B. Use adjectives from those listed above to complete these descriptions. 1. He used to be quite good-looking when he was (1)y . He was (2)t and
(3)s - he looked so elegant in evening dress. He used to play a lot of games then, so
he was (4)t from spending so much time in the open air, and of course he was
powerfully-built, (5)m and (6)b -s . He had a mass of (7)c hair and like
most (8)r -h people, a pleasant, (9)f face, with a funny little (10)s
nose, and (11)f lips, as if he wanted to kiss you. I'm afraid you wouldn't recognise
him now! He's only (12)m - a but he looks about 60! Of course when men lose
their hair and go (13)b , it always adds years to their real age, but his face is lined
and (14)w now, and since he gave up sport, he has put on a lot of weight, so he's
rather (15)f . Apart from that, sitting in that office all day has given him a (16)p ,
unhealthy complexion. Even his lips look (17)t now; I expect he's got false teeth.
2. The cosmetics firms spend their time trying to get people to change their appearance.
If girls are dark-haired, they persuade them to dye their hair and become (1)b . If their
hair is straight, they will make it 'naturally' (2)w . They can make (3)s complexions

It's the same for men nowadays. You can go to clinics where they will stop you from
going (8)b . You can exercise to become (9)b -shouldered. And with a lamp you
can become (10)t without going outdoors.
But the biggest craze these days is that all girls must be (11)s . In Grandfather's
day, men liked women to be (12)p ; their idea of a good figure was different. But now,
if I looked like that, Jack would say: 'You're getting (13)f . Why don't you go on a diet?'

1. He used to be quite good-looking when he was young. He was tall and slim - he looked so elegant in evening dress. He used to play a lot of games then, so he was tan from spending so much time in the open air, and of course he was muscular, muscular and broad-shouldered. He had a mass of curly hair and like most red-haired people, a pleasant, freckled face, with a funny little snub nose, and full lips, as if he wanted to kiss you. I'm afraid you wouldn't recognize him now! He's only middle-aged but he looks about 60! Of course when men lose their hair and go bald, it always adds years to their real age, but his face is lined and wrinkled now, and since he gave up sport, he has put on a lot of weight, so he's rather fat. Apart from that, sitting in that office all day has given him a pale, unhealthy complexion. Even his lips look pale now; I expect he's got false teeth.

2. The cosmetics firms spend their time trying to get people to change their appearance. If girls are dark-haired, they persuade them to dye their hair and become blondes. If their hair is straight, they will make it 'naturally' wavy. They can make pale complexions the color of peaches and cream. If you have a hooked nose, they will straighten it. If you have thin lips you can learn to suck in your cheeks to make them look fuller.

It's the same for men nowadays. You can go to clinics where they will stop you from going bald. You can exercise to become broad-shouldered. And with a lamp, you can become tan without going outdoors.

But the biggest craze these days is that all girls must be slim. In Grandfather's day, men liked women to be plump; their idea of a good figure was different. But now, if I looked like that, Jack would say: 'You're getting fat. Why don't you go on a diet?'
