Descriptions of/Articles

Read the theory box and the paragraph plan.
Descriptions of/Articles about people should consist of:
a)) ) an introduction giving brief general information about the person name/relationship to you amp; how/when you met him/her:
b)) ) a main body of two to four paragraphs describing the persons physical appearance, personality and hobbies/interests/activities/ achievements etc. in separate paragraphs. Start each paragraph with a topic sentence which summarises the paragraph.
c)) ) a conclusion with your comments amp; feelings about the person.
Descriptions of people can be found in articles, letters, narratives etc. We use present tenses to describe someone we know well/see often (a relative, a good neighbour) and past tenses to describe someone who is no longer alive or who we dont see any more (our best friend from primary school, a grandparent who has died).
