Well done. Of course, many of these adjectives can describe people as well.

For example, you might say someone is selfish, unfriendly and aloof. Or friendly, loving and cuddly.

But we wouldn't recommend calling someone furry! 

To do

What are you like?

Choose five adjectives. Use them to write a description of yourself and share it with your friends. Do they agree with you?
