Example 1:

• Seeger had a head of lose, wavy brown hair hanging down to her waist at the back. She also had bangs over her forehead that almost hid her big blue eyes. The nose——not her best feature——was long and straight. She had a regular set of white teeth and was full-lipped.

• Her round face often looked rather sallow in complexion. She was medium in height with slightly-rounded shoulders.

• When I first met her she must have been in her early twenties, about twenty-fiveish——and she even had some tell-tale wrinkles round the mouth.

Example 2:

• I first met Robinson at my friends birthday party．He was dressed in a rather ill-fitting suit with patches on the elbow. Underneath there was an open-necked checked shirt. After that I don’t think I ever saw him in a suit again. He mostly wore casual clothes such as faded jeans，T-shirts，and open sandals.

Example 3:

• Tom Black, aged sixty, is a farm labourer for all his life. With sunburned skin, wrinkled forehead, he is strongly built and broad shouldered with slightly bent back. He always dresses a worn-out jean suit, but on Sundays he would be in his ties, white collars, and the best man’s suit.

• He looks kind and close to people. He flaps his hands quite a bit and wears a smile on his face whenever he speaks. However, he wreaks his temper on any one who tries to prevent him from drinking alcohol.

Example 4:

• She had the irritable habit of shaking her legs whenever she sits down, but apart from that she was always welcoming and positive, once you know her well. If you didn’t, you might have thought her a bit standoffish, but she wasn’t really. Actually, she wasn’t all that bright and often appeared intensely puzzled by life.
