Question

Listen to six short conversations about clothes and style. Match each conversation (1-6) to one of the sentences. There is one sentence you do not need.

Answer

  • Conversation 1 → d (you were a bit of a rock god = past tense, did you spray those on, even in those days)
  • Conversation 2 → a (dress split down the seam, it ended up being a bit more revealing than I wanted it to be!)
  • Conversation 3 → e (smarten up a bit, clients ... expect something a bit more conventional)
  • Conversation 4 → g (look at her outfit, not a trend I like. The general way of talking is not what you would say directly to a person – her legs look as if they’d snap in two.)
  • Conversation 5 → c (not interested in my dress sense, I’ll be in a lab all day if I get it, don’t want you tripping over when you walk in the room)
  • Conversation 6 → b (I just fancied a change, you can have it in a ponytail ... I was a bit sick of it)
