PEOPLE IN THE PRESENT - present tenses and describing people

This ppt is prepared for adults (but can be used with teenagers as well) who still have problems with describing people and deciding when to use the Present Simple or when to use the Present Continuous. It drills the difference with practical picture descriptions, also expanding their vocabulary bank of descriptive adjectives. It is primarily meant to be a speaking drill, but writing can be done as follow-up.

*gloriawpai*	Thanks a lot! posted by gloriawpai 20110624 Anita, I liked the idea of using famous people, for practicing the present simple and the present continuous. There´s a slide missing, the last one with Angelina Jolie, for present continuous.

*mariannina*	Ciao posted by mariannina 20110624 I don´t teach adults any more but this summer I´ll have a teen who doesn´t like English at all and your work will help him understand the use of simple present and present progressive. Putting two slides for each character will give him the "visual" difference between the two rules. Thank you my dear
