Writing personal descriptions
⇐ ПредыдущаяСтр 3 из 3
What kind of questions do you usually ask when you want to find out what a person is like? Read the text about Jane and see if these questions are answered.
 Jane, an old friend of mine, has the kind of personality people describe as “sunny”. She is amusing, intelligent and lively. She is very good looking, too; quite tall, with long, reddish brown hair and attractive brown eyes.
Jane is very active and always seems to be doing something. She is a computer programmer and works for a big software company in Wales. She is married, with five-year-old twins, but she somehow finds time to paint, knit beautiful sweaters for the family, play the piano and ride her horse, Misha. She does not like cooking much and she hates housework. Her only fault is that perhaps she is a little untidy.
Jaen seems to have everything but I know there is one thing she would secretly like to do, She loves walking in the mountains, away from her daily worries, and one day she would like to go on a trekking holiday to the himalayas to see Mount Everest. I hope her wish comes true.

| name/relation/age eyes/hair/face special features figure dress study/work hobbies interests games personality/qualities faults conclusion | Janet, my elder sister is 21. She does not look like me because she has blue eyes and fair hair, while my eyes are brown and I am dark-haired. She has a lovely fresh complexion and a beautiful mouth, with full lips, but she is short-sighted so she wears contact lenses. She is quite tall and has a beautiful, slim figure. She is very smart and looks really attractive when she dresses up to go out with her boyfriend. Janet is studying languages at the university and in summer she works for a travel agency. She can speak French and Spanish and now she is learning modern Greek. She always goes abroad for her holidays. Janet loves being with a crowd of people and when she goes abroad she talks to the local people and makes friends easily. She loves going to parties and eating out. She is good at games but never takes them seriously so when we play tennis I always win beacuse she does not care if she wins or loses. Janet is very witty and amusing and she always cheers me up when I am depressed because she has a wonderful sense of humour. I think her only fault is that she is restless and easily gets bored. She is an intelligent, hard working person, but she does not study enough. I admire her because she is so bright and energetic but I think it is a good thing that her boyfriend is a calm, tolerant man and when she is impatient with him, he just laughs and then she laughs, too. |
