5 Different Faces

This activity aims to revise and consolidate words/phrases used to describe people’s appearances.

Materials and Preparation
Copy the worksheet on page 112 and make sure that each student in the class has one.

Procedure
1 Give each student a copy of the worksheet. Tell students that they are going to listen to an audio
where twelve different speakers describe themselves and they need to name the portraits in their
worksheets in line with the descriptions.
2 Play the audio and ask students to listen to it carefully so that they can identify the people on their
worksheet. If necessary, you can play the audio once again. When students are finished, elicit the
answers.
3 As a follow-up, divide students into pairs and tell them to describe the physical appearance of the
people on their worksheet in turns for their partner to identify. Ask them to focus on the person’s
facial features, hairstyle and accessories.
4 Tell students to put a check mark near the portraits they have described and tell them to continue
describing the people on their worksheet in turns until all of them have been described. Monitor
while walking around the classroom and help when necessary.

6 Find Out Who...

This activity aims to have students compare characteristics and appearances, and express their opinions.

Materials and Preparation
Copy and cut up the cards on page 113.

Procedure
1 Divide class into five groups. Give two cards to each group and tell them to find the answers to the
questions on the cards by asking everybody in the class.
2 Make sure that they know how to ask their questions correctly. Give the following example if necessary:
On the card: Who lives in the most beautiful neighbourhood?
Question: Where do you live? What is it like?
3 After they have finished asking the questions, tell them to sit down, make a group discussion and come
to a decision. Encourage them to make comparisons.

For example:
I think Ali is more skilful at drawing than Zeynep.
Derya has higher maths grades than Gürkan.
