In the whole world you couldn’t find two people which are absolutely similar.
People can be different in: appearance, personality, beliefs, opinions,
education, tastes, language, culture, behavior, manners, dreams and plans for
future.
Some people are nice and loveable, others are unpleasant and difficult to
socialize with. We could describe people using words: considerate, well-
mannered, caring, having a good sense of humor, reliable, intellectual,
independent, cheerful, patient, gloomy, moody, strict, nasty, fussy, greedy ….
People’s appearance and their taste in clothes can also be different:
We wear our hair long, short, shoulder-length, close-cropped, in a (pony)
tail, in plait (in plaits) or in a braid (braids), loose over our shoulders.
Our hair can be straight, curly, wavy, thick, thin, smooth, fair (light),
dark, red, etc. People who have no hair are bald.
Our noses can be short, long, straight, turned-up, pointed, our eyebrows are
thick or thin or sometimes bushy.
Our eyes can be narrow, round, with long or short eyelashes, big and small,
bright, shiny, expressive.
Our mouths can be small and big, with thin or full lips.
Our teeth can be white, even, uneven, big or small.
Our chins can be round, square, pointed and have a dimple.
Our figures can be tall, short, bulky, stout, thin, slim, skinny, slender,
graceful, me people wear a beard and a moustache.
A group of British schoolchildren was asked to write on the topic "What
Makes People different". These are some of their ideas:
1.«No one in the world looks exactly alike, even identical' twins. People
are different colours and sizes...»
2."People are brought up1 differently: some can be kind, considerate and
well-mannered, others are selfish, unhelpful and very ill-mannered. Some are
happy and caring, others are sad, spiteful and strict."
3."There are people with a nice sense of humour. Some people laugh at
things, others don't. Different people find different things funny. Some people
are moody and take things too seriously."
4." People have different tastes in clothes and friends, they like different
styles and
fashions and different kind of music. Some people like dresses and some like
jeans."
5."People behave differently and act differently. Not everybody knows how to
socialize
with others. Some people think that they are better than other people and there
are people who are very good but don't talk about it. Some are better on the
inside than on the outside, others are better on the outside than the inside."
6."We also have different dialects and languages and different cultures."
7."Things you believe in can be quite different. Some people might be
Christian, some
people might not have a religion at all."
8."Some people want to work in an office or to be a doctor, some want to be
a lifeguard,
but other people want to be a lazy lump of cheese."
9."The main thing that makes people different is how they look. Some have
blond and
some have brown hair. People also have different eyes colour. Some people are
taller than others. People have faces of different shapes and hair of different
length. Some people are fat and some are hairier than others..."
10."Some people are bigheaded, clever and smart. And everybody has a
different level of
education."
11."Some people have a bad temper and don't get along with others. There are
nasty
people and nice people. Most people are loving but some are not."
12."We all have different views and opinions."
13."Some people are good at practical things, others sit for hours with
their noses in the
books, but everyone has a special talent for some particular activity."
Of course we people are alike. We can say people are both – different and
alike. For example, Alexander Pushkin and Michail Lermontov they both wrote
verses with the name “Caucasus”. But thought these verses have similar names
they are absolutely different.
