*Exercise 12. Read the composition about a boy Mark:
I’ll never forget the first time I met Mark. I was at a party, feeling a bit bored, when my eyes fell on this tall well-built young man in his mid-twenties. He had red shoulder-length hair and was really good looking. He was smartly dressed in a casual white cotton shirt and grey loose-fitting trousers. What really attracted me though, was his warm friendly smile. Of course, most people believe that his most stunning feature is almond-shaped green eyes. We started chatting and took to each other interest immediately.
Mark is a kind and understanding person who will always listen to you and offer help. He’s also very intelligent and mature enough for his age. Mark is really creative as he can come up with new ideas all the time. That’s why he’s very good at his job, although he’s not really obsessed with his career. Mark likes reading and travelling. As he’s very sociable and loves meeting new people, he’s got friends all over the world. Over the years, I’ve shared many good times with Mark.
