Introduction.
In this project I’m going to talk about a very important and special person for me, my uncle Francisco. I chose him because since I was young he has looked after me, he has worked in various jobs, since a few years ago he had to take care of my grandmother because she is sick and because he is a good person and he is always helping people.

Description. 2.1. Bodily appearance.
My uncle Francisco is 50 years old and he is medium height, about 1’70 m. His skin is between suntanned and pale, but in the summer he gets darker. He has a round face and also has some wrinkles. His eyes are green and light brown. I like his eyes a lot. Also he has a stubbly beard, but I don’t really like it. He has short grizzled back hair, but also he has grey hair in his forehead. He also has a long and straight nose, small ears, cracked ruby lips, white straight teeth and tiny ears. His chin is square, he has rosy cheeks and a short neck. Now I’m going to talk about his body. My uncle is flat chested, with long slender hands, a shapely back but not really big and finally long thin legs that are appropriate to his body. He usually wears a pullover in winter or tshirts in summer, trousers almost always dark, for example black, brown, gray.., a scarf in winter and also a jacket, black or brown shoes, although in summer he wears beach sandals. 3
2.2 Personally description. My uncle is very lively even though he doesn’t like to stay long in festivities; he is shy with the strangers and he is also easygoing, nice and friendly, that is why he has a lot of friends. Other good things are that he is very hard working, he had a food shop for 13 years in the village where he lives, Maniños, but before buying the shop he worked in different jobs, a soda water delivery man, a postman and in a car replacement shop. He is attentive with the people in general, he is loving, sometimes too much and he is also very cold natured. Francisco is sometimes uneasy, he normally gets nervous with minor problems, he is meticulous and he has much temperament, but he stops being angry quickly. 2.3 Physical expressions. He has a rasping voice, and he sang in a choir during various years in Maniños and also he has a smiling face because he is almost always happy. 2.4. Work and hobbies. My uncle has a food shop that he opens everyday and he closes it just 2 or 3 days a year. He likes all types of music, as orchestras and chorus, to walk, to go out with his friends from time to time, to give presents…

Conclusion.
I chose my uncle because he is a very important person for me, that always helped me in many things of my life or with the school subjects. He had to live in a very difficult era when he was young, now he has to look after my grandmother every day but in spite of that he is always happy. In this project I learned to do a complete description about a person and his life and also I learned many new adjectives, especially to describe personality. I think my opinion about my uncle is the same as the other people, because I think everyone likes him and he talks voc to a lot of people because he has a food shop.
