How to use Be + like & Look like

Last week friend of mine had an assignment from school. She was asked to discuss about short story, find out the characters, setting, problems, etc.In that assignment, there was questions about characters in short story "What is she like?" and "What does she look like?" Her teacher said that the two questions have the same answers. In fact, those questions absolutely different.Those questions asked about different things. That's why I think maybe I should give you, who has the same confusion, information about the usage of those phrases.

1. Be + Like
When we are asking about someone's personality or attitude, we use this phrase.
Eg : What is she like? this question can be answered :

She is nice, and friendly.

2. Look like
This phrase is used when we're asking about someone's appearance or physical appearance.
Eg : What does she look like? this also can be answered
:
She is not really tall. She has a blue eyes and brown hair.
