Oh!The lady looks glamorous.

Tape script:1. Male 1 ： I guess some of the most magnificent man-

made things are suspension bridges. They have lovely, clean lines and impressive, high, horizontal towers, don’t you think? I mean, they can be things of great beauty.

Female 1: Mm, definitely… I know this bridge in the photo. The views from the top are just magnificent- I can tell you. You can see the countryside on each side which is really picturesque and scenic. And when the sun sets behind the bridge, it looks so incredible. Absolutely breathtaking.

2. Male 2: I think it’s a brilliant painting. It’s got a powerful mixture of colors: with the black of the man’s hair and the hat that frames his face with the pale colors of the sky behind. And the red of the man’s sleeve is lovely too. The composition of the painting is absolutely perfect. I think it’s beautiful, a real masterpiece.

Tape script: Female 2: Yeah, I agree with you. And the man’s very inte

resting too-he is not handsome in a typical way but he’s very good-looking. There is something very attractive about his eyes and the way he looks. Gorgeous!

3. Male 3: I really love the way she dances. She’s so graceful and elegant. And she makes dancing look so easy, doesn’t she? Almost effortless.

Female 3: I think she’s very attractive, really gorgeous. She is not pretty in the Hollywood sense. But she’s very striking and elegant, quite stunning really. For me, she’s beautiful.
