I saw your photos and the stories written by you on the Internet. I’m interested in them and want to make friends with you. I’m one meter and seventy-eight centimeters tall. It is above the Chinese average(平均). Last month I weighed only seventy-five kilograms, but I’ve gained some weight, eighty-two now. As you can see, I’m a little fat.

Kate: Appearance does not only mean good looks. Even an ordinary person can look good by taking some time to clean himself or herself up. Do you see the stars without makeup(化妆)?
