Introduction

Police in Canada and Germany want help from the public. They are looking for people who committed two different crimes.

In Ottawa, a man attacked two old women on February 2, 2026. The man is 20 to 25 years old and thin. He wore a blue and green jacket. He wore one black shoe and one white shoe. In Munich, two teenagers robbed a 15-year-old boy on a Saturday night. The boy was jogging. The criminals used a knife and hit the boy. They stole three bank cards. One criminal in Munich has short blonde hair. The other has long brown hair. He wore a black jacket.

🎨 Describing People (The 'What they look like' Pattern)

To move to A2, you need to describe people clearly. Look at how the text uses Adjectives (describing words) before the Noun (the person/thing).

1. The Visual Formula Color/Size →\rightarrow Object

  • Blue and green →\rightarrow jacket
  • Short blonde →\rightarrow hair
  • Long brown →\rightarrow hair
  • Black →\rightarrow shoe

2. Describing the Body We use the verb 'to be' for general build and age:

  • "The man is 20 to 25 years old"
  • "The man is thin"

Quick Tip: When you see two colors, use 'and' (e.g., blue and green). When you describe a person's hair, put the length first, then the color (long brown hair).
