Yesterday we continued studying how to describe people. We learned a few new word: height, weight, age, average, good looking, pretty, handsome, cute, middle aged.
Students had to describe a the picture of a person in this way:

It´s an old man. He is average height and average weight. He has got short dark hair.
Or
It´s a middle aged woman. She is tall and average weight. She has got long curly hair. She is pretty. 

Students had to talk to a classmate in this way:
Student A Tell me about the boy. Is he tall? Student B No, he isn´t, he is short.
Student A Is his hair long? Student B Yes, it is.

Then, we listened to a recording which described 4 different people students had to pick the right answer, they all did a good job.

We watched a video and practiced the song: What do you look like?

Homework
You know, cook something nice.

Were you born in 2013? No, yo were not. If you had, now you would be a baby and you are not a baby. You are all big kids now, you are 10 or 11. So you answered No, I wasn't, I was born in 2003 or 2002, which is a good answer.

And you all know how to say your email address in English, don't you?

In our last class we reviewed  the vocabulary introduced the week before: words to describe somebody's appearance and personality. And we played Around the World to reinforce it.
We talked about best friends and some of you were very clever and guessed which characters in the book were best friends: like Jessica and Steve, because they both looked shy. One character in the picture didn't have a best friend, but she had her own horse.
Everybody said who their best friends were and then each student said one sentence about them: he is thin,  she has got long hair, she has got brown eyes or he wears glasses.
By now, everybody knows when to use is or are or am and when to say has got or have got.

We made 2 teams and played the game Who is who. Students had to ask these type of questions:

1.Is it a man? or Is it a woman?
2.Does he/she wear glasses, a beard, a moustache, earrings, a hat?
3.Has she/he got black hair, long blond hair, gray hair?
4.Is he bold? Is he/she old?

The person who gave the answers could only say yes or no and had to answer like this to those questions:

1. Yes, it is. No, it isn't.
2. Yes he/she does. No, he/she doesn't.
3. Yes, he/she has. No, he/she hasn't. 
4. Yes, he/she is. No, he/she isn't.



Homework
1.Answer this little quiz:

Is your mother bold?

Does your father wear a hat at home?

Have you got gray hair?

Has your cousin got brown eyes?

Does your best friend wear pig tails?

2. Make sentences with these words. Remember, when a noun is something we can count (1, 2, 3, etc.) and it is singular we must use the determiner a or an before it. Example: Jennifer/round/pink/face = Jennifer has got a round and pink face.

My dog/ long, tail.

I/ tall/ thin.

My best friend/ earrings.

Old/ man/ gray/long/beard.

The boy/long, legs.

Today we started a new unit. In this unit we learn to describe people. 

In order to describe people we use adjectives with the verb to be.
We studied the following adjectives: tall, short, fat, thin, strong, weak, bold, fast, slow, friendly, unfriendly, shy, clever. We can say:

Mary is tall, thin and strong. And she is very friendly.

We also practiced describing some parts of the body. In order to do that we use the verb have got.
To talk about hair we learned:
For colour: blond, brown, red, dark or black.
For shape: straight, wavy, curly.
For length: short, long.
To talk about the shape of the face: round, long.
To talk ab out eyes: brown, black, green, blue, grey.
To talk about our nose: big, small, long.

We can say:
Mary has got a round face, long curly brown hair and blue eyes. 

There are other things that are less permanent and we can use the verb wear to talk about them:
glasses, earrings, a mustache, a beard, long side burns,a pony tail, pig tails, braids, a cap.

We can say::
Mary wears glasses and a pony tail.

When we describe a person we use all the three verbs. Example:

Mary is tall, thin and strong. She has got a round face, long curly brown hair and blue eyes and she wears glasses and a pony tail. She is very friendly.

In our class students listened to a recording about 6 different people and had to identify their pictures. Then they talked about each one of those people.
Finally, we played a board game to review the Present Simple and the Present Continuous.

Homework
Describe these 2 people: you can give them your own names:
