人物描寫的運用很普遍，人物描寫的目的是刻畫人物的性格，表現人物的精神面貌，這同時也能更深刻地表達文章的中心。人物描寫應力求具體生動，能做到繪聲繪色地再現“人物”，讓讀者如見其人，如聞其聲 。以下的英語范文歡迎大家參閱!

　　Thomas Edison

　　Born in America, Thomas Edison was a great scientist and inventor. He was once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man full of imagination.

　　I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1,000 inventions. In his lifetime, he was always eager to know how things worked, which helped him to earn the nickname"the Wizard of Melo Park".He was also so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many great inventions.

　　What impresses me most is his famous saying,"Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration."Probably I cannot be an Edison myself, but I can be a hard-working learner. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born, but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.
