IDENTIFYING VOCABULARY ABOUT PEOPLE AND
THEIR PHYSICAL APPEARANCES
a. Introduction
Human physical
appearance refers to the
outward phenotype or look of human beings. There are
infinite variations in human phenotypes, though society reduces the variability
to distinct categories. Physical appearance of humans, in particular those
attributes which are regarded as important for physical attractiveness, are believed by anthropologists to significantly affect the
development of personality and social
relations. Humans are acutely sensitive to their physical appearance, some
theorize for reasons of evolution. Some differences in human appearance
are genetic, others
are the result of age, lifestyle or disease, and many
are the result of personal adornment.
Some
people have traditionally linked some differences in that personal
appearance such as skeletal shape with ethnicity, such as prognathism or elongated stride. Different cultures
place different degrees of emphasis on physical appearance and its importance
to social status and other phenomena.
b. Physical
Characteristics
Physical
characteristics are defining traits or features about your body. The first
thing you see when you look at someone could be their hair, clothes, nose, or
figure. These are all examples of physical characteristics.
To get good
examples of physical characteristics you should look at a person's face, how
tall they are, and what they are wearing.

WRITING TO DESCRIBE PEOPLE AND THEIR
PHYSICAL APPEARANCES
For writing a
description of person we must make notes:
•
personal details
•
appearance
•
personality
Example : The face of the Burglar
I had a chance to see
the man face to face when he was running away to the street. The man, about at
forties, has an oval face. His dark brown hair is curly and thick, covering
some area of the forehead, and the hair is not well shaped. His ears are small and
almost hidden inside the thick hair. Under his heavy eyeglass frames are
almond-shaped dark eyes, and the two curved eyebrows are thin and narrow. He
has a large nose and a full-lipped mouth. Bushy sideburns, an arched moustache
and an unshaven face make him look messy. A mole on the right side of his cheek
above, the moustache can be a unique feature for identifying him. His nervous
facial expression, I think, proves that he is the exact one police want.
