hello hello hello today we're looking at
people and how to describe them how can
we describe well he's short he's
shorts and he's well he isn't fat but he
isn't either what can we say he's
of medium build yes short and of medium
build just a minute
I am not short well you certainly aren't
tall okay I'm not tall but I'm not short
either
I'm of okay
now what can we say about
Kevin's hair it's a very nice brown
color he's got short straight brown hair
how would you describe yourself
well I'm quite tall I'm and I've
got long this is
he's short he's of medium build and his
hair he's got short straight brown hair
what about well she's quite tall
she's and she's got long
what do you look like how
would you describe yourself I

medium weight brown hair
and and I'm five foot four
inches tall
I have long brown hair and it's straight
and I have green eyes and I'm not fat
and I'm not my eyes
are blue I'm five foot four and I weigh
a hundred and twelve pounds I'm sure
middle-aged a little bit but
fairly happy how do you describe someone
you don't know someone in a photograph
for example where do you think he comes
from I think he's Italian how do you
know well he looks Italian doesn't he he
could be Mexican he might be
or or what about his age
how old is he well he must be over 17
why he owns a car doesn't he he's older
than 17 he must be at least 25 are you
sure absolutely sure well he's certainly
over 20 he looks Italian he could be
Mexican he might be he must be
over 17 he's certainly over 20
this is it Shakespeare's house
this must be Shakespeare's living room
yes
and that must be Shakespeare's
no it can't be Shakespeare's

oh this must be
Shakespeare's and this must be
Shakespeare's son
hello mr. Shakespeare what
are you talking about get out of my
house well I like shakespeare's house
but I didn't like his son
let's join James and
they're looking for ways to
Chile's new educational computer
James you know that model agency you
went to see when you were in Manchester
yes what did you tell them I asked them
to send us photographs of children from
12 to 14 years old that we could use to
an educational computer well
they sent photographs but most of these
aren't children are they I mean look at
this one what's the matter with him well
he's too old he must be at least 18 he
could be 23 I don't think so
he must be he looks like a professional
it says here he's 16 it can't
be it must be a mistake
and look at this one she looks great
yes she looks great but she doesn't look
like a school girl does she I don't know
school girls would look like that these
days she doesn't look like a school girl
who enjoys using a computer she looks
like a and it says she's 14
she can't possibly be 14 what about this
one
she looks about 14 she looks
and she looks like someone who enjoys
doing her work James what that's a
photograph of me it says here he's 16
he can't be 16 it must be a mistake
he can't be 16 it isn't possible that
the boy in the photograph is only 16 he
looks much older he can't be 16 it must
be a mistake
Chris is a director of a model
agency
it's called Elite and it's
mainly for female models the agency
finds models for magazines
and the people at the
agency who deal with the models are
called Booker's what kind of models do
they look for and how do they find them
we have a quite program
a lot of the Booker's will constantly
when they go home or if
they're going away on holiday summer you
know it's part of their their job and
they look for a look that they think
might or might not be this is
a card that all the Booker's take around
with them they're keeping their
so if they see a girl on the street that
they think is particularly interesting
you know they can take it out of their
pocket their whatever it is and
and it gives the would-be model a
feeling of reasonable security that it's
a agency with pictures of
girls on and a telephone number that
they can call afterwards and that's just
one of the little things that we use to
help us and we have an open-door
policy I mean anyone wants to come in
they come in we can assess them they
don't need expensive they
don't need anything really but
themselves and perhaps their mother or
father to them and they can
come in and they'll have an expert
assessment basically I will show you a
book of a very new girl give you an idea
sort of pictures that come just from
testing and then gradually she'll start
doing shots for looks magazine for
example 19 young girl magazines we look
for a girl around 5 foot 8 who's got
features you know nice eyes
nice mouth and girls with great
personalities as well and you know good
professional attitudes they get there on
time they do this stuff they keep their
their you know they keep the client very
happy and the client books them again
that's the sort of girl you're looking
for next weekend
she's really good Thanks weekend this
girl here this is half and
half English and she was in a
shoe shop in the Kings Road she was
working there and she has a very
Latin look she's a very beautiful girl
and again has a good personality she's a
dark coffee skin dark hair and she looks
great with her head nice neck she's a
good profile and who like
that I mean it creates a nice image and
I think that you know she's going to do
very very well this girl very nice this
is another girl here
who's was discovered in a
model competition with company magazine
and she's one of the top English models
and I think a lot of English models
don't necessarily look English for
example big she might be Spanish
she might be Italian she might be South
American you know in fact she's very
English
I think that there's a great
satisfaction in finding someone
them putting them on the road to success
and you know watching them grow not only
in terms of their career but in terms of
their their personality their character
I mean you'd the change you see in in
some of the models over the two or three
year period is quite
and you can get a lot of satisfaction
from that I think lots of tall very
beautiful women and that's the end of
the program David yes do you think I
look like a model well I mean if you saw
a photograph with me and you didn't know
me would you say hey he could be a film
star yes yes
yes I I think you're right
goodbye
