When we speak about somebody's figure, face, hands, feet we mean his or her appearance. When we speak about somebody's appearance we describe it. Today we'll describe the appearance of one boy and two girls. The boys name is Pete. This girl is Ann and that girl is Kitty. Pete and Ann are twelve. Kitty is only four. Look at Pete. He is not short. He is tall. He is taller than Ann. Ann is not so tall as Pete though she is twelve .too. She is not tall enough for her age. She is not very tall and not very short. She is middle-sized. Little Kitty is short.

A person may be tall, middle-sized or short, thin or plump. Plump means fat in a pleasant-looking way. A face may be round, oval or square. In summer some people may have freckles on their faces. Old people have wrinkled faces. Look at the children again, Pete and Ann are thin. Kitty is plump. Her face is round. Ann has an oval face. In summer all the three children have freckles on their faces.

In this picture we see an old man. His face is square. His forehead and cheeks are wrinkled. Pie has clever hazel eyes, overhung by bushy eyebrows. His eyes are rather small and deep-set. His nose is long and crooked. His lips aren't thin. They are full. We can't see his chin as it is covered with a long beard but I think it must be protruding.
