What do I look like?
I am over my mid-thirties. I am very tall and neither thin nor fat. I am one meter and seventy-six and I am said to take after my father.
I've got short brown and wavy hair. I dyed my hair once. I've got a round face with brown sunken eyes, a turned-up nose and pierced ears. I've got freckles on my nose and my cheeks, especially in the summer. I've got pale skin.
I never wear any make-up or piercings but I always wear some jewellry. Today I'm wearing silver earrings, a necklace, and some rings. I haven't got any tattoos. I sometimes wear glasses, especially when I have to read a lot.
I've got a classic look, I'm not particularly trendy. I usually wear casual clothes.

What am I like? Am I nice?
I'm hard-working, active, gentle and friendly. But sometimes I become stubborn and I am a little selfish. I'm also a bit quarrelsome.

What do I like?
I like being outdoors; trekking, skiing and cycling are my favourite hobbies. But I am also very keen on reading and going to the cinema.I love playing with my children and going out for dinner with my husband.

Your teacher from one of her friend’s point of view.

Marta is 37 years old , but she doesn't look a day over 36. Physically speaking, perhaps one of the first things you notice about Marta is her height, since she is very tall. She is not at all fat, but neither is she skinny. She has olive-coloured skin, with a rapidly fading tan from the summer months. Her hair is short and straight, and dark brown in colour, with a couple of tiny, almost invisible grey hairs peeking through. She has big, round, brown eyes and wears trendy, white glasses, usually when she has a headache. Her style of dress is fairly modern, you normally see her in jeans and a top, with a pair of boots or trainers, nothing too formal. First and foremost, Marta likes to feel comfortable in whatever she is wearing. Now, let's talk about her personality a little. To start with, Marta is a kind and caring person. She is always ready and willing to devote her time to other people, be they her family, her friends, or even complete strangers. She is also a good listener, always giving valuable advice, and never says "I told you so" when you don't follow it. However, sometimes Marta can be quite fussy. Don't ever give her a plastic spoon to stir her coffee with, unless you want to hear her complain for half an hour afterwards. Another thing, if she asks for a glass of water, make sure it's not ice cold, it has to be at room temperature exactly. Marta is also a very active and energetic person, which can have the effect of making you feel very lazy, and therefore, guilty, when you are around her and she is rushing here there and everywhere. At the weekend, if she is not cycling with her husband, you can probably find her dragging her daughters and father up the tallest mountain in the Pyrenees. Always on the go, Marta leads a hectic, but very happy and enjoyable lifestyle...
