Guess who's back, back again. I'm back, tell a friend.
So, you want to improve your English do you? Well, I'm not a miracle worker but
I can help you with some adjectives. Some useful words to describe people and their personalities.
I'm going to introduce you to a few friends of mine and we'll learn their character descriptions
together. Then you can use those words as much as you like in your everyday life. And you can
pay me at the end. Alright first up let's meet a man called Thomas Shelby now other than being a
handsome little devil, the first word that comes to mind when I see Tommy Shelby is enigmatic.
Enigmatic simply means difficult to understand, a little bit mysterious, you don't know everything
about them, they're enigmatic. We can also describe him as observant, he's always watching,
he's always noticing things. I would also say he's calculating. If you are a calculating person you
are always scheming, always trying to make a plan. I would also say of all the Shelby brothers he is
the most level-headed. He remains the most calm in difficult situations. I would also say he's
analytical. Analytical is not just the name of the woman I went on a date with last week,
analytical is also a describing word. Someone who is able to analyse. Unfortunately for Tommy
I would also say that he is traumatised. Also unfortunately for Tommy he does come across as
quite heartless and blunt. Heartless means you act as if you have no heart and blunt means you say
exactly what you're thinking even if it might hurt someone. But Tommy Shelby is also fiercely loyal,
he will do what it takes to protect his family. He is also stoic, he's able to feel extreme
emotion without showing it on his face. A bit like me, i'm currently extremely happy.
Alright, let's move on to Alfie Solomon's-
but before we do that I've got a special something for you,

we? Oh yes, Alfie Solomons! To describe Alfie, I would say ruthless and unpredictable. Ruthless
in that he'll do anything it takes to get what he wants and unpredictable because
you never know what he's going to do next. He's untrustworthy, you can't trust him! He's disloyal,
he's not loyal! He's vicious and cutthroat. Cutthroat means exactly what it sounds like.
He's bizarre which is a synonym of crazy and weird. He's unhinged which means he's mentally
unstable. He's corrupt, he'll act dishonestly for his own personal gain. But, he is witty, he makes
us laugh and he's straightforward, he gets to the point and that's why we like him. Alright
let's move on to Aunt Poll. Polly Gray. Polly is very emotional, she is led by her emotions and she
shows them. Her emotions can also make her quite rash, she makes decisions without really thinking
of the consequences. In season four particularly we can see that Polly Gray is quite tortured by
her past, it affects her in bad ways. But we also know that Polly is tough-as-nails, it'll take a
lot to break her. She's steely eyed, she has a strong determined look. She's also quite flashy,
she likes to wear nice clouds travel around in a nice car. Don't we all? She's very committed and
protective. Committed to her family, protective of her family. And she is conscientious,
she wants to do her work properly and thoroughly. Alright let's move on to another Shelby: Arthur.
Arthur is impulsive, he doesn't think about his actions he just does it. He is masculine, the
epitome of a tough guy. He's rough, he wouldn't look very comfortable in a dinner with the Queen.
He's ferocious, like a lion or a tiger, determined to get what he wants. He's also violent,
willing to hit, cut, stab, kill whoever he needs to. He's hot-headed, it doesn't take a lot for him
to want to attack. But he's also quite moody, he can get quite sad sometimes and he's very anxious.
We can see him sometimes being very miserable very haunted by his past. But we love Arthur
because he is spontaneous, he just does things can't really predict what he's going to do,
we love Arthur. Alright who should we look at next? Ada. Ada Shelby(Thorne) is first and
foremost egalitarian, she believes firmly that everyone is equal and deserves equal
opportunities. She's also a feminist, believing strongly that women deserve equal rights to men.
Imagine that! She's also quite typically feminine. She's also rebellious, she's willing to go against
the system and she's very intellectual. She's bold, plucky and soulful. All of these words
mean that she's not willing to just sit in the corner and stay quiet. She's liberal, means
she's open to new ideas open to things that are different from herself. And she's also civilised,
she will sit down at the table and have a nice meal not throw the table over like Arthur would.
She's romantic, she likes romance. And to keep up with her brothers she's very opinionated,
she has strong opinions and wants to be heard. Alright next we have John Shelby,
John Shelby is quite good humoured, he likes a laugh, he's happy to have a joke. Knock knock,
who's there? Europe. Europe who? No. You're a poo. John Shelby can also be reckless,
he'll make big decisions without much preparation, he's a bit all over the place. So in that sense
he can be dangerous if he makes a bad mistake. But he is very capable, he's able to do all the things
his brothers are able to do. Even though he is quite temperamental, he can react quite quickly,
he can also be logical and rational. And of all the brothers, I think John Shelby is the most
sensitive, he is the most affected by emotion. Alright, let's have a quick look at Grace Burgess.
Grace is fearless. She's also charming, she's able to charm Tommy Shelby! However she can be
deceitful. lying to people to get what she wants. She's probably the most refined of the people
we've met today and arguably the most loving. Finally, let's meet Inspector Campbell. This
man is determined, he knows what he wants and he wants to get it. He's also obsessive, crazy
over the thing that he wants, it's all he thinks about, it's all he talks about. He's also bitter,
angry at the world and cruel. He's also sadistic, enjoys hurting other people. And that's about all
we have time for today, I've given you more than enough information, go away use it be sensible.
