My favourite cousin

I love all my family, especially my cousins. My favourite cousin is George. He is 17 years old. He's tall and slim. She's got short black hair and a very friendly face with a beautiful smile. He has thin lips and even teeth. The most wonderful thing on him is his hazel eyes.His dad worked as a doctor and his mother works in a clothes' shop. His brother is called Euthimis.

George is very friendly. He knows how to make other people happy and when I'm sad he talks to me like an older brother. He's a bit shy but he can make lots of friends if he wants. I love when George spends a lot of time with me. We listen to music together, we go for walks and sometimes he comes to my house and we hang out with my sister, who also loves George very much.

I think that everyone will love George because he can make others happy! I'm so happy that he's my cousin!

My friend Teodora

Theodora is an interesting person to me, because she makes me happy. She's 15 years old and she's in the 2nd year of Junior High School. She's got long blond hair and large blue eyes and she wears braces. She's tall and fit.She lives in Patra and I see her during our summer, Easter and Christmas Holidays.

Theodora is modest, polite, sociable, hard-working, generous, sensitive and cheerful. Theodora and I usually go camping together. Theodora likes playing games. I know I can rely on her. Even when our lives get busy, we still make time to communicate. Since I'm better at maths and science than her  and she's better at languages than me, we always help each other when we get confused about difficult assignments.

I hope that our friendship will continue and be just as strong after we graduate from High School...We would like to study at the same university too!

I LOVE THEODORA!

My best friend, Georgia

The person that makes me happy is my closest friend Georgia. Georgia is 13 years old, of average height and slim, with short brown hair and brown eyes. She has a beautiful smile.

I first met her at school, but we became best friends last summer. Our parents became friends too and go out together. Her parents are very good people and they are always kind with me. Her father is a waiter in a big hotel and her mother is a company assistant. She has two older sisters, Dimitra and Yiota, and a younger brother, Panayiotis.

We always go out together when we don't have school. We usually go to restaurants or for walks. We have many things in common: we like bikes, fashion, we have the same taste in films and music. She always laughs, she is friendly and helpful. For example, when I had broken my leg, she came homeevery day and kept me company for many hours.

For me, she is the best friend I 've ever had in my life! I hope we will be together for a long time!

Marie

A person who makes me happy is Marie. We are both 13 years old and we met three years ago.When I was 10 years old I had a car accident. I went to the hospital and there I met Marie who was there because she had broken her leg.

She is of average height and well-built. Her hair is dark, long and straight. Her face is round. She has hazel eyes and full lips. Before she came to Amfissa, she had lived in Athens with her family. Nowadays, she lives in Agia Euthimia with her mum and brother, Thimios. Her dad works in Athens.

When we are together, I have the time of my life. We go for walks, we cook, we read books, we watch films, we surf the internet, we listen to music. We have the same taste in music. In general all our interests are the same.

Marie is easy-going. She gets upset if something unfair happens. The most important thing is that we are dependable. I can trust Marie to do what I say se will do. when we disagree, we both get upset but Marie soon goes to the trouble to put things right, she is the peacemaker. I believe in Marie and I think we will be friends all our lives!

Asimina, a person who makes me really happy!

A person who makes me really happy all the time is Asimina. She's 13 years old and we're classmates. She's of average height, slim and fit. She has green eyes and long brown hair. She wears braces but her bright smile has nothing to envy! 

I met her four years ago and immediately I understood that she will be a special friend of mine for the rest of my life. Her dad is a lawyer and her mum is a civil servant.She also has an older sister, Ioanna.

Asimina likes music and sports. we listen the same kind of music, we hang out or watch films together. Moreover, she likes running. She runs faster than me! She is very out-going, polite, honest, cheerful and a few days ago I realised that she has a pretty loud voice!!!Sometimes, this loud voice gets on my nerves!

Overall, she is my best friend and I don't think that anyone can break up this friendship!

Irina

Irina is a young woman in her mid-30's. She's tall, well-built,with black hair and green eyes. She is my uncle’s wife, that means that she is my aunt. She comes from Moldova, where her  family lives. She was studying chemistry and when she came to Greece some years ago for vacations she met and fell in love with my uncle!

 

Despite our age difference we are very good friends and we do a lot of things together. She lives in Athens and every time we go to Athens, Irina, my sister and I go to the mall for shopping, cinema and eating. We usually spent most of the summer, Easter and Christmas holidays  together in their cottage house in the village. 

We both love dogs. She has a jack rusell named Raoul  and I have a pincher named Afrika.She teaches me how to knit and sew and how to make my nails. She also loves gardening. So everytime we are in the cottage , I help her with her plants.

Last Christmas we went to Moldova and met her family. They were all so nice and kind people, as Irina is. I’m very fond of Irina. She is a very intelligent person with many interests and a lot of skills. I like spending time with her, because I always learn something  new. She even started teaching me Russian!
