1. Talking About Appearance

   When we describe someone's physical appearance, we talk about their height, build, hair, eyes, and clothes.

   • Height and Build: We use the verb to be (am / is / are).
     Examples: She is tall and slim. He is of medium height.
   • Hair and Eyes: We use have got / has got.
     Examples: I have got curly brown hair and green eyes. He has got short, straight dark hair.
   • Clothes: We use the present continuous tense with the verb wear.
     Examples: She is wearing a yellow sweater and blue jeans today.

   Talking About Character Traits

   To talk about what kind of person someone is, we use personality adjectives with the verb to be.

   • Kind / Helpful: Someone who likes helping other people.
   • Honest: Someone who always tells the truth.
   • Generous: Someone who likes sharing and buying gifts for friends.
   • Outgoing: Someone who is friendly and enjoys meeting new people.
   • Shy: Someone who feels nervous when talking to others.
   • Punctual: Someone who always arrives on time.

   Example: My best friend Melis is very generous and helpful because she always shares her books and helps me with my homework.

   Putting Clues Together

   In daily communication, we often take notes or bullet points about a person and reconstruct them into a clear, connected spoken or written introduction.

   Sample Notes:

   • Name: Kerem
   • Appearance: Tall, well-built, short wavy black hair, brown eyes
   • Clothes: Green hoodie, grey trainers
   • Character: Friendly, hardworking, honest

   Reconstructed Communication:

   "This is my classmate Kerem. He is tall and well-built with short wavy black hair and warm brown eyes. Right now, he is wearing a casual green hoodie and grey trainers. Kerem is very hardworking and honest, and he always makes new friends easily because he is so friendly."

   How to Ask and Answer

   To communicate about people effectively, use the correct question forms:

   • Asking about physical appearance:
     "What does he/she look like?"
     → "She is tall and has got straight blonde hair."
   • Asking about personality:
     "What is he/she like?"
     → "He is cheerful, polite, and very honest."
   • Asking about clothes:
     "What is he/she wearing?"
     → "He is wearing a striped T-shirt and a dark blue cap."

   Remember: "What does she look like?" asks about the outside (appearance), while "What is she like?" asks about the inside (character).
