LESSON 4

DESCRIBING PEOPLE

READING

1 Think of someone in your family. Write three sentences about them. Read your sentences aloud to the rest of the class.

2 Which relative did you choose? Why did you choose that person? Did you write about their character, appearance, or both?

3 Read the description of Aunt Emily.

My Aunt Emily

Of all my relatives, I like my Aunt Emily the best. She’s my mother’s youngest sister. She has never married, and she lives alone in a small village near Bath. She’s in her late fifties, but she is still quite young in spirit. She has a fair complexion, thick brown hair which she wears in a bun, and dark brown eyes. She has a kind face, and when you meet her, the first thing you notice is her lovely, warm smile. Her face is a little wrinkled now, but I think she is still rather attractive. She is the sort of person you can always go to if you have a problem.

She likes reading and gardening, and she goes for long walks over the hills with her dog, Buster. She’s a very active person. Either she’s making something, or mending something, or doing something to help others. She does the shopping for some of old people in the village.

She’s extremely generous, but not very tolerant with people who don’t agree with her. I hope that I am as happy and contented as she is when I’m her age.

4 Go through the text again and underline like this:

__________the parts which describe her physical appearance

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ the parts which describe her character

. . . . . . . . . . the parts which describe her habits.
