Chapter 1 The meeting
A handsome/ beautiful and confident/shy young man with a fashionable/ unfashionable haircut
walked into a restaurant. An elderly/ enormous waiter was talking to a middle-aged/ young lady
with a slim figure. She looked very shy. A younger woman of medium height/ weight was standing
by the bar, looking serious. The young man walked up to her.
(2)
The way that people dress has changed a lot over the centuries, and clothes that were once
confident / selfish / fashionable can seem very strange just a few years later. Similarly, someone
who is the ideal weight / height / haircut in one period may seem too thin or too fat in another.
The idea of how a man should look if he is to be described as handsome / selfish / rude can
change. And even the way that people figure / behave / seriously, and how we feel about it, is
different from one period to another. For example, nineteenth century, young girls were expected
to be shy / male / keen and not speak unless someone spoke to them. Now, though, in many
countries they are expected to be much more elderly / confident / middle-aged — no different
from a boy, in fact.

Dear Saskia
I promised to tell you about our flat here. It's not bad really.
The bathroom is very small, but at least it's brand new / basic. The kitchen, though, is rather
rough /old-fashioned. There isn't even a fridge!
Luckily there's a broad / thick balcony and we can put the milk there at this time of year. We'll
need a fridge in summer though, when the equal / average temperature here is over 350C.
The landlord has a couple / few of other flats in this block and he says he'll put fridges in all of
them. I hope so!

This week's film choice
I’m sure you've seen all the fantastic articles / ads / stories for the film Ten Steps. It's about a
ank robber who wants to commit the perfect crime. This film is one of the best thrillers / soaps /
Video clips I've seen for a long time. The actor Mark Dempsey plays the main man / person /
Role perfectly. I asked the author / reporter / director of the film, Martina Helstrom, why she
ad chosen Dempsey. She said she knew he was the only actor in his early 20s who was capable
f a first-class performance / review / culture. Most of the film was made on the streets of Los
ngeles, not in the film company's cinema / factory / studio in Hollywood. Go and see it!

Dear Mum
How are you? How are things at home?
Well, it's Saturday and I've done one week at university. I'm so pleased I decided to do a degree /

didn't know how to use the computer in the library but someone strained / showed me what

professor.
