❇️ Reading passage
🛑 A person I would like to know more
I’m going to talk about an acquaintance whom I met 3 months ago. His name is John and he is about the same age as me. The first time I met him was when we took part in the same volunteer activities at an orphanage in my city. Regarding his appearance, I would have to say that he looks quite like an average man. He’s not too tall, not too short either and he has a medium build. But what I remember the most about him is that he has the brightest, most infectious smile with dimples, which makes him handsome. When it comes to his personality, honestly we only had a few brief conversations so I don’t know him really well. However, I suppose that he’s a very friendly and extrovert individual. On top of that, he is a very creative person. He has the ability to compose and perform the music on his own.
The reason why I would like to get to know him better is that I always have fun when I’m with him, so I’m naturally curious about what is happening in his life right now.
