текст 1. The description of appearance (general study)
When we speak about somebody’s figure, face, hands, feet we mean his or her appearance. A person
may be tall, middle-sized or short, thin or plump. A face may be round, oval or square. In summer some
people may have freckles on their faces. Old people have wrinkled faces.
People’s hair may be long or short, thin or thick, good or bad, straight or curly. If it is long it is often
plaited. Its colour may be black or fair, chestnut or red. Old people have grey hair. Women usually have
their hair done at the hairdresser’s.
Eyes may be large or small. They may be of different colour, grey, green, black, or hazel (brown).
Cheeks may be rosy or pale (if a person is ill), plump or hollow (if a person is very ill). Some people
have dimples in their cheeks when they smile.
текст 2. my appearance
Modern youth does not pay much attention to its own inner world, its character, and behavior. Un-
fortunately nowadays it becomes better to be good-looking, fashionable and rich at last, than to be kind,
honest, generous etc.
I don’t like to discuss myself: either my character or my appearance. I am sure that nobody’s perfect
and I am not perfect as well.
And now I will try
to describe you my appearance, it will be difficult for me.
First of all I want to tell you about my height and build. I am medium height — 162 cm. But I would
really like to be taller. Secondly I’ve got medium build. I’m not slim but I always dreamt about this. My
younger brother says that I am overweight. When I’m in the village I just can’t refuse delicious dishes
my granny prepared.
I have a round face, straight nose, big brown eyes and small lips. My hair is short because last week
I was in the hairdressing saloon where I’ve got a new hair-do. Generally I like it. My nature color of hair
is light brown. But a few days ago I dyed my hair and now it is dark-brown with a cherry shade. My
grandfather does not like either my hair-do or the color of my hair but I don’t care. My hair is straight
and thick, but when I was a little girl I had curly hair. I like to be different and occasionally to change
something in my appearance.
I am often told that I look like my granny. But it seems to me that I look like my mum a bit.
Generally I can’t say that I am beautiful but I also don’t consider that I am ugly. Maybe I am pretty
for somebody and plain, ordinary for others. Everyone thinks in his own way.
