Writing My Friend:

She’s 31 years old and she is from Robledillo de la Vera, a little beautiful town in North Cáceres, but she lives in Don Benito because she works in a fruit factory there.Alicia is quite tall and thin, with long dark hair, black eyes and a big nose. She usually wears jeans and boots and she hardly ever wears a skirt or a dress. She is quite pretty but she can’t find a boyfriend.She loves going out with her friends and talking to all people. She likes going shopping and trying on clothes but she can never find things she likes: I always argue with her because she spends a lot of time and I hate it!! Alicia hates watching football on TV because she always gets angry with the players.I know her family and they can play the guitar very well, but she can’t do it, nevertheless she can dance quite well.I like her because she is a bit crazy and she can understand me very well. She often helps me with my English too (she can speak English very well).
