Let's make my physical description.

Hi boys and girls,

In the first activity, you did a presentation, you introduced yourself, you said your name and age, you talked about your city, personality, family or hobbies.

Now, using the verbs TO BE and HAVE GOT, you have to make your physical description: one for each of you.

If you work in groups, every member must describe one of his or her partner. So, if you are 2 in a group, you will have 2 physical descriptions.

For this activity, it will be very helpful to have a picture of you.
Then, show me your faces!!!

If you don't know how to start your physical description. You can follow the instructions in the post below.

1st.-You have to introduce yourself (name, age, where are you from, say something about your personality, ... )

If you want, you can illustrate your writing with a photo or images.
You can follow the instructions to paste an image in your blog in the message bellow.

TEEN CULTURE

Teen Culture
As a teenager, you are no longer a child and you are not yet an adult.
Most teenagers like music, mobile phones, computers, films and fashionable clothes. They love hanging out with friends. These things are often called "teen culture".
People first used the word "teenager" in the 1940s. There have been teen culture movements in most decades since. Mods and rockers in the 1960s; hippies in the early 1970s. Then in 1976 punk started in Britain and became fashion on the day. And so it continues - everything lasts for a while until a new fashion takes over.
