Ss learn how to describe people by using adjectives. First, a brief review of popular adjectives is carried out, followed by a listening exercise to get Ss acquainted with their use in everyday language. A lesson on form follows, with emphasis on where adjectives belong in speech. After that Ss get to apply their newly acquired skills in describing a setting in an airport, followed by listening to a recording of someone describing certain people to look for at an airport.
