3. personal appearance
Beginner
A: That girl looks very attractive, doesn’t she?
B: Do you think so? I don’t like girls who look like that. I like girls who are not
too slim. If you like her, go and talk to her.
A: I’d like to, but there’s her boyfriend. He’s very broad-shouldered.
B: He’s huge! He must go to the gym to have a well-built body like that.
A: Do you prefer tall girls or short ones?
B: I don’t mind, but I like girls with long hair.
A: We have different tastes. I like girls with short hair. I like tall girls-probably
because I’m so tall myself.
B: Have you ever dated a girl taller than you?
A: No, never. I don’t think I’ve ever met a girl taller than me! Have you gained
weight recently?
B: Yes, I have. Perhaps I should go to the gym, like that girl’s boyfriend.
A: I'm getting a bit plump myself. Perhaps I’ll go with you.
