Asking About Appearance
● Let’s practice using these new words with people you know.
● I will ask you about a family member or a friend.
● Example:
○ Is your mom tall or short?
○ Is your friend dark-skinned or light-skinned?
○ Does your sister have light or dark hair?
Asking About a Person
● Let’s practice using these new words with the words we learned earlier this
week in a sentence.
● Let’s tell each other about our best friend or sibling.
● For example:
○ My best friend’s name is Maria. She is tall, skinny, and has dark hair. She is kind, loyal, and outgoing.
○ My brother’s name is Matei. He is short, strong, and has light skin. He is silly, clever, and moody
sometimes.
