Today we'll practice writing a descriptive paragraph
Learning Outcomes -The students will be able to describe a person using appropriate adjectives and grammatical structures
Apart from the exhaustive list of adjectives that I gave you yesterday describing a person’s physical characteristics, you can also make use of this list to describe a person’s behaviour: 
SOME ADJECTIVES DESCRIBING THE PERSON’S CHARACTER: sincere, hardworking, responsible,outspoken, energetic, thoughtful, attentive,pleasant, trustworthy,cheerful, friendly,positive, motivated, helpful, enthusiastic, compassionate, helpful

Sample 1:
An Old Man
The old man who lives down the street is a reclusive character. He only comes out of his house occasionally, usually to collect his pension. His hair is very unusual and  lush with a salt and pepper tint. It seems he reads until late at night because he has crow’s feet under his eyes and is often seen smoking a cigar. One reckons, he must be in his seventies because his face is time chiselled and weather beaten.  At times he can seem a bit spiritless, as if life and old age are getting the better of him. The clothes he wears are sometimes ragged and threadbare also, as if he is giving in to the passage of time and is unconcerned about his appearance.
His hand becomes clenched when the cold winds of winter bite the air. His fingers get knotty and then the hand forms the shape of a claw. He smiles to people who sees him on the street and there are a lot of megawatts in it! It totally transforms his face and the years drops  away from his face. Although his voice trembles when he says hello, I know then that he hasn’t  given up completely on life.
Sample 2:
My grandmother:
 
My grandmother is the nicest person I know. She makes those beautiful chocolate éclairs that all grandchildren love and she is very generous with them.  Her hair has is gunmetal grey and is long and lush. Sometimes her eyes can appear milky when she is tired but usually they are gleaming with energy. Her face can appear world weary at times also but usually she is active and alert. Every Saturday she walks the two miles into town and then she can appear drowsy in her movements on the way home. In the winter her fingers get slightly inflamed from the cold but she says it doesn’t hurt her. I have never seen her wear shabby clothes and they are always clean and fresh. She has the most angelic smile I have ever seen and, even though her voice can appear feeble at times, she is very healthy.
