Dear students and readers of this blog,How do we describe a person in English? What do we have to ask? What vocabulary do we need to know?
When we want to ask for someone's description, we ask:
What is he/she like?
What does he look like?
Here you will find some of the handouts we used, as well as links to some websites where you can find vocabulary lists with pictures. Remember that, for character description, we have used the Chinese Horoscope (see previous post). Here you will find only physical description vocabulary.
Click here for the class handout.
Click here for a basic vocabulary list with pictures.
Now, why don't you practise?
Please click on COMMENTS to write the description of a person you know well: a member of your family or a good friend.
