describing people
situation one these are my friends
hi thanks for coming it’s great to see
you
come in now let me tell you about my
friends
over there that’s my best friend susan
can you see her she has long black hair
quite tall and slim
she’s wearing jeans and a t-shirt
you’ll like her because she’s friendly
and she can be
very funny we were at school together
we had so many laughs
then over there is kevin
he’s the one wearing the suit
he’s serious but very kind he’s a
teacher
i’m sure the kids love him
next to him in the shorts is sam
he always wears shorts whatever the
weather
he’s crazy but he’s interesting too
ask him about his visit to india
oh and there’s mary dancing over there
the one wearing the dress she’s
really clever but she studies all the
time
she’s so hard working you wouldn’t
believe it
anyway how about a drink before i
introduce myself
situation two jane meets
lucy in a clothing store
hello lucy i need your advice
i’ll help if i can i can’t decide which
t-shirt to buy the blue one has
short sleeves while the green t-shirt
fits
but i don’t like the low neckline i have
a long neck
do they have a blue t-shirt in a
different size
no the arm length in all the t-shirts is
too
short for me i have a similar problem
when i buy trousers and find a pair the
correct length
the waist size is too big
you are very tall have you tried some of
the other stores
on the high street yes but the quality
is not as
good as here i recently bought a
cardigan
and the sleeves ended just below the
elbow
the salesperson said it was the fashion
to have sleeves that length
well i suppose i could buy a blue shirt
and tell everyone it is the latest
fashion
and have the shorter sleeves
yes and it will allow your bracelet to
be seen and not hidden by a long sleeve
thanks i’ll buy the blue t-shirt
situation three tui loses her car keys
us treasuries ticked higher as equity
investors no
it’s not possible what happened
i can’t find my car keys i’m going to be late for work
do you have a spare set yes but i don’t
know where they are
try your coat pockets i already have
can you make a more sensible suggestion
it’s no good for getting cross with me i
was only trying to help
get out of my way calm down
think when did you last have them
i don’t know i can’t think
stop panicking you look in the bedroom
and i’ll check the kitchen
they’re not in the bedroom this is
terrible
i found them oh
you are wonderful where did you find them
you’d left them in the car
oh what a relief i must dash
i’m very late i hope the traffic won’t
be too congested
calm down take a deep breath and drive
carefully it’s better to be late
than to have an accident

magazines
i can tell you don’t well this is the
latest fashion from milan oh
i know it’s popular i’ve seen that kind of dress a lot
seems everyone is wearing it these days
i prefer something more individual
yes so i see
what actually is it that you’re wearing
it’s a pair of shorts but it looks like
a skirt see oh yes
how original did you make it yourself no marvelous
but i’m just not sure it’s quite
you okay oh really sally

too sophisticated for you
