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.
