There is a good chance you will be asked to describe a person in Speaking Part 2. You may be asked to describe a hero or a person you look up to or admire. You may be asked about your favorite celebrity or television character. You could also be asked to describe a friend or loved one. For many other questions describing a situation or event, you can always describe the people who were present! In order to take the full 2 minutes talking about the person you’re asked to describe, you’ll definitely need a lot of high level vocabulary at your fingertips! First, you can describe their physical appearance. You can, of course, describe their height and build. A band 9 word for someone who is tall and thin is lanky. If they’re a bit clumsy or awkward, a fun idiom is, “They have 2 left feet.” There are fantastic idioms for describing hair and eye color. When a person’s hair is starting to have some grey in it, you can call the color “salt and pepper”. We often refer to this as a distinguished look, meaning it has an air of commanding respect. Eyes can be referred to as piercing if they have an intense look, and in this case we can also use the idiom, “When she looks at you, she sees straight into your soul.” Additionally, you can describe the look of their face. You have an opportunity here to boost your Vocabulary score with high level adjectives. Faces can be described as thoughtful, intelligent or discerning, meaning they look like they’re figuring things out. Their look can also be referred to as kind, cheerful, friendly or charming. You could say, “She has a kind face, and just looks like everyone would want to be her bosom buddy.” Bosom buddy is a great idiom meaning a very close friend. As you can see, when describing a person, you’re not limited to a simplistic, “She has brown hair, green eyes and is average height.” Get descriptive! Use interesting adjectives! This will help you get that 7 or higher on your Vocabulary score. It can also make it easier to boost your Pronunciation score, as it’s easier to vary your intonation with unique adjectives. “He has piercing, discerning eyes that see straight into your soul!”\n
