To do that, we use adjectives, like \u201ctall\u201d or \u201cshort\u201d or \u201cwell-dressed\u201d or \u201cheavy\u201d or \u201cthin.\u201d When we describe people, we also talk about the color of their hair. And here&#8217;s a couple of special hair words for you: \u201cbrunette\u201d means someone with brown hair, and \u201cblonde\u201d refers to someone with light hair or yellow hair.<\/p>\n<p>925 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessenglishpod.com\/category\/video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">English video<\/a> lessons for beginners (CEFR level A2).
