No matter how sparkling someone's personality may be, the first thing we notice about them is probably their physical appearance. And that's not a bad thing - as long as we are able to describe them accurately! Can you imagine complimenting a bald person on their curly hair? Or saying you like someone's wrinkles when you meant to say freckles? Knowing how to describe people in English is an important skill, and this video will teach you the vocabulary to talk about physical features. And don't forget to download the Describing People Bingo cards so you can practice the vocabulary in class or with friends!

Oh, and a few questions - what ages do you consider "middle aged"? And how would you describe your appearance? We want to hear from you in the comments!
