A: I just ran into Mary. Wow! She's really changed!
B: Really?
A: Oh, yeah. She used to look really wild. Remember, with all that big hair and makeup? And that leather jacket?
B: Sure. I remember.
A: Well, that's all gone. Now she wears plain, conservative blouses, and her hair is much neater.
B: Weird. Do you know why she changed?
A: Yeah. She just finished college and is looking for a job, so wanted a different look.
2.
A: Beth's dressing differently these days.
B: Oh, really?
A: Yeah. I think it's a change for the better. She used to wear unflattering suits all the time. They were always too big for her.
B: Yeah, I thought the same thing.
A: Now she's wearing fantastic fitted suits in bright colors. My favorite is her red suit.
B: So, why the change?
A: She was on one of those makeover reality shows! They gave her advice on how to dress, and gave her $10,000 to buy new clothes!
3.
A: Have you seen Jake lately?
B: No. Why?
A: Well, he's really changed his look. He used to have that preppy look—you know, the khaki pants and shirts with collars. And short hair.
B: And now?
A: Now he's got long hair, and wears it in a ponytail. And he always wears dark clothes.
B: Interesting. What made him change?
A: He got a new job at an Internet company, and the atmosphere there is really casual. Apparently, everyone wears jeans to work every day.
4.
A: David's really changed the way he looks.
B: Really?
A: Yeah. I never thought I'd see him dressing the way he does now—the blue jeans, the gold necklaces... He's even wearing his shirts unbuttoned.
B: No way!
A: It's true. He used to wear suits and ties all the time, but not anymore.
B: What happened?
A: I heard he broke up with his girlfriend.
5.
A: I think Karen looked a lot better before she changed her look.
B: Hmm. What do you mean?
A: Well, first of all, she cut her gorgeous long hair. And now she dresses completely differently. She used to always look casual but professional. But now she always wears really conservative suits.
B: Why did she change?
A: She had to. She got a big promotion at work, and she meets with clients all the time now.
6.
A: Have you seen Steve Jones since he graduated from college? He looks so different.
B: Really? How?
A: He wears a suit and tie every day.
B: You're kidding!
A: I know. It's strange. In college, he was always wearing his old jeans and a denim shirt. He looked so relaxed all the time.
B: What made him change?
A: He got a job at a bank, so he has to look professional. |
