Beginner
A: That girl looks very attractive, doesnt she?
B: do you think so? I dont like girls who look like that. I like girls who arent too slim. If you like her, go and talk to her.
A: Id like to, but theres her boyfriend. Hes very broad-shouldered.
B: hes huge! He must go to the gym to have a well-built body like that.
A: do you prefer tall girls or short ones?
B: I dont mind, but I like girls with long hair.
A: we have different tastes. I like girls with short hair. I like tall girls- probably because Im so tall myself.
B: have you ever dated a girl taller than you?
A: no, never. I dont think Ive ever met a girl taller than me! Have you gained weight recently?
B: yes, I have. Perhaps I should go to the gym, like that girls boyfriend.
A: I m getting a bit plump1 myself. Perhaps Ill go with you.
Intermediate2
A: lets play a little game. Ill describe someone and you try and guess who it is.
B: ok. Im really bored at the moment.
A: ok. This man is tall and slim. Hes got blue eyes and curly3 brown hair.
B: does he have a moustache or a beard?
A: good question. Yes, he has a moustache, but no beard.
B: sounds like mike, is it?
A: yes, it is. You describe someone we both know.
B: right. Shes not very tall and shes quite plump. Shes got blonder hair, but I dont know what color her eyes are.
A: is she attractive? I dont think I know anyone like that.
B: I like slim girls, so I doubt I would find a plump girl attractive. Youll have to give me some more information.
A: shes got tiny feet and wears really unfashionable shoes. In fact, she wears unfashionable clothes too.
B: this doesnt sound like anyone I know. I give up. Teel me who she is.
A; shes your mother!
B: how embarrassing4! I dont even recognize a description of my own mother! How important do you think appearance is ?
A: I think that unfortunately its more important than a persons character. Advertising5 and stuff6 tells us that we have to be attractive. I think its wrong, but thats the way the world is now.
A: Im afraid youre right. I chose my girlfriend because she has a wonderful personality.
B: well, you certainly didnt choose her because of her looks! Hey, I was joking! Dont hit me!
