How to personalize a template

Good person-description vocabulary is specific, respectful, and relevant to the purpose; it avoids reducing people to stereotypes and distinguishes observed behavior from assumptions about motives or identity.

  1. 1
    Choose the template closest to your actual purpose.
  2. 2
    Replace every bracketed field with specific information.
  3. 3
    Delete any sentence that does not belong in your situation.
  4. 4
    Read the result aloud for unnatural transitions or repeated phrasing.
  5. 5
    Verify names, dates, links, facts, and promises before sending or publishing.
