Look at these two paragraphs about the fisherman:

1.    This is a picture of a fisherman from Chile. He has been fishing, and he is carrying a fishing net full of the day’s catch. His hair is grey. He is wearing black shorts and a T-shirt. He has a grey beard and moustache. He looks strong. There are many wrinkles around his eyes. Maybe his T-shirt is made out of fishing net. He is old.
