DESCRIBING PEOPLE

P = Peter M = Mary

P Gosh! All these people, and I don't know any of them!

M Don't worry! First things first. What would you like to drink?

P A glass of wine, please. Thank you. Could you tell me one or two names?

M Of course. Right. Can you see that man over there, sitting at the table? His name's Paul and he's really nice. He's a musician and he works in LA.

P Sorry, where?

M Los Angeles.

P Uh huh.

M And he's talking to Kathy. She's on the other side of the table. She's wearing a red and white T-shirt. Kathy's very interesting. She has an art gallery in London, she's incredible rich, and she lives in a beautiful house. Married, unfortunately for you.

P Yes.

M And then on Kathy's right there's Suzie. She's drinking some wine. She's one of my oldest friends. We were at school together.

P And what does she do?

M She's writer, actually.

P Oh! What does she write?

M She writes children stories. Not very successful ones, but never mind. Now, she's talking to Alex. Alex is smoking a cigar, and Alex travels all over the world. He's a film producer.

P And who are the children?

M They're Suzie's girls, Laura and Ellie. They go to St Mary's School. Do you know it?

P Yes, I do.

M And they're eating crisp and dropping them all over the carpet, aren't you?

Wonderful tonight by Eric Clapton

It's late in the evening

She's wondering what clothes to wear.

She puts on her make up,

Then brushes her long blond hair.

And then she ask me,

'Do I look all right?'

And I say 'Yes, You look wonderful tonight.'

We go to a party

And everyone turns to see

This beautiful lady

That's walking around with me.

And then she asks me,

'Do you feel all right?'

And I say 'Yes, I feel wonderful tonight.'

I feel wonderful

Because I see

The lovelight in your eyes.

And the wonder of it all

Is that you just don't realize

How much I love you.

It's time to go home now

And I've got an aching head.

So I give her the car keys,

She helps me to bed.

And then I tell her

As I turn out the light,

I say 'My darling, You were wonderful tonight.'

A Is it the right size?

B It's a bit too big.

A Is it the right size?

B Yes, it feels fine.
