Describing people and their personality
Describing people and their personality
Reminder: to describe people's general physical characteristics, you will use the verb BE (I am twelve years old; you are tall).
When you want to describe something specific (face, nose, eyes, hair), you'll use HAVE (or HAVE GOT): I have brown hair and he has a big nose.

Introduction to our final task
Opening picture and listening: How can you define yourself in one word?
Imagine you have become a star in your preferred domain: who are you? An athlete like Jesse Owens? A singer like Lenka? A scientist? An astronaut? A dancer? A doctor? An engineer? What can you say about your success?
You are being interviewed in a teen magazine: create the cover and the inside interview
“Star Vocabulary Bank” for example:
Who I am now
kind · funny · curious · shy · confident · creative · energetic · thoughtful · ambitious · determined · independent · sensitive · friendly · competitive · adventurous
My strengths
talented · hardworking · courageous · resilient · imaginative · reliable · organised · adaptable · resourceful · passionate · innovative · disciplined · articulate · perceptive · inspiring
My weaknesses
impatient · stubborn · shy · messy · forgetful · nervous · sensitive · impulsive · disorganised · insecure · competitive · perfectionist · impatient · stubborn · reserved
The person I will become
successful · confident · influential · independent · accomplished · respected · admired · creative · visionary · inspirational · courageous · resilient · sophisticated · charismatic · extraordinary
How the public sees me
famous · popular · talented · charismatic · glamorous · stylish · mysterious · fascinating · impressive · authentic · iconic · unforgettable · legendary · influential · controversial
Do not only make a list of adjectives (ex.: I am famous, talented, confident, successful and rich). Instead, use the adjectives as part of character development:
I was quite shy when I was twelve, but becoming a singer forced me to become more confident. Today, my fans describe me as energetic and charismatic on stage, although I am still quite quiet and thoughtful when I am at home.
That creates a more interesting progression: WHO I WAS → WHAT CHANGED ME → WHO I BECAME → HOW OTHER PEOPLE SEE ME NOW

for example, "Hand In My Pocket" by Alanis Morrisette
I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign
I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chickenshit
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby
And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano
And what it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything's just fine fine fine
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab
