My grandfather is quite
In fact, as he has a pensionمعاش, he is an
, or a
. His daughter, my aunt, is 55, and
. She has three sons. One is a young adult, at 24
years of age, and the other two are both teenagers. They are 16
and 17. My sister also has two children - one toddler who is a
two-year old, and a baby who is 6 months old.
People are built in all shapes and sizes.
There are those who are fat and overweight. Some
people are extremely overweight and are obese. Other people are
naturally slim, but others look have absolutely no fat on them and
are thin, or skinny.
Personally, I am stocky - small,
but well-built. My father is tall and lean
- with very little fat. My sister is short, but wiry
- she is quite thin, but muscular. Both my brothers are athletic
and well-proportioned. My mother looks like a 1940's film star.
She is curvaceous, with an hour-glass figure. My
grandfather is fit for his age and takes plenty of exercise.
He doesn't want all his muscles to get flabby
My sister is an English rose - she has
fair hair and fair skin. She doesn't tan
easily and has to be careful in the sun. My mother is blonde,
also with a fair complexion. I am a red-head -
with red hair. Like many other people with a pale complexion, I
get freckles from the sun - small browm dots on my face and arms.
In contrast, my father has dark-brown hair and he is quite dark-skinned.
You are born with a colour - white or Caucasian, black
or Asian. People whose parents are of different ethnic origin are mixed-race.
Southern Europeans are sometimes described as Mediterranean
Faces, like build, vary a lot. Some people have oval
faces - their foreheads are much wider than their chins.
Other people have heart-shaped, square or round
faces.
Features also vary. My grandfather has bushy
eyebrows (he has lots of hair!), a hooked nose and high
cheekbones. His eyes are large and set quite far apart. My
mother has a broad nose, which she hates, as she prefers narrow
noses. But she is lucky to have even or regular teeth.
My sister corrected her crooked teeth by wearing a brace which
straightened them. She has rosy cheeks, small ears and a snub
nose, which goes up at the end.
I have long, curly hair, though my
sister is the opposite, with short, straight hair. Her hair is fine
and doesn't weigh very much, but mine is thick and heavy.
My mother's hair is wavy - in between straight and curly. It's cut
in a bob and she also has a short fringe, where it
is cut horizontally across her forehead. My father is losing his hair
- in fact he is going bald, which makes him very sad. My brother
looks like he is going to lose his hair too - it is receding.
