Having a smooth, shiny surface that reflects light.
“The outer shell looks glossy, like it was freshly painted.”
“It has a glossy finish that reflects the light from the window.”
Surface texture is an easy way to add detail in Task 8, and 'glossy' is perfect for describing shiny plastic, metal, or painted surfaces on an unusual object. Contrast it with 'matte' to show off a wider vocabulary range in the same response, for example 'the surface is glossy, almost like it's been polished.'
Synonyms: shiny, shining, lustrous
