Individual assignment nº 1

Description of a person:

Carla and I have been friends for nearly six years. Since we first met at work she has become one of my closest friends with whom I can share my deepest thoughts and exchange personal ideas.

The first impression one may get from her is that of a woman who never has a hair out of place; this is mainly owing to her tall, slender appearance. She usually wears quite loose clear blouses and black trousers combining with her flaming stilettos. She has sparkling blue eyes, several freckles on her cheeks and light brown hair with a parting in the middle, which inclines to wave.

However, although her appearance might make her look as an unapproachable woman, her personality demonstrates she is completely different. Apart from being a wall-balanced person who always considers consequences and benefits twice before making a decision, she is so outgoing that it is easy to become acquainted with her. Moreover, she tends to be prepared to accept new and different proposals. This is the reason why she shows respect to every colleague of hers regardless some differences which may exist between them.

An addition to this, she is willing to exchange ideas and discuss controversial issues. When there are urgent decisions at work and everybody is stressed, she has the ability of appearing with a friendly expression on her face and calming them down. Then she encourages them to start thinking practically and work as a group.

All in all, Carla is the ideal colleague and friend who will always provide everyone with a sensible piece of advice and supporting words. Although we haven’t seen each other lately because we have changed jobs, we still keep in contact and talk if time hadn’t passed.
