My mother is the best person i have ever met in my life.  first of all i want to tell you that my mother's name is irina and she is 37. her height is nearly 164 cm. but she'd like to be a bit taller. well, she is not slim but  she is  not fat either.    my mother  has a round face as everyone has, a bit long nose and big cheerful grey eyes. her skin is a bit pale but she likes this fact, she doesn't like ruddy faces. she has no  freckles as my friend nina has. her forehead is open. i think my mother has a charming smile.    her hair isn't very short but it's not long either. it is  straight and  black. she has rich hair.  i think that she looks like her father. my mother is very kind and friendly, she knows everything and she is very helpful. she can help everyone. i lave her very much.
