D name/relationship to writer & when/where/how metHi Laurie,
I hope you’re OK. Let me tell you about my new neighbour, Nadia, who moved next door two months ago.
Nadia is a very attractive girl in her early twenties. She’s tall and dark-skinned with short dark hair and dark brown eyes that sparkle when she laughs. She’s always stylish and well-dressed, whether she’s in casual clothes or evening wear.
Nadia has a great personality. She’s very sociable and everyone she meets seems to like her. She also has a fantastic sense of humour, making us laugh all the time. She tends to be rather bossy, though, and often tells others what to do!
Although we haven’t known each other for that long, Nadia has become a good friend. Her kindness and great sense of humour make her great to hang out with.
Write back with your news.
Love,

Dear Lisa,
My favourite relative is my aunt Kate. She is my mother’s younger sister, and I have known her all my life. She often visits us, so we see each other quite often.
Kate is in her early forties and of medium height. She has short blond hair and beautiful blue eyes. She is always smartly dressed and looks very stylish.
She is very cheerful and easy-going, and she always makes everyone feel comfortable. She is also supportive and considerate, so I can talk to her about anything. If I could change one thing about her, I would make her less disorganised because she is often late.
I love my aunt very much and I’m really happy to have her in my life.
Best wishes,
Anna
