    DESCRIBING PEOPLE

    Describing People’s Appearance

    How to describe someone:

    Begin with the person’s physical appearance, e.g. height, build, hair, eye color, nose, etc. Then, go into
    more detail, e.g. hair length, the shape of the nose, etc.

    Try to be as specific as possible, for example, rather just saying that someone has blond hair, think about
    what shade of blond hair the person has, e.g. light blond. Also, think about the hair length and hair style.
    Giving more information about each physical attribute will help your description sound better.

    They are young
    She has long brown hair

    hair length and facial features
