3.1. Describing people:Introduction: Who the person is/ When and how you first met or saw him/her. Main body: + Physical appearance: height/build, age, facial features, hair, clothing ( From the most general aspects to the most specific detail) Eg: Bill, who is in his early twenties, is quite tall and well-built, with thick black hair and piercing blue eyes. He is usually dressed in jeans and a T-shirt. + Personality/ behavior(with justification/examples): give examples of manner and mannerism Eg: Mark is rather unsociable, usually sitting silently in a corner abserving others from a distance + Life/ lifestyle/beliefs: talk about the person's habits, interests, profession, daily routine, opinion, etc Eg: Being both a university student and a part-time assistant in a supermarket, Tom has little free time to go out in the evenings. Conclusion: Comments/ feelings about person
Tips: If the instruction for the writing task ask you to describe someone related to the present, you will describe the person using Present tenses eg: " Describe a person who is unusual..." If you are asked to describe somebody related to the past. Somebody who is no longer alive or somebody you met some time ago, you will describe the person using Past simple tenses. Linking words and Structures: Writing which contains a series of short sentences or the same simple linking words(such as"and") soon becomes boring and repetitive. To avoid this, you should use a wide range of linking words and structures with: She is tall and striking, with long blonde hair Relative Clauses: who/which/whose My neighbour, who is slightly eccentric, has dozens of filthy cats He is a scruffy child whose clothes are torn and dirty. He has a broken nose, which makes hims look like a boxer. Result: so/such (a)...(that) She is so beautiful that she looks like a film star. Addition: in addition to, as well as/ besides, moreover, furthermore, not only... but also...,etc. He is very tall, in addition to being very thin. My grandmother has deep wrinkles, as well as thin grey hair. He is not only artistic, but also a successful businessman. Contrast: but/yet/However/Nonetheless/Even so + Clause Although/(Even) though/ While + Clause In spite of/ Despite + -ing form/noun/the fact that He is temperamental, but/yet he is a loyal friend. He looks as through he's an old man. However, he is only 35. Although he has a huge, powerful body, he's a very gentle person. In spite of being very busy, she always has time for her children. - Linking cause and effect: She is open and friend.(cause) She is popular.(effect)
She is popular because she is open and friendly. She is popular due to being/due to the fact that she is open and friendly. A result of her being open is that she is popular.
She is open and friendly, so she is popular. She is open and friendly, therefore she is popular. The reason she is popular is that she is open and friendly * Impressions, Opinions and Reactions:
Compoud Adjectives: Compound adjectives are formed with present participles: a hard-working student past participles: an open-hearted young man cardinal numbers + nouns: a three-year-old boy well, badly, ill, poorly + past participle: a well-intensioned friend Topic: A Close Friend Jacques has been my close friend for two years. I first met him on a school exchange trip to Calais, France. I asked him the way to the library and we started talking. We've been friends ever since. Jacques is quite good-looking. He's tall and slim, with olive skin and curly dark hair. Like many French people, he has a great sense of style, so he always looks well-dressed even in casual clothes. Jacques is very outgoing. He is always friendly and loves to have fun. He's got a fantastic sense of humour and he always makes me laugh. However, he can be a bit immature at times. For example, when he doesn't get what he wants, he acts childishly and stamps his feet. Jacques is very keen on water sports. He likes sailing and he spends a lot of time on his boat. He enjoys scuba diving, too, and loves exploring life under sea. All in all, I'm glad to have Hacques as my friend. It's a pleasure to be with him and I really enhoy his company. I'm sure we'll always be close friends. 3.2.

Each aspect of the description should be presented in a separate paragraph beginning with a clear topic sentence. Present tenses are normal used when describing a place for a tourist brochure or a magazine article. Past tenses are normal used when describing a visit to a place/building. First and second conditionals(will/would) can be used when you describe your ideal city/house,etc When we give factual information about a place or building this is normally given using Present tenses Eg: I flew to Madrid last Monday. Madrid is situated in the central point of the Iberian peninsula with a population of about 3,000,000.
