ADVENTURES IN CONVERSATION
4. Read the following text and use it to describe the
appearance of each member of your family.
My father is tall. He has large hands
and his feet are size 45. He has short, dark, curly hair and a small beard. His
arms, legs and chest are hairy. He's a cheerful person and when he laughs, you
can see even white teeth. He wears spectacles (glasses) and you can't see his
eyes, but I know they are steel gray. He's 43. He usually wears jeans and
checked shirts or sweaters. But for work he wears a suit and a tie and looks
every inch a teacher.
My mother is a very different person. She's
short and plumpish. She has small hands and feet. She has long, strong, fair
hair. She has dimples and rosy cheeks. She has long eyelashes which she darkens
with mascara. She likes pink nail-varnish, high-heeled shoes and fashionable
clothes. Her favourite colours are red and light blue.
My 20-year old sister likes to be well-dressed.
She used lots of make-up, is always going to the hairdresser's and has
fantastic hairstyles. She's tall and slim, with slender arms and elegant legs.
Her full lips are always red. She's open-minded and nice. She is married and
has a baby.
My baby nephew is still just a toddler; he
can't speak yet, but he's very selfish and bores me.
My boss is an elderly man, rather short and
stout. His hair is grey and thin and he's bald on top. He's clean-shaven. He
has a double chin. He's always immaculately dressed: a white shirt, a dark
well-creased suit with a matching tie and black leather shoes. He's a serious
and punctual man, doesn't talk much and seems to be not overgenerous.
5. Describe your friends / groupmates / some famous people.
The others will try to guess who you are describing
6. You meet your friend after.
a) a disease;
b) a span of time;
c) holidays;

phrases.
How to ask for an opinion. What
do you think of/about...? How do you find ...?
How to save an
opinion. Speaking personally, I think... In my opinion/ From my point of
view.. .If you ask me/ If you want my opinion.. .As far as I am able to
judge...
How to agree with the opinion: I'd
go along with you on that. I take your point. I entirely agree with you. That's
exactly how I see it. Perhaps, you are right.
7 . Use your imagination
and describe Cleopatra (Nephertiti's) appearance. Do you think our perception
of the ideal face and figure has changes with the centuries? What makes you
think so? Do you think people's idea of beauty is different in different
cultures? We know that in France heads held high are called 'les femmes
girafe'. But in Burma the women with elongated necks (sometimes up to ten
inches long) are thought beautiful. Do you think the idea of beauty will be
different in 2500?

READING (2)
Jack is popular with his fellow-students and
most of his teachers. He works hard in his classroom, but sometimes he can be
noisy. He is not deliberately disruptive, but he does find it difficult to sit still
for long periods. He is full of energy. He is late for his classes more often
than most students but he is always willing to help teachers and students.
Jack is generally good-tempered, but he has been in two fights
since he left school. He is quite happy at school and doesn't seem to have any
strong opinions about how things could be changed. He gets on well with his
parents although he frequently quarrels with his younger sisters.
Jane plays netball for the school team for
her year, she is very popular with her fellow students. She takes the lead in
arranging extra netball practices and group parties. She has a lively
personality and a sense of humour. Her teachers like her but they complain
about her unpunctuality and sometimes lateness of her homework.
There is one particular teacher she does not like; she has been
accused of being insolent to this teacher, but Jane denied it strongly.
She has strong opinions about how the university should be run.
Out of school she is dressed in very up-to-date clothes and collects all the
latest records. She is a keen sportsman.
Len is a very intelligent boy. He is not
very good at games, in fact he shows little interest in sport in general. He is
no weakling however. He reads book after book, plays chess well and is very
good at Physics. He is a friendly person but perhaps does not make friends as
easily as some of the other students.
Whatever he gives his mind on, he does with great determination.
His parents are very proud of him. He lives in a flat on a housing estate near
the University. He is not very talkative, but when he does speak, the other
students tend to listen to him.
Maggie thinks there are many things wrong with
the University. She has ideas about changing the rules; for instance, she
rebels against doing homework and believes that being punished by detention is
wrong.
Some of her teachers think she is a troublemaker. Some of her
groupmates think she is loud and bossy; others think she is a very lively
person. Maggie's mother is a councilor so she is accustomed to hearing her
parents talk about important matters. She is intelligent, full of energy and
seems to have opinions about everything.
