缅因英语口语 第 3 课：personal appearance 相貌 - 2

A: let's play a little game. I'll describe someone and you try and guess who it is.

B: ok. I'm really bored at the moment.

A: ok. This man is tall and slim. He's got blue eyes and curly 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. She's not very tall and she's quite plump. She's got blonder hair, but I don't know what color her eyes are.

A: is she attractive? I don't think I know anyone like that.

B: Well,I don't find him attractive. but I'm sure you will disagree.

A: I like slim girls, so I doubt I would find a plump girl attractive. You'll have to give me some more information.

B: she's got tiny feet and wears really unfashionable shoes. In fact, she wears unfashionable clothes too.

A: this doesn't sound like anyone I know. I give up. Teel me who she is.

B; she's your mother!

A: how embarrassing! I don't even recognize a description of my own mother!
How important do you think appearance is ?

B: I think that unfortunately it's more important than a person's character. Advertising and stuff tells us that we have to be attractive. I think it's wrong, but that's the way the world is now.

B: I'm afraid you're right. I chose my girlfriend because she has a wonderful personality.

A: well, you certainly didn't choose her because of her looks! Hey, I was joking! Don't hit me!
