Composition Assignment # 1 ... Eva ...

First of all,I have to say that I´m going to talk about a person who I met in my second year at the university.
She has a clear complexion, brown long hair, hazel eyes and she has a medium size.
She seems to be a sensitive person but when the time pass you can recognize that she has a strong personality and that she can't stand when someone or something is "unfair"...
Nowadays, she lives with his father and a pair of cute dogs in lampa and she has to get up very early to get to the university because it takes her about one hour to arrive in.
Usually, the most she like doing in her spare time is going to the seaside with her boyfriend or going to dance to anywhere...

Do you want to know who is she?
She is Karen Negrete Mauna
