This is my  motherniecesister  Helen. She's young, slim and beautifulgood-lookingattractive. She's got red, curlystraightwavy hair, a pretty snub nose and pinkroundrosey cheeks. Her eyes are green which I think match her headhairear rather well. She likes to dress casually, and most of the time she just wearshaswhere jeans and a jumper.   This here is a picture of Auntie Mable. She is short and somewhat fatchubbyplump . She's very elegant, though. Her straight, blackblondebrown hair is cut short and she always wears a bob. She's also fond of hatscapsrats which is not terribly trendy these days. But I suppose you don't always have to look casualfashionablecomfortable to look good. I have no idea how old she is, but I'm guessing she would say middle-agedoldelderly , which normally means the person doesn't want to be called old , but they're not young any more either. Auntie Mable is awfully chatty. Sometimes I think she never stops talkingwalkingtaking. Auntie Mable also loves her tiny dog, who could easily fit in her fancy handbags.   This is my nicenephewniece Julia, and her little brother, Jake. Julia is a toddler and Jake is only a tiny baby. They're both cheerful little kids - always smiley and trendyfriendlyhappily. Julia has whitewidewild brown hair which she doesn't like to comb. And Jake has hardly any hair at all. Julia has a pretty little button nose with some very sweet wrinklesfrecklescheeks around it. And Jake is a roundovalsquare -faced little chap. They are both rather determined. They always know exactly what they want.   This is my cousincousinscuisine, George. He is taller-than-average, and so he is a bit clumsy. He often bumps his hairheadbag on doorways and keeps knocking things over because of his long arms. He is also a bit overweightchubbyobese, so most of the time he wears comfortable baggy clothes. He says he'd like to lose heightweighthair , so he goes running every day with his dog. Because he is rather large and he haswearwears glasses too, he is normally very shy. He doesn't talk to people much and doesn't have many friends either. I still like him a lot because he is dangerousfamousgenerous and warm-hearted.   This is my uncle, John. He is probably the most interestingboringexciting character in my family. These days he is stocky and badbaldbold , but when he was younger he was thinslimskinny and had thick dark hair. He was awfully handsomegood-lookinggorgeous . Now that he hasn't got any hair, he always wears a hat and he's also grown a beardmustachehair. He normally wears a suit and you will never see him without his briefcase. Uncle John is very more goingin goingoutgoing and can talk to anyone about anything. He has some of the most amusing stories I've ever heard.   And finally this is my aunt, Lola. As you can see, she's rather extravagant. These days she's a bit biglargeobese , but when she was young she was a real beautycutieplumpy. Although she was never tall, she was slender with long, black, shiny hair and blue eyes. Her hair is not long anymore and she's turning a little baygreengray. On the whole, she's now quite round, but I think her build suits her personality. She's optimisticpessimisticrealistic and energetic, and never seems to worry. In this picture she's wearing her favourite hat and a rather classy shirtskirtdress. One has to look elegant even if only going to the market, she told me.   See you next time!     III) Watch the video and check if your answers were right:     IV)  Look at the pictures below and finish writing the descriptions:   Number 14 is tallof average heightshort and has short curly blondelong wavy brownshoulder-length straight brown hair.
