1 The Beach in Hawaii
A beach in Hawaii is like a paradise. To start
with, the beach smells fresh like a new ocean
air freshener. The sand is so hot that when
you walk on it after the sea, you feel like you
walk on a burning grill. Not far from the shore,
you can see the palm trees. They sway in the
air from the strong wind. You can see the navy
blue ocean every day. People are laughing and
playing on the burning sand, and others are
relaxing on the beach sunbathing. At nights,
you can only hear the waves of the ocean and
the light wind which comes from the huge
palm trees. To sum up, this beach is an
amazing place for a perfect summer holiday.
2 my friend Najib
My friend Najib is tall and slim, with pale skin and
curly dark hair. He has small brown eyes and an
oval, shiny face. Najib often wears casual clothes.
He is very funny and always makes me laugh. He
is also generous and sensitive, though sometimes
a bit tense. Najib loves playing football.
