В образце речь об актрисе, сыгравшей Китнисс: это Дженнифер Лоуренс. Для собственного описания выбираем другого известного человека и не называем его до вопроса «Who is she?». Используем группы слов из таблицы: возраст, рост, волосы, глаза, черты характера и интересы. «She is» описывает человека, «she has» — внешние признаки, «she likes» — интересы. Сведения, которые нельзя знать точно, например характер актрисы, лучше обозначить как впечатление: «She seems friendly».
