Question Type 1: Basic Description Questions

A. Opening phrase + the first prompt from card

• 
  Ok then, I guess I could start off by answering who the person is...
  
• 
  Alright then, in response to the first question of who the person is...
  
• 
  So to begin with, in reply to the initial point of who the person is...
  
• 
  Ok, I’ll start the ball rolling by touching on the matter of who the person is...
  
• 
  Right then, like to get cracking by pointing out who the person is...
  
• 
  So I suppose I should commence with the first aspect which is who the person is...
  
• 
  Initially then, I’d like to get started by looking at who the person is...
  
• 
  So, to start with I’ll talk about who the person is...
  
•

Before you add your content sentence, you need to add another linking phrase:

• 
  ...and I think I would have to choose...
  
• 
  ...and I’d have to go for...
  
• 
  ...and I’d probably select...
  
• 
  ...and my choice is going to be...
  
• 
  ...and the one I’d pick is...
  

So your opening sentence might be:

Ok, I’ll start the ball rolling by touching on the matter of who the person is, and have to go for Jackie Chan.

It would be a good idea to develop this first sentence further using a simple linking structure: because, for the reason that, actually, who is, which is (was), where, in fact, although, particularly, especially.

Ok, I’ll start the ball rolling by touching on the matter of who the person is, and I'd have to go for Jackie Chan for the reason that...

Remember, the first point will probably be your shortest point; so don’t worry if you can’t develop it with lots of details.
