Do you know anything about geography?


Talk about this picture and describe its geographical features: mountains, lakes, valleys, sea, ocean...
Then write a short description of the map (use there is, there are...)

Compare!

Do you need further help in order to describe a friend??
Have a look at this sheet with vocabulary about physical appearances and exercises!

Do you know these people?? Describe them!











Who are these people? You are going to describe some of these pictures to a partner and he/she will have to guess how the person you are describing is. Have fun!
