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 grеy. 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 plump. 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.

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,because he finds 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 was quite happy at school and did not seem to have any strong opinions about how things could be changed. He gets on well with his parents though he frequently quarrels with his younger sisters. Jane plays basketball for the university team , and she is very popular with her fellow students. She has a lively personality and a sense of humour. Her teachers like her but they often complain about her unpunctuality as Jane sometimes is late for lectures and seminars. 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 to behave and what to wear at the university. But when she is at home 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 English. He is a friendly person but perhaps does not make friends as easily as other students. Whatever he gives his mind on, he does it 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 speaks, other students listen to him with great interest. 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 lawyer 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. TASKS TO THE TEXT 1.
