Describing character

Discuss

Now answer these questions.

1. How would you describe your build?

2. How tall are you?

3. What kind of hair have you got?

4. What colour is your hair?

5. Can you think of a famous woman you would describe as beautiful?

6. Can you think of a famous man you would describe as handsome?

English proverb says “Appearances can be deceiving” and Gaelic proverb adds “Do not judge by appearances; a rich heart may be under a poor coat”. Do you agree? Why/Why not?

26. Describe a person everyone knows in great detail. Speak about his/her general appearance (height, weight, hair) and special features, such as a beard or a moustache. Let other students in your group guess who the person is.
