Physical and Character Description


THE SHAPE OF THE FACE



According to the article that you have read, the Chinese believe that the shape of the face can show the character of a person.

  1. Look at the pictures in the chart, and write the name under each picture. Check your answers with your teacher before you complete the item  below.
  2. Now read the article again and find the corresponding information to complete the boxes. When there are no details about a certain characteristic, just put a cross (X) and/or use the last row of boxes. Note well that the order in which shapes are shown in the chart is not exactly the same as it appears in the text.


Describing Famous People


Choose three of the people from the picture below and write a physical description for each of them. Then, read your descriptions out loud so your classmates can guess who you're talking about.





LAST BUT NOT LEAST, 
WHAT IS THE SHAPE OF YOUR FACE? 

Find out here:         

Write an entry in your journal. State if you believe that the shape of your face coincides with the character descriptions that the Chinese explain in the article you have read.   Hand in your work to your teacher next class.
