Reading 1: This is me

So I'm Violet Greene a 22-year-old student. I was born on 3rd October 1989 in Paks. My friends call me Letty. I'm quite tall, 178 cm tall. I've got medium-length blonde wavy hair. I've got green eyes. I think my nose is a bit big, but I like my oval face. There is one more part of my body that I don't really like. My ears are protruding. I'm slim, but I should do some work-out to be fitter. I usually wear a top or a sweatshirt with a pair of jeans. I prefer casual clothes. When I have an exam I generally wear a dress or a suit. I like all kinds of jewellery.What can I say about my personality? I'm determined and busy. I'm wary; I like to know from which options I can choose. I always try to find out the best way to reach my goal, so I'm moderate, too. I'm loyal, nice and helpful, as well.

Oh. Where can I start? I'm Sophia Swede. I was born on 31st May 1981 in Debrecen. My nickname is Tiny because I'm only 155 cm tall. This nickname is from my brother, Tom. I'm a bit plump, so I'm on a diet. I want to loose some weight. I've got medium-length brownish-red hair and brown eyes. My eyes are big and I've got long eyelashes. I usually wear some make-up. I generally wear a dress or a skirt with a blouse or a top. I put on something casual when I'm at home, especially when I play with my son. I like jewellery and high-heeled shoes. As I said before I'm a bit perfectionist. I always try to do my best. I love my family. They are the first. I think, I'm reliable, warm-hearted, honest and careful. My family and my friends can count on me. One of my bad habits is that I can easily get worried, and the other is I'm really talkative.

Debrecen. So I'm 25 now. I'm 185 cm tall. I'm rather thin. That's why I work out weekly. I've got short red hair and blue eyes. My face is oval. My nose is snub. I've got lots of freckles. They come out in summer. I usually wear casual clothes. I like T-shirts and jeans both at work or at home. My boss says I'm reliable and always on time. Kate thinks I'm nice, romantic and loyal. My parents are on the opinion I work too hard. To my mind, I'm a hard-working, generous and peaceful man. But I have some characteristic features that I should change. Sometimes I'm stubborn when I think I know the truth. Moreover I can't ask for or accept someone's help easily. I know I'm not perfect.

As you know, I'm Charles Taylor. I'm in my forties. My nickname is Charlie. I was born on 20th July 1971 in Budapest (the capital of

Hungary). I'm 180 cm tall. I'm getting bald. My hair is short and brown. I've got browns eyes. I've got a round face with a snub nose. I haven't got a moustache and a beard. I don't really have time to lie in the sun or go to a solarium so my complexion is rather pale. I think I'm a bit stocky. I usually wear a suit at work but I prefer casual clothes when I am at home.I'm quite energetic and bossy. I'm a bit workaholic. I'm hard-working, and I want my employees to be the same.
