Describing a friend
A student wrote this for a writing task:
a)My best friend's name is XXX, I met him when I was in the second year of university.
In order to intervene the least and correct what does not sound right can I suggest: I met him when I was doing my second year at university?
I am not entirely sure about it. Do you have any suggestions to improve it?
b) He is quite tall, he has brown hair and eyes. He is very nice .
Can 'nice' apply to men? If you found such a sentence what would you understand ( e.g. his appearance is nice or his personality is nice? Would you suggest to rephrase it)?
Thanks for your help!
