Jane: Oh, he's very friendly, caring and funny.

Paul: What does he look like?

Jane: In fact, he is plump but handsome. He is fond of fishing.

Paul: What does your mother look like?

Jane: She is of medium height, thin and beautiful.

Paul: You really look like her. And what does your mom like or what is she interested in?

Jane: She is fond of jazz. You can book her a ticket for a jazz performance. I think she'll like it.
Paul: That's a great idea! What about your younger sister? What is she like?

Jane:Oh, she is an easygoing and careless teen. She is crazy about selfie!

Paul: Great! Then a new selfie stick can be a good present for her.

Jane: Oh, you are so sweet. I love you, Paul.

Mike: Hi, John. Can you do me a favor? (Ты можешь сделать мне одолжение?)

John: Sure.
M: Please, pick my brother up from the airport tomorrow at 11am.

J: No problem. What does he look like?

M: Well, he's tall and well-built. He is about 25. He is handsome. He has got dark long straight hair. He is a bard, you know.

J: You don't say (да ладно)! And what's he like?

M: Well, he's easygoing, with good sense of humor, but he's shy with people at first. Oh yeah, one more thing. What are the best places to take him to? You see, I will be at work till 6 p.m.

J: Ok, what does he like?

M: He's fond of poetry and nature. He really doesn't like big city life.

J: Look, I can take him to the Central Park. Birds, trees, sweethearts… Surely, he'll like it.

M: Great! Thanks, John. I owe you one (я твой должник).

Task 9. Read what people think of “An ideal man's/ woman's looks and personality”

Share your ideas in the written form.

ü He is tall: 185 cm is the ideal height for men. I don't really care for his hair color: blond with blue eyes or dark haired with green eyes. I like fair skin and fit body. He is calm and reliable.

ü My perfect man is outgoing, funny, but also knows when to be serious. He is always sincere with me. He likes to study and read -- in all, educate himself. I admire intelligent men! He is interested in cars and politics.

ü He is of medium height, well-built. He can always make me laugh. He is never rude to me. He dresses nicely and is courageous, determined, caring and reliable.

ü The main thing is that she is not stupid. She is an adult and knows it. She is intelligent and creative. Also she sees me as an equal, not as a leader. I like independent women.

ü She is 175 cm tall, thin, she's got long dark beautiful hair, and bright blue eyes. She has natural beauty, a girl who is more beautiful without makeup. She is sweet, sincere and has a good sense of humor. I don't like arrogant women.
