Girl Talk: Describing your MAN!

 

Question: What’s your guy like?

Heidi Klum: He’s mysterious, do you know what I mean? He has these dark eyes, and they’re very intense. He is so warm, and he is so well-mannered, so like a gentleman.

Talking to your friends about your MAN (boyfriend, husband, significant other)!

Heidi talks about her ‘man’ with a lot of passion. She starts by answering the question with a rhetorical question with the alluring adjective ‘mysterious’:

"He’s mysterious, do you know what I mean?"...

No answer is necessary. She is just emphasizing her feelings in an attractive way.  Next, she uses the word ‘these’ to emphasis her man’s eyes. 

Her language sounds natural and gives the listener lots of information.  Her passion and detail signal that more questions about this topic are good for making/continuing a conversation with Heidi.

 A lot of people native and non-native English speakers make the mistake of answering this question with a one-word answer.  If you want to improve your conversation skills it is necessary to use answers full of information and passion.  This will send a signal to the other person to continue with the conversation. 

As you can see, the passion and detailed information comes from the use of adjectives.  The adjectives aren’t difficult but when put in this pattern style become High Class English/Communication!  It is easy to see that she loves this guy! Passionate, natural, clear communication achieved.
