hello my name is emma and in today's
video
we are going to do something very
special okay we are going to practice
our listening skills
by doing a really really fun activity
that i love to do with my classes
so for this um video we are going to be
listening for adjectives about the face
okay so i'm going to teach you
a whole bunch of new words and maybe
some words you already know
when that we can use to describe our
faces
okay so you are going to first learn
some new words
and we're going to review some words and
once you
have these words down what we are going
to do
is i am going to um describe
a face to you and while i describe it
you're going to listen carefully and you
are going to draw the face okay so this
is what you're going to do you're going
to take
your pen or your pencil and a piece of
paper
and you are going to draw what i
describe
okay now it's okay if you're not a great
artist
you don't have to be for this video you
don't have to be picasso
or leonardo da vinci okay as you can
tell
i'm not the greatest of artists so
that's okay
but after you listen and you draw what i
say
you're going to look at your picture and
you're going to compare it
to my picture or what i was describing
and then you can see okay are these the
same are they different
did i follow the instructions did i
understand these adjectives correctly
and so this is a great way to really
practice
your listening and to also learn some
new words
all right so let's get started
here is my art okay so i'm going to
describe these pictures now
um just so you learn some new words and
we're all we're also going to reviews
maybe some words you already know
okay um and i hope none of my drawings
creep you out
i know that uh you know they might be a
little bit
unusual but let's get started so when
we're talking about faces
there's many different ways to describe
a face i've just picked two
um this man has a long
face okay his face is in the shape of an
oval but it's also very long
now compare this to this person who has
a
round face more like a circle okay
so during the description i'm going to
be describing faces and i'm going to
either use the word a long face or a
round face
okay so here we have um
the eyes we have the nose
we have the mouth in this picture we
have
lips which are these things um so
we might have really red lips or um
big lips like angelina jolie maybe small
lips
thin lips okay another thing i'm going
to talk about in this video
is eyebrows so the eyebrows are this
part of your face
they're the hairy part above the eyes
here
so i have two different types of
eyebrows these eyebrows so you see
we have eyes here the eyebrows here are
very
thin whereas these eyebrows
are thick or we can also call them
bushy eyebrows okay because they almost
look like bushes
bushy or thick um
okay another thing you're going to hear
during this listening
activity is i'm going to talk about
wrinkles
so what's a wrinkle well as you get
older
um your face starts to develop these
lines
usually around the eyes or maybe around
you know your smile and we call these
age lines
wrinkles okay so here's the spelling of
that
word so you'll be hearing this word
during the listening
activity you might also hear the word
braces
so braces are um something
that helps your teeth to become straight
so during the listening
one of the people i'm going to be
describing may have
braces so this is the teeth and it's
just a
piece of wire that goes across the teeth
to help
keep the teeth straight okay
so um anything else in this picture no
let's move on to this picture the other
thing you might hear during this
activity
is i might be describing facial hair so
when i'm talking about facial
hair i'm not talking about the hair on
the head i'm talking about the hair
on the face so this man
has a lot of facial hair
he has a beard which is hair that comes
from your chin
down you might have a short beard or a
very long beard
this man has a long beard i also put a
mustache on this man
so that's the facial hair or the hair
under the nose
the mustache and this is how we spell
that word
there are so many different types of
mustaches
in this video we're just going to say
mustache and
you know it'll look something like this
we sometimes also talk about sideburns
a sideburn is facial hair that um goes
near the ear and it's um
it's like facial hair that comes down
to about here so for example this man
this part
is his facial hair i mean his uh
sideburns
and we call them sideburns because
they're at the side of your face
so sideburns um
i've also put on this person freckles
so what are freckles freckles are these
spots um
you know a lot of the times people who
might have lighter skin or maybe
red hair or blond hair a lot of the
times you'll see them have a lot of
spots on their face those are freckles
and other people have them as well so
the word is freckles
i've drawn them right here um this
person
also has he's a very strange looking
person actually
i've given him what we call bangs
so bangs are it's part of your hair
and it's when you have hair that goes on
your forehead
so this is your forehead and when you
have hair that comes down here we call
that bangs
so you see this part
these are his bangs so it's part of your
hair that's on your forehead
um i've also drawn a lady here
this lady has bangs as well and her hair
is also in braids okay so you might hear
the word braids during this listening
activity
these are braids okay
um another word that might come up
is the word cheek these are our
cheeks okay so they're a part of your
face um
here are his cheeks i put freckles on
this man's cheeks
okay and i'll spell that out for you
okay so that might be another word that
will come up um
okay now i've also talked a little bit
about eyes and in this listening
activity you'll be hearing
some things about eyes um these
parts of the eyes the hairy part we call
those eye
lashes so this person has very
long eyelashes okay um
maybe if i add even more now they're
very thick
thick long eyelashes
um this person also i've drawn some
dark circles under her eyes
and so we call these dark circles so
it's when
you know some people they haven't had a
lot of sleep if you've stayed up the
whole night
or you know you haven't been sleeping
well you'll get dark circles under your
eyes
and sometimes we call these bags so
this person has really dark bags under
their eyes or they have bags
because they haven't slept well okay so
hopefully some of these words are new to
you
and we also have maybe some words you
already know like nose or lips
or face um so take a moment
look at these words think about them
and when you're ready i want you to get
a pen
or a pencil and a piece of paper and
we're going to start
practicing our listening okay so you can
pause the video
get those things and when you're ready
we are going to start
drawing okay so now i am going to
describe the face of a person
and i want you to draw it as best as you
can okay and i
will be using these words if you want
you can look at these words they might
help you
but if you feel very comfortable you can
um
not look at these words maybe you could
um you know just look at your
piece of paper and draw okay
so do we have our pen ready and our
paper ready
let's get started this is a man
and he has a long face
he has long white hair
a long white mustache and a long
white beard he has very bushy eyebrows
he has small eyes and a large
pointy nose there are dark circles
under his eyes he has wrinkles around
his eyes
and his mouth his face is very
serious okay so take a moment
and i'm going to add one other thing
he's wearing a very
pointy hat
okay so take a moment finish that
picture okay if you need to you can
re-watch
a couple times you know make sure you
get everything
okay and once you're ready
i'm now going to do the big reveal as to
who you just drew
you drew gandalf the wizard
okay so compare your picture how does it
look
does it look like gandalf did you do the
long face
did you do the bushy eyebrows and the
wrinkles
all right let's take a moment see if
what parts um you might have missed did
you get everything
all right and now when you're ready we
will do our next picture
okay so the second face i'm going to
describe
okay so you might need a new paper for
this
this person is a girl she has a round
face
she has small eyes and she is wearing
big circular glasses
she has freckles on her cheeks and
braces on her teeth
she has thin eyebrows and
dark circles under her eyes she has a
very small nose
and a very big mouth she has
two long braids at the side
of her face okay
so take a moment if you need to re-watch
that part of the video that's okay
and once you are ready i'm gonna tell
you who you just drew
okay the person you just drew is a
cartoon character i used to love
when i was younger and her name is eliza
thornberry
okay so compare your picture how does it
look
did you remember to draw the braces did
you remember the braids
okay let's take a moment
okay are you ready for the next one
let me get ready okay
all right so when you're ready get your
pen
and your paper and let's get started
okay the next person is a man
so he has a man's face he has a big
round head two big eyes
bushy eyebrows and a long nose
he has a big brown mustache two big
ears and a big smile where you can
only see the top uh the top row of his
teeth
so you can't see the bottom row of his
teeth you can see the top
row of his teeth he is wearing a red
hat that looks almost like a baseball
hat
in the center of his red hat there is a
circle
on it and inside the circle there is
the letter m
okay so that one's a little bit harder
there's a lot
that i just described so take a moment
if you need to you can re-watch the
video
or re-watch that part all right
and once you're ready i'm going to tell
you who it is you just drew
you just drew mario
alright how does your picture look does
it compare
does it look like mario
alright so when you're ready and again
you don't have to be an artist it
doesn't have to look exact
the point here is that you're using
these words
okay the last person i am going to
describe to you
when you are ready you can get your
paper again
so this is a girl she has a round face
she has short hair that reaches her ears
so her hair is short it goes to her
ears she has thick bangs
big brown eyes a small nose and
a thin mouth so who did i just describe
are you ready i just talked about
dora the explorer okay
so compare your picture does it look
like dora
okay yes maybe maybe no that's okay
um so you have just practiced listening
to
a whole bunch of different adjectives
about the face
we use these a lot when we're describing
people or even when we're reading books
or um if you like police dramas the
police often have to just
somebody often describes a suspect to
the police so you might hear these words
there
so they do come up this is a great
activity to practice with your friends
with your teacher maybe in your
classroom you can suggest it to everyone
you know you can play this with your
family pretty much with with anyone who
is also practicing english this is a
great game
and you know when you learn new words
a really good idea is to draw them if
you can because that will really help
you remember them as well
