although, he likes making weird jokes generally at the most inappropriate he knows the ways that make everyone comfortable when they around him.

We’ve known each other for more than two decades. without exaggeration, we met when we were babies before we could even crawl. for that reason, We get on quite well because we share the same lifestyle and we are doing the same sport. we have a similar attitude to life, Because he is my closest neighbors, we meet up often. We always have lots to talk about, especially when we stroll along the beach.
    Please correct my mistake if any. I guess there are some.!!

He's very straightforward person but sometime he becomes a little bit shy in front of new people . He's a kind person . One day little a boy came to him and asking for help , his mother was sick and needed to be admit to hospital that time he was very busy still he helped them . He's also a short-tempered person . Some time he can't control himself . But overall he's a nice person .We've known each other for three and half years . We met at university . Then we became very good friend.

    My friend, Cynthia is quite tall and lanky. She is fair and has golden shoulder-length hair. She has oval face and full lips. She is elegant. My friend is a very sociable person. She can communicate very well since she was very young. She is very considerate and warm so I feel comfortable around her but sometimes she can be a bit emotional about her boyfriend. We've known each other for 11 years now. We met at the very first day of school. We get on very well although we argue sometimes too.

    I am going to talk about my friend. She is very reliable. I used to approach her for many things. Even if she is busy with her schedule she does for me.

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1
      @Oxfordonlineenglish1  3 роки тому

      Great! Here are a few tips for you:
      1) Do you currently approach her for many things, or was this only a habit in the past? If it is currently true, you can say, 'I usually approach her,' not, 'I used to,' which means it is not true now.
      2) '...busy with her schedule she helps me,' not, 'does for me'.
      Hope that helps!
