Teaching notes
Twelve adjectives for describing people, each matched to a short meaning in plain English: five for appearance (tall, slim, bald, curly, good-looking) and seven for personality (friendly, shy, funny, lazy, honest, generous, hard-working). It suits A1–A2 learners who can say "She's tall" and are ready to talk about character too.
Use it as a warm-up before a lesson on describing a friend or a famous person. After matching, ask learners in pairs to pick three words for someone in their family and say why ("My uncle is funny because…"). As a follow-up, they can write a short description of a classmate for the others to guess. Switch it to Flash cards for a quick review, or print the worksheet with its answer key.
