成年人的外貌、行为都和青少年有所不同，用词上要注意这一点。
My father is a farmer, so he doesn't need to go to work on time. However, he is diligent and always busy working in the fields at daytime.In the evening, he likes playing chess with our neighbours. He plays it well. People in my village say that he is a wise person.
工作和业余爱好最能说明一个人的性格了，因此要抓住人物活动的细节，重点刻画，从而让读者了解这个人。
My father is easy-going. He often helps mum do housework. Indeed, he is a better cook than mum. I feel so lucky to have such a good father.
