What kind of details do we give when describing people?

AGE

An old person might be 65 years old and over.

Before you’re old (around 55, for example) you can be middle-aged. If you have children when you’re this age, they can be young adult (20-25 years of age) or teenager. (13-19).

There are other words for younger children. For example, a toddler is around 1-3 years old, while a baby is from 0-12 months old.

BUILD

People are built in all shapes and sizes. There are those who are fat and overweight. Some people are extremely overweight and are obese. Other people are naturally slim, but others look have absolutely no fat on them and are thin, or skinny.

Other words for describing people and build are:

• fit = healthy / active. To be fit, you should do plenty of exercise.

• tall

• short

• Lean = with very little fat

• wiry = quite thin, but muscular

• athletic well-proportioned.

COLORING

You are born with a color – white or Caucasian, black or Asian. You can also say person of color (for example, a woman of color, or a man of color) to describe anyone who is not white (but never use the word “colored”). People whose parents are of different ethnic origin are mixed-race. Southern Europeans are sometimes described as Mediterranean.

Other words for describing skin color:

freckles = small brown dots on your face and arms from the sun dark-skinned = a dark complexion which allows you to tan easily

FACE

Faces, like build, vary a lot. Some people have oval faces – their foreheads are much wider than their chins. Other people have heart-shaped, square or round faces.

Here’s some more vocabulary for describing features:

• bushy eyebrows = lots of thick hair on your eyebrows

• a hooked nose = a prominent nose (but not a wide nose)

• dimples = when you get little hollows in your cheeks or next to your mouth when you smile

DESCRIBING HAIR

• long, curly hair short,

• straight hair fine hair = it doesn’t weigh very much, vs thick and heavy hair

• wavy = between straight and curly.

• losing your hair / going bald = when men start to lose their hair
