My favourite relative is Aunt Lucy
|
Читайте также: |
She is my mother’s older sister. She is forty years old, but she looks younger than that. She has dark hair and is slim with green eyes. She wears glasses.
She likes fashionable clothes. Her favourite colours are green and blue. She has a nice green jacket that she wears. It suits her. She does not wear very much jewellery apart from a silver ring.
She has a nice voice. She sings in a folk group in the town where she lives. She is a teacher at a high school there and her students like her.
I think she is a very good person.
Read the following comments a teacher wrote on the previous description.
Your description is very accurate, but you need to make your writing more interesting.
For example, you say your aunt ‘looks younger’. How much younger? A bit? A lot? Years? You tell me she has ‘dark hair’, but you don’t say whether it is curly or straight, thick or shiny. Is it long or short? And what else can you say about her eyes? Are they soft and gentle or bright and sparkling? Are they more or less striking because of her glasses?
You talk about the jacket she wears and tell me that it’s green. What else can you say about it? Is it new? What is it made of? Why does it suit her? And what about the ring? Why does she always wear it? Because it was a gift?
You comment on her voice, good, but don’t use ‘nice’. Is it deep or soft and gentle?
And finally why do her students like her? What do they say about her?
