DESCRIBING A PERSON
6
A. STUDY SOMETHING. Why not go back to school? Most universities offer
evening or summer courses. You can explore your interests, study for a
qualification and get to know the other students.
B. GO TO MUSEUMS. Many museums have lectures followed by social
gatherings where you can meet and talk to people with similar interests.
You could also become a volunteer museum guide for overseas visitors –
you’ll learn a lot!!
C. BUY A FOOTBALL SEASON TICKETS. If you are a football fan, buy a
season ticket for your local stadium. The people who sit near you support
your team too but you might have more interests in common.
D. GET A DOG. While out on walks, your dog will “introduce” you to other dog
owners but you could also take him to obedience classes. You’ll have a happy
pet and some new friends as well.
E. JOIN A CHOIR. If you’re a frustrated musician, then why not join a choir?
Performing will give you a sense of achievement –one you’ll share with the
other choir members.
F. VOLUNTEER. Teach teenagers about recycling or help clean up a local
beach. You’ll feel good about yourself and activities like these are a
perfect way of meeting like-minded people.
G. GO ON A CRUISE. Cruises are a great way of meeting a wide range of
people from different countries. There is always a huge programme of
activities to do, including art and history., so you really can’t help making
new friends.
H. JOIN A BOOK CLUB (OR START ONE!) Some libraries sponsor book clubs
but if yours doesn’t, start one yourself. Invite friends and take it in turns
to choose a book to discuss –it’ll certainly improve your conversation skills.

In the photo I can see a family having a picnic inside. They are sitting around a
long table which has a curtain on it. The table is outside near a sea and it is on
some grass. The weather is good because everyone is wearing summer clothes.
There is a lot of food on the table. There are some breads and a bowl of
something –I think it’s crisps or breads. There is a big fork in the middle of the
table and plates with food on. On the left there are two little girls who are
enjoying the food and they are sitting with their big family. They all look happy.
