Today I gave the students two photocopies with adjectives that help us to describe people's character: clever, lazy, stupid, funny, unkind, shy, friendly, boring, naughty, lovely, mean, patient, rude, polite, silly, sensible, selfish, generous, impatient.

(She's naughty)

If you want to ask about people's character, you ask:

WHAT'S YOUR SISTER LIKE?
SHE'S CLEVER AND GENEROUS.

If you want to know people's appearance, you ask:

WHAT DOES SHE LOOK LIKE?
SHE'S TALL AND SHE'S GOT LONG HAIR.

If you want to ask about likes and dislikes, then you ask:

WHAT DOES SHE LIKE?
SHE LIKES READING AND WATCHING TV.

Then the question: WHO DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I LOOK LIKE MY MUM gives you information about which member of your family has a similar appearance. Please go to page 134 and read carefully 6.1 What....like?
