Unit 3 Fashions and fads

a) This is a very casual look obviously … the T-shirt and jeans make her look very natural … She looks quite young in this picture, I think.

b) It’s hard to believe this is the same person … Obviously, her whole look is very different from the other picture, Picture A …the glasses make her look much more serious, much more mature … and the hairstyle, too … In fact, she looks like a senior executive or something like that, something in the business world.

c) Hmm … I’m not sure about this one … the hair makes her look younger, doesn’t it? Personally, I think her hair is better in the other pictures … and I think she looks prettier in Picture A, to be honest. That tracksuit isn’t the most elegant outfit in the world … I’d say she looks better in Picture A, definitely.

d) You can see how the dress makes her look taller than in the other pictures. This is definitely the most sophisticated of the four pictures … it’s the hairstyle, isn’t it? It gives her a very elegant, sophisticated appearance … nice. I think this is the best picture, I really do.

Unit 4 Home swap

1. When I retire, if I can afford it, I’d love to live in a cottage in a picturesque village somewhere in the country, not too remote. The most important thing for me would be the garden – I’d like a traditional English garden, with fruit trees and lots of flowers – not too big, though. I’d spend my life in the garden, especially in the spring and summer.

2. My dream house would be on the coast, by the sea, on a beautiful unspoilt beach. It’d be modern and quite simple, with wooden floors and big windows, and from every window you’d be able to see the sea. It’d be quite isolated, with no neighbours for miles and miles. Can you imagine – just the sound of the wind and the sea?

3. I’d love to have a big old town house in the centre of London, maybe one of those beautiful terraced houses with big rooms and high ceilings, and a lovely staircase going down to the hall. But the bathrooms and kitchens would have to be modern, because old ones are cold and a bit impractical. I’d need some help looking after it though so…

4. If I won the lottery, which of course I won’t, I’d buy a big penthouse flat, you know, with one of those intelligent fridges which orders food from the supermarket all by itself when you’re running out and a huge TV and music system – but all very stylish and minimalist.
