Last time we found out that Bruce met Sally, and they were on their very first date. Before we find out how they went on their first night out together, let’s look at what they’re looking for in a partner. And what they don’t want.

Here’s a worksheet with some adjectives people use to talk about the person they’re dating.

Download here:

Or here:

What’s she like?ย – Adjectives to describe people

Instructions:

Page 1 – guess the word which has been ‘jumbled up.’

Page 2 – the same words are written, with the vowels missing (ie a,e,i,o,u).

Try to guess the words on page 1 before you try page 2

Level: Upper Intermediate + (page 1 is more advanced)

Answers and notes are on page 3 and 4 – before you check these, try to guess the meaning of the words first.

Enjoy!

Once you’ve done this, come back and leave a comment below about what you are looking for in a partner

    I forgot to comment on my ideal partner.

    Well, I’m looking for somebody who is a kind-hearted person, educated, romantic and with a curiosity to explore the world.

    Good looks are a plus but not essential. As a matter of fact, I’m interested in a girl now but I don’t know much about her (not even if she has a boyfriend). I guess I’ll have to find out before I start wooing her!

      There’s some great vocabulary right there, Francisco.

      Nah, assume she has no bf – if she has one, she’ll tell you either just before the kiss..or just after ๐Ÿ™‚

      Btw I keep meaning to write a post on writing a personal, after these worksheets and your comment I have an opening.

    Hello David,

    I’ve just studied this worksheet and consider it as an useful one. You basically showed what do people use in everyday life. I learned by heart all of them. I also think there is a bit of slang. For example I didn’t find a word “clingy” in an English dictionary. But it’s even better to find something not from an official source.
    But I would like to argue little bit the example “eg think of the man who ‘must’ hear “I love you” from his girlfriend every day.” The idea to know you are loved and a partner keeps reminding it, of course using different styles to express it, otherwise it looks like a disease, appears to me as an interesting one.

      Hi Alex

      I’m happy you’re going through some of the worksheets. Keep on going, there’s more, and more to come as well ๐Ÿ™‚

      Re: ‘clingy’, it’s definitely negative. Let’s say you’re dating someone and you feel they’re not independent enough, that they ‘need’ to hear how much you love them or they need your attention, etc. But they do it in a way which shows them to be quite dependent on others or that they are annoying, you don’t have your space.

      Here’s another article I wrote this week on LinkinEnglish: http://www.linkinenglish.com/answering-questions/

      Yes, see you next week!
