PEOPLE DESCRIPTION

When you describe a person, you should try to use adjectives of evaluation and adjectives of personality .

· Who the person is? (Relatives or friend...)

I would like to talk about my grandmother .

I would like to talk about my favorite history teacher .

I would like to talk about my next door neighbor .

· What do they do? (occupation)

· Social position (what do they do in society?)

· How do you know them?

· What they are like (using adjectives of personality & explain the adjectives ) .

If you tell the examiner someone is strict and hardworking , give them examples about how they are strict and hardworking “I admire my father, but sometimes he is quite strict. What I mean is if I am 5 minutes late for dinner, he makes me give him a dollar” . So what you should do is you need to have an explanation because if you don’t, it makes the listener naturally feel like that they are missing something . Imagine that you have a conversation with your friend. He is very polite, and he asks you “how was your holiday?” and you say “well, I had a lot of fun. I went to London. It’s very interesting” . Then, certainly, your friend will be asking to himself “interesting? How?” what do you mean for “interesting”? So, you must explain your adjectives. You don’t need to use a lot of adjectives , you just need maybe 2, maybe 3 adjectives but you must explain them .

If you just throw out the adjectives “Oh, I love my father because he is so humorous, friendly, hardworking, thrifty…” that means you are just listing and certainly that’s not impressive ; that doesn’t sound natural .

· What they have achieved (using phrases of achievement ). These are used a lot in part 2 speaking because in part 2 speaking, we usually talk about people that we like or we admire and we have relationship with)
