DESCRIPTION OF A PERSON

a) Introduction: Give personal details of that person (name, age, job...) and if you really know him/her, say who this person is, that is, a friend, your brother ....

b) Main body:Give a detailed description of his/her physical appearance and also you can include any distinguishing features (glasses, braces, clothes...). When describing a person’s physical appearance one needs to start with the general features and continue with more specific details such as nose, hair color and eyes etc. In a separate paragraph wrote about the personality of the person and his/her interests or hobbies. The description of someone’s personal qualities requires explanation based on certain examples taken from real life in order to provide a vivid picture to the reader.

c) Conclusion:Write what that person is to you

One should use present tenses while describing people well known or often seen by the writer. If you are writing about someone who has passed away, or a person you have known in the past you have to narrate in the past tense.

DESCRIPTION OF A PLACE

a) Introduction:Say what it is and what it represents. Try to situate it and say why you have chosen it or whether you like it or not.

b) Main body:Go from the general to the particular, that is, begin with what you can see in the picture. Then describe each item you can see. Don’t forget to mention colours and shapes.

c) Conclusion:You can add what you feel when you see that picture.

Most likely you will use present tenses when writing about buildings/places still existing.
