I am going to tell you about my mother. She is very beautiful not only by heart but by nature too. I have inherited kindness and discipline from her. She is slim. Her hair are of brown colours. Her hair are very long because she never used to trim off her hair at all. She is very kind and sympathetic. She really has a good sense of humour. She is a kind of moody because she gets angry very easily and then after scolding she loves a lot too. I starting taking her grumpy but when she told me her optimistic views I really got inspired by her. She says that the past is to forget because you are not to that direction.she helps everyone in the house. She used to tell me the stories of my childhood when I didn't eat food properly and she had to plan a treat for me.
Thanks for sharing your response! Here are a few suggestions for your writing:
1) 'Her hair is brown,' not, 'Her hair are of brown colours'.
2) '...because she never usually trims off her hair...' not, '...because she never used to trim off her hair...'.
3) 'She is kind of moody...' not, 'She is a kind of moody'.
Hope this helps you!
Good

I'm going to tell you about a great person, Mr Martin a teacher at Oxford channel on RUclips, I've known for 1 month just when i was searching on RUclips for English lessons and since then, i have been watching most of his videos with a big smile, really fortunate that i stumbled through your educational and helpful videos. 🎉
I am going to tell you about my friend, Jenny. She is medium height and a little bit over-weighted, with black hair and small eyes. Since she is a considerate and cheerful person, we have become friends since we met at university. Actually, we have a lot in common. For example, we both like watching TV series and sampling the local cuisines. Everytime, when we meet up, we always have many things to talk about. I still remember when I was sick at university, it was her who sent me to hospital and accompanied me for the whole night regardless of the examination on the next day. I am so grateful that I have her to be my friend. If only she could work at the same city like me then we could hand out everyday!
Nice, Lingping. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'overweight,' not, 'over-weighted,'.
2) '...we have been friends since we met,' not, '...we have become friends since we met'.
3) '...sent me to the hospital,' not, '...sent me to hospital'.
Hope this is useful for you!

I'm going to talk about my brother. He's well-built and quite tall. He has short, dark brown hair and actually, he really looks like me, people usually ask if we are twins, although he's younger than me. He always makes me laugh, he's a very funny person and everybody feels comfortable around him. Now we're living a bit far from each other, but it's always nice when we meet up: we watch series and geek movies. However, he's so moody! But I couldn't live without him, we get on really well.
Thanks for your answer Thaiza!

Today, I want to tell about my best friend, Nhung.
Nhung is a pretty girl. She has a brown skin, a black hair and a lovely smile. She looks a bit like a younger version of my idol, Celine Dion but she never admit about that thing. I’ve known her for 5 years, we have the same class at high school. Everytime we meet up, we have lots of topic to talk about because Nhung and me have lots in common: the same music, the same films, the same sports and so on. She is so kind, honest and extremely hard. Next month, she is going to Japan to study because last year, she received a scholaship’s Japanese. I am proud of her.

Now, I am going to talk about my friend, parichay. Though he is medium in size, he is very slim with his long curly hair. He is a really a considerate person as well as diligent in his work. In addition, he is not only generous but also very cheerful. As he is dedicated in his duty, he is very straightforward too. When he meets with me, he always first offers me for a hug. We have known each other for 8 years, since admission coaching for university. Thereafter, we got chance in the same University as well as in same subject. He is a fantastic programmer too. When I faced a problem in any programming related topic, he tried to overcome my difficulty. We get on well because we have a similar attitude and thoughts about life and we always have lots to talk about.

Being a traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, his superb medical skills made him gained a lot of praise from his patients. We have know each other for years since he came to Australia. Many common interests, like medicine, history, philosophy, etc. got us met to chat sometimes when we had spare time.

Hi Martin I love your style of imparting skills of English speaking.
I'm going to talk about a great friend of mine called Andrew and who happens to be my husband. We met at university about ten years ago. He's medium height and well-built with short black hair. Andrew is very humble, calm and down to earth. He's such an honest guy too. I remember one time he transferred money via western union but later realised that the teller had sent much more than she was supposed to send. He insisted on covering the loss which the cashier had incurred. Andrew's nature has modelled me into the kind of Nurse that I am today. Over time, I've learned to be calm and more approachable.
Hi Helen, thanks for sharing your answer. You wrote some very nice sentences. Here are a few corrections:
1) Don't forget to capitalize, 'Western Union'.
2) 'Nurse' is a common noun, so you don't have to capitalize that.
Hope this helps!
Here I am going talk about my best friend. He is fairly tall and slim. Although, he is going bald fast he is very handsome. He always wears jeans with T-shirt trainers and in the winter he wear a leather coat. He walks very fast and it is very difficult to keep up with. He knows a lot of jokes and funny anecdotes but he talks a lot. He is very generous person and with positive thoughts always ready to help. He can tells very funny jokes and at the most inappropriate moment and he really gets on well with everyone and can make jokes about everyone even if you meet him for the first time. Right now he is on holiday in Austria. I like this channel , Thump up OOE!
I'm gonna tell about my friend who works with me at a private sector. He is short and little bit overweighted but I like him bcoz he has good sense of humor very entertaining people he is. Bcoz of him I never feel irritated or sad while working in office with him. First time I met him about 6 months ago. I've been friend of each other since then. I like these type of people. I'm from India.
****Thanks teacher ****

Thank You for This Lesson
Let me talk about a best friend of mine here, Baloo. He is quite tall and well built. He has a bouffant and swept back, black hair. He is a very kind, considerate and warm person who can't hold back himself from helping needy when he comes across one of them. He has a very good sense of humour and is very entertaining. He always makes sure people around him are happy and has that ability to make any tension in the stressful atmosphere to fly away with his timely jokes. Though reliable, Baloo often forgets things and roam around; Myself, being his human diary should keep reminding him to do stuff. Other than that, Baloo is a very honest and a straight forward human whom I can trust blind foldedly, as he never lets me sleep with a heavy heart at the end of the day. When our conversation ends, he makes sure I'm alright and all my problems have got appropriate solutions. We've know each other for 2 years after we met online. We get on very well though we are complete opposites. We have different preference for food, movie, songs, clothes, color, hobbies. Yet, these doesn't get in the way of our friendship. Maybe that's why they say " opposite poles attract each other". He is an all-rounder for me : A friend with whom I can fool around and have fun, A brother who teases me to death, A guardian who protects me, A teacher who has solution for all my problems, a well wisher who makes sure nothing bad happens to me. He is my favourite human, whom I always look forward to.
Love you
Nice response about your friend, Divya. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) '...who can't hold himself back...' not, '...who can't hold back himself...'.
2) '...in the atmosphere fly away with...' not, 'to fly away'.
3) '...and roams around,' not, 'roam'.
Hope this helps you!

My friend A is tall and a little thin. He has short, black hair. A is really white skin, without acnes. He is such a reliable guy. He always keeps promize with me. And he so considerate because he usually takes care of everybody, seldom invites me to eat,swim,go to the cinema. Sometimes I think"he love me?", but no, he said" cuz you are my best friend" . He treats respect with anyone, that's embarrassing for me. However, he can be a quite dull, he don't know talking about funny stories,it's difficult for him. But that's ok, it can be improve

Hi Martin, I'm from Japan. Thank you for the useful video!
I'm going to talk about my friends Nao. I've known her since we were in primary school. She is slim fit and has curly brown hair. She is so considerate that she messaged me when I couldn't reply to her messages, due to my illness. In addition, she is so smart, she speaks Japanese of her mother tongue, of course, English and Chinese not of it too. However, there is also a negative side to her. She can be careless, she is always late for our appointments. But still, we get on well because we have similar dreams and thoughts about life and we always have lots to talk about.
Such a perfect vid. I'm really thankful to you Martin.
I am going to talk about my best friend. Her name is Jetmira, but I call her Berry. I have known my friend Jetmira for about two years. We met in high school because we were studying in the same year. She has long,black hair. She is medium height and really slim. Jetmira is really beautiful, with some striking features. For instance, her eyes are very black and quite small like Chinese girls. Furthermore, she has big lips, which are really awesome. I like her for several reasons.She is supportive, straightforward and smart. These are the qualities that i always look to someone to be my close friend. Moreover, she has got a good sense of humour. She always makes me laugh. I forgot to mention that she has a really nice smile. I can rely on her completely because she has always been honest with me. I don't think i could have a better friend than her. She is very optimistic about life . She always see the glass of water half full not half empty. This encourages me, too. We get on really well with each-other, because we have lots in common; we like the same genre of music, the same type of clothes, books and so on. However, we have a different taste about films. For example I love watching horror movies, but she hates horror films etc. In a nutshell, we are pretty similar with each other and she is not only my best friend, I can absolutely consider her my only sister because i share with her all my secrets.❤️
Thanks for sharing, Serie. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) Always capitalize 'I' in a sentence.
2) '...qualities that I always look for in a close friend,' not, '...qualities that i always look to someone to be my close friend'.
3) 'She always makes me laugh,' not, 'make'.
Hope this helps you!
Oxford Online English Thank you so much . Very useful 🙏

My family means everything to me and losing one of them was really difficult. The one that I lost is my father. I will never forget him because he was more that just a father for me.
He was tall and well-built. He had a short b’ack hair. He looked younger that he’s real age because he gave up smoking for a long time and he lived a very healthy lifestyle by eating clean and exercising.
My father had a good sense of humour. He was really funny. He always liked to making jokes, generally at the most inappropriate moment. I remember one time I got 5/20 in maths. He got really angry, but just few minutes he started laughing and told me “like father like daughter”, because he was as well bad in maths.
He was the first man I fall in love with. He was a protection for me. I love him and I will always do.
Thanks for sharing your answer, Selma. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'He has short black hair,' not, 'He had a short b’ack hair'.
2) '...younger than his real age,' not 'he's'.
3) 'He always liked to make jokes,' not, 'making'.
Hope this helps you!

My friend is adnan, he is about twenty five years old. He is tall and well built. He plays many sports like football, cricket and table tennis. I believe these games play a major role in his strong physique. He have short black hairs with army style haircut. He is very friendly and welcoming to meet and make new friends. He has this positive energy that he makes you more passionate about life and realise that he is there for you when you need him. Normally he keeps quite but he can change atmosphere and all your pain go away with a single joke. Sometimes i wish i could be better as him because he makes feel other people so special to him. He is a generous guy he does spend his money for betterment of poor and he takes good care for his guests, i never seen anyone leaving him without having a tea, coffee or juice in a sitting. Apart of his social pros, he was hard working student in college and had passed with good grades. He was always helping other students with their assignments and preparing for exams. He was teachers favourite in all classes. Even now in his professional life he is well managed person and a team leader. He is very provocative and has new ideas to develop business to great heights. He is married with three kids. Two boys and one girl youngest of them. He really loves her and after office he spent most of his time in home with family. Its sad that i only see him now in some party or in a conference sometimes. We had great moments of life together for example once we went to hiking in mountain trails, i was a bit out of my shape and lousy in those days, everyone laughed at me and made jokes. But he was there all the times encouraging me and helping me to make me realize that i am not the quitter. It was him who kept me motivated throughout our time together. I wish my friend great success and happiness in his life. He is truly a friend indeed.
Nice answer about your friend. Here are some suggestions for you:
1) 'He has short black hair with an army-style haircut,' not, 'He have short black hairs with army style haircut'.
2) 'He has this positive energy that makes you...' not, 'He has this positive energy that he makes you...'.
3) 'Sometimes I wish I could be as good as him...' not, 'Sometimes i wish i could be better as him...'.

Here I am gonna describe about Oli.He is a good looking guy. He has good smile. His way of teaching is good. He is the best online tutor .I have ever seen like him.
I’m a straightforward person. I often say what I think. Some people like it and some don’t. It’s difficult for me to lie my emotion about something. I know with this personality I will have more problem in my life but I accept this to live a real life.
• Bob has a childlike directness that is quite admirable. He’s spontaneous and frank, and he will describe what he is feeling to your face openly. You will get an honest and unbiased opinion from him all the time. He’s not complex like us, and his mind is not riddled with complications. Such an innocent, unaffected charm has made him very popular in school.
I love this videos. its very useful and smiliar. I watching every day. Thank you so much. I love it
My sister is medium height. She has short black hair and full-faced. I really love her eyes which is very round and bright. She is kind and considerate. She always helps me when I have problems. I am very grateful for that. But somethings she is a bit grumpy. She will explain when I don't put things in right place at my house. We get on very well because we are all quite funny and often make fun of each other. I absolutely like going shopping with her because she always has a good deal and buys many things with reasonable price.
Thank you for fixing my mistakes!

I can say she is the most powerful and straight forward person I have ever seen because after 5 years of suffering from cancer she is still considerate and warm one.
She is a very well educated person and she also did jewelry designing course from NID, Ahmedabad.
She helps my dad in his jewelry business also in designing work.

He has really good sense of humour and he is a very jolly type person. He has a lot of passion for cars and spends most of the time talking about cars with me and my friends. He is quite helpful and reliable; one day we went to restaurant and after having our meal I noticed that my money bag was stolen while I was coming here so azraf paid the whole bill and also gave me money to return home. He never asked for that money from me. He is an attention seeker but he always entartain us with his weird stories. I have known him for like nine years. I met him at school. The first day we met, we became really good friends. Although we have different personalities but we get on really well. I guess its because opposite attracts.

I sometimes ask her something related to my study and teaching way. She is willing to help me. She is really trustworthy. She never forgets to do things she promised she would. In addition, my secrets I told her, she always keep them and never reveals. However, she is a bit humourless. She is a serious person. Sh does not like to be told jokes. I love her anyway. I feel comfortable and safe when I am her friend. We have known each other since we were at university.

I am going to talk about my friend, K. His hight is average and well-built. He has short hair without any grey hair as his age. I always think K is really alike with Joy a famous american sit-com called Friends, as you may know. He is such a considerate and high maintenance person in a good way. When I go out with him, he alway asks me if I am ok, like If I feel hot or cold. He manages his life very well as he lives himself. In addition, he is really good at manage time schedule as well. Once we organized a mutual friends' wedding party together. He planned everything with details. It was very incredible! Although he is such a nice person, he sometimes moody. Sometimes I do not know how I can talk to him. We've met the wedding party for the first time, which is about 12 years ago. Since then we get on very well because our hometown is the same.
Thanks for sharing your answer. Here are a few corrections for you:
1) 'His height is average and he is well-built,' not, 'His hight is average and well-built'.
2) '...grey hair at his age,' not, 'as'.
3) '...K is a lot like Joy, a famous American...' not, '...K is really alike with Joy a famous american...'.

My cousin is quite tall and well-built. He has short black hair. He looks so handsome. He’s kind and warm. He always takes care of me. He’s also reliable, I can share anything with him, he's always beside me in the difficult situations. Sometimes, he’s really fun. He likes making weird jokes. However, he can be a little unreliable sometimes, he often ‘’ forgets’’ to do things he promised me.
I lived with him during 5 years when I was in university but now we don’t have chances to meet often. When we meet up we like watching films or going swim together.

Hi, teacher.
I just want to introduce my husband and talk to our story in here. We've known each other for about 2 years. At that time, We were a international student in the different university, we didn't know each other. but, we were a Christian, so we met at Korean Church in China. I think He was very kind and smart, I felt he was very warm to me. So I like him. One day, he confessed his love to me and I'm happy to accept his confess. After that, We got on well most of the time although we argued sometimes, too. And now we got married and came to Ethiopia as a chinese translator volunteer.
Thank you for reading our story. And If there is any wrong sentence, please correct that. Thank you.

Today, I will tell you about my manager whom I admire and love best. She is quite high and well-built. She has shoulder length, wavy and dark hair. Her face is round on which has always a gentle smile. She is very reliable and considerate. Although she was a general manager, she always asks staffs' ideas and try to meet any their requests or expectations. And when she promises doing something, absolutely it is done. However, these characteristics cause some issues sometimes. I remembered when we have chosen a place to hold teambuilding, we lost too time simply because she questioned all staffs, one by one. The result was when we had the decision, flight ticket increased a little bit. But it was the small things not to deserve concern. Everyone loves her. On the day she left the company, all staffs felt sorrow. Some female staffs were in tears. For me, she was not only my manager, but also like my sister. She helped me a lot although I had only two years to work with her. Perhaps, I never meet anyone like her from the rest of life.

One of my best is Ngoc. He's pretty tall, well built. He has dark skin, short hair with big brown eyes. The most impressive thing is the cheerful smile is always on his face because he's a kind of person who always optimistic and amiable. We've known each other for about 10 years since we were at university. We get on very well because we have some many things in common. For example like playing games, swimming, hiking and so on.
Thank you for sharing .This lesson is really helpful for speaking.
Thanks . and I am sure you have the all positives adjectives.
My classmate Min is quite short and well- built. She has slight brown, curly hair. She is not kind of beautiful but has a shiny smile. Unluckily, a missing finger was on her left hand from an accident.
Min is really friendly, talktive and has a good sense of humour. It 's easy to be around her because she is quite straightward.
She is also a flexiable person. She has a great passion for business and always thinks about sales while I just study most of the time. She used to sell so many things to make money and I laughingly called her is "the boss ". Sometimes, I feel that she is a bit of stingy in money, but it could be understandable.
We ' ve known each other since we hung out in a group of friends. We get on very well because we are both open- minded and sociable.
Hi +Vo Ngan. Thanks for sharing this answer. Here are a few corrections for you:

My best friend is Viet Anh. When I was in tenth grade, he and I were in the same class and we’ve known each other ever since. He has black hair and small black eyes. He is pretty tall, about 173 centimeters, and average weight. The sad thing is that I’m not as tall as him. He is an extrovert, thoughtful, and is extremely confident. In contrast, I’m more introverted and shy than him. He always thinks of other people’s wishes and feelings. We always tell each other everything. When I had a problem, he would give me advice and tell me the truth more than anyone. For these reasons, I like him. In conclusion, Viet Anh is my best friend until now, and I hope we can keep this friendship forever.
Thanks for sharing! Here is one suggestion for you:
It would be better to say, 'When I have a problem, he will give me advice...' rather than, 'had,' and, 'would.'
Hope this helps you!
Thanks you for your great help to all students.
Thank you so much for the lesson. It's an extraordinary lesson, quite useful and very well explained.
