Reading and speakingMy friend Rose is a very nice person. I like her because she is friendly, warm and generous. She’s not a very extroverted person. In fact, she’s quite shy and quiet, but she’s really understanding and sensitive. She’s never bad-tempered. What I really love about her personality is that she’s very discreet and thoughtful. She’s never forgotten my birthday.
