1. Talking About What People Look Like

   When we introduce or describe someone in writing, we often begin with their physical appearance and clothes.

   We use specific verbs and adjectives to create clear descriptions:

   • Have got / Has got: Use this pattern for hair, eyes, and facial features.
     Example: She has got long, wavy brown hair and green eyes.
   • To be (am / is / are): Use this pattern for height, build, and age.
     Example: He is tall and slim.
   • Wear / Is wearing: Use this pattern for clothing and accessories.
     Example: Today, he is wearing a blue hoodie, grey trousers, and white trainers.

   Talking About What People Are Like

   A complete description also includes a person's character and personality traits. We use the verb to be with character adjectives to explain how people behave.

   • Kind / Helpful: Caring about others and offering support.
     Example: Aylin is very helpful; she always shares her notes with classmates.
   • Cheerful / Friendly: Smiling often and easy to talk to.
     Example: Mert is a cheerful boy who makes friends easily.
   • Punctual / Organised: Being on time and keeping things in order.
     Example: Our teacher is always punctual and well-prepared.
   • Honest: Telling the truth in every situation.

   From Notes to a Meaningful Message

   When communicating with others—such as writing an email to a new penfriend or introducing a classmate—we often need to reorganise isolated notes into a cohesive paragraph.

   Look at how rough notes turn into a friendly introduction message:

   • Identity: Kerem, 12 years old, new student
   • Appearance: Medium height, short curly dark hair, hazel eyes
   • Clothes: Green jacket, jeans
   • Personality: Generous, friendly, loves teamwork

   Reconstructed Message:
   "Dear Lucas, I want to introduce our new classmate, Kerem. He is twelve years old. Kerem is of medium height with short curly dark hair and hazel eyes. He usually wears a green jacket and comfortable jeans. He is very generous and friendly, so everyone enjoys working with him in group projects. Best wishes, Selin."

   Steps to Write a Clear Profile

   Follow these practical steps when you reorganise information to communicate about a person:

   1. Start with basic information: Name, age, and relationship (friend, cousin, classmate).
   2. Add physical appearance: Height, build, hair type/colour, and eye colour.
   3. Mention typical clothes: What they wear at school or in daily life.
   4. Describe personality with examples: Mention one or two qualities and give a reason ("He is polite because he always says please and thank you.").
   5. Close your message: End with a friendly concluding sentence.
