Writing Letters and Describing People

Wednesday 9^th April

Hi everybody!

Yes!!! We had the letters from our penfriends from Ukraine and we wrote them back in class.

Are you going to enclose (put into the envelope) a photo of you? It was a good idea to say what you look like (describe) first and then, in our next letter, we could enclose a photo. Anyway, they’re your letters and your penfriends, so you can write whatever you like, it’s up to you (you choose). But remember to be polite and not to ask rude (not nice) questions.

What do you look like? (Describe your appearance)

The order of the adjectives when you describe hair is usually like this

LENGTH              +          STYLE                    +       COLOUR

Long / short         straight/curly/wavy          brown,/fair/dark/black etc.

·         I’ve got long straight blonde hair .

·         She has short curly dark brown hair.

·         He has big blue eyes.

·         She is tall and thin.

   Listen to the dialogue and do the exercises

Our next topic is “Shopping”

We started talking about what Katherine, Leo and Jane bought. (past of buy)

Do you remember Katherine?

She is tall and thin. She has long wavy orange hair. She is wearing a yellow dress, brown high-heeled sandals, a necklace and two bracelets.

She is carrying a present. She is going to her friend’s birthday party.

What do you think she bought?

She bought a pair of shoes, a tablet, a bottle of perfume, a black dress …and a laptop…for her friend.

Good memory! You could remember everything!

I’d like to have a friend like Katherine. My friends never give me a laptop as a present on my birthday!!!

 What about Leo?

Well, Leo isn’t very tall and he isn’t fat. He has short straight hair and black eyes.

He’s wearing a uniform that consists of a white shirt, a yellow and purple tie, a red jacket, grey trousers and black shoes. He’s carrying a blue bag with a calculator and some pens in it. And he’s holding (in his hand) a mobile.

What did he buy?

For his new school he bought a new calculator, a new bag, some pens ….

And we finished describing Jane.

Remember

·        Wear. You wear clothes, glasses, make-up and jewellery(a ring,a watch, bracelets, a necklace, earrings…)

·        Carry. You carry objects (an umbrella, a book, a bag…)

·        Hold. You hold something in your hand.

·        What did she buy?

·        She bought a new set of cases.

·        Why did she buy the case?
