Dorothy Rose had a turned-up nose*.Did she worry about it, do you suppose?Oh, no; but a plan she began to hatch,To make the rest of her features match.
First of all, she trained her eyes,Turning them up to the sunny skies.Look at the mud and the dust? not she!Nothing but sunshine would Dorothy see.
A flower that droops has become to wilt,So up went her chin, with a saucy tilt.An ounce of pluck’s worth a pound of sigh,And courage comes with a head held high.
Lastly, her lips turned their corners up,Brimming with smiles like a rosy cup.Oh, a charming child is Dorothy Rose, -And it all began with a turned-up nose!
A turned-up nose\Вздёрнутый носик

My best friend is my classmate. His name is Dima. He is a tall boy with short dark hair. He has blue eyes and wears glasses. He is brave and strong. Dima is a very optimistic person. He is never sad. He knows a lot of jokes and often makes me laugh.
We made friends in the first form and since then we have a deep friendship.
We often go for a walk together and talk about different things. Dima is my close friend and I can tell him about my problems. He also shares his ideas with me. I can’t say that we have much in common but we have the same hobby. We like playing chess.
We always help each other in need. I think we will be friends forever.
My Best Friend
I have a lot of friends. Most of them are classmates. My best friend called Alex. He is fourteen. He lives with his parents not far from the school.
Alex has a lot of hobbies: he likes to play the computer, to read detective stories, to collect butterflies. He likes animals, especially cats. He has got a cat Lastik at home.
Alex has short, light hair and grey eyes. He is quite short and rather thin. He always manages to be cheerful, energetic, full of life and energy. He is helpful and honest.
Alex is very popular. Hе is a helpful person and every time he tries to do her best to help somebody when he has problems.
Alex is very attentive to his parents. Of course, he has some drawbacks — sometimes she is a hurly-burly boy, a bit stubborn. But still like him as she has a good sense of humour and pleasant to deal with.
We spend much time together — watch video or listen to the music, walk or go to the cafe discussing all sorts of things. Our friendship helps me feel strong and sure of myself.
We are friends for a long time. We trust each other. We have some personal secrets. I can tell him about my troubles and he always helps me, if he can.
I cannot imagine my life without Alex. I appreciate our friendship and the fact that we are trying to help each other, and that we can talk about everything. Our friendship makes me happy.
I’m happy to have such a good friend as Alex.
