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
the colour of peaches and cream. If you have a (4)h nose, they will straighten it. If you
have (5)t lips you can learn to suck in your (6)c s to make them look (7)f .

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?'
