A blog is a website that gives information on a particular subject. It was obvious from Luke's body language that he was nervous. It can be done electronically over a computer network. Send me an e-mail when you have any news. Why couldn't they just tell him things face-to-face? We can use instant messaging to communicate in real time. I called her on the mobile phone but she didn't answer. The postal service is responsible for collecting and delivering mail. They are deaf but they speak sign language. A landline is a telephone line that travels through metal wires or optic fibres. I got a telegraph message today from Uncle Tom. She spends hours texting her friends.

How could she abandon her own child? Disappointed? No, actually I'm rather glad. Do you want to add your name to the list? Many people are allergic to eggs. They were arguing about how to spend the money. I love your Christmas decorations – they're very artistic. Their last concert was really awesome. Smoking is banned in the building. The size of the blogosphere has doubled according to blog analysis firms. His clothes looked brand new. A calf is the baby of a cow or of some other large animals.

Andy's doing a one-year journalism course. A crowd of reporters was waiting for her at the airport. Julia Roberts is really cute in her new movie. He has a daily radio show on Real Radio. I definitely need a holiday. Do you have a more detailed map of the area? I decided to keep a diary of our trip to Toronto. The wild population of koalas is in danger of dying out. What is the distance from New York to Miami? Download your favourite songs by clicking here. Who's your drama teacher? An ecologist is a scientist who studies ecology. He's still really enthusiastic about his new job. His father is an experienced pilot. Venice is a wonderful city to explore. Life isn't always fair. I think I'm falling in love with Tom. Air bags are a standard feature in most new cars. Simon! I haven't seen you for ages. We sat in the chairs that are set out in summer around a fountain. Like most of my generation, I had never known a war. I always find it hard to get down to studying. I've always got on well with Henry. He gave away as little information as possible. He guided us through the narrow streets. Did you hand your homework in on time? Tom is a smart, hard-working student. He's one of the hottest young directors in Hollywood. Chemical weapons are very dangerous. He was too far away to be able to identify faces. He disliked Kate intensely. Stress can interfere with children's performance at school. Your dream can be interpreted in many ways. I'll start off with a brief intro. In the introduction he explains why he wrote the book. I heard a noise and went downstairs to investigate. They talked about green issues such as the greenhouse effect and global warming. My parents have always been keen on travelling.

I met him when I worked in Madrid, and I've kept in touch with him ever since. It wasn't a very kind thing to say. You need to log on to your home page. You should get the doctor to look at that cut. Some animals get eaten after mating. I've got to go now, but I'll meet up with you later. I think we should try again using a different method. He was not certain whether the natives were friendly. Years after the accident I still have nightmares about it. Some interesting observations came from this research. One student performs the experiment, while his partner observes. All the city's schools will be online by the end of the year. Two-thirds of the pupils are of Asian origin. The building was originally used as a prison. Jamie is a friendly, outgoing woman. We've been pals since we were at school. I'm sure she'll write soon. Just try to be patient. Pheromones affect the way people and animals behave. Nick seemed very pleasant on the phone. Politics have always interested Anita. She's an excellent student and her parents are proud of her. They are publishing the dictionary on CD-ROM. The dragon disappeared in a puff of smoke. The baby's birth was registered this morning. She's doing a lot of research on child development. Residents of Westville complained about the town's bus system. But first, here's Tim with our Friday sports round-up. I like Pam – she has a really good sense of humour. We have similar tastes in music. Many jobs today require computer skills. The slave trade is the buying and selling of slaves. Native Americans used smoke signals to send messages. The country is facing serious social problems. Beans are a very good source of protein. Fire quickly spread through the building. I don't want a low-status job . The road became rocky and steep. I like his music – it's good stuff. Paul has strong opinions on most subjects.

This is the most poisonous substance known. I suppose you're right. Roger took up painting for a while, but soon lost interest. Chris is a naturally tidy person. The bus left a trail of black smoke behind it. A trunk is the very long nose of an elephant. It is uncommon for students to have expensive cars. An unknown number of people were killed. It might take a while for this to upload. They had to drink their own urine to survive. The book is full of useful information. Don't ask Tim to fix it. He's completely useless. The website allows you to take a virtual tour of the art gallery. A dog wags its tail in order to show friendliness and pleasure. I'm giving you a final warning – don't be late again. He's a well-known TV presenter. Adam whistled happily on his way to work. The Wild West is the western part of the US in the 19th century.

I didn't have time to read the article. What does my horoscope for next week say? The magazine also contains a problem page. Complete the questionnaire as soon as possible.

Have you discussed birth control with your daughter? The plane blew up in mid-air. Fortunately the house was empty when the bomb exploded. The new resort area has boosted tourism. Brand names are well-known all over the world. Three men have broken out of a top security jail. The ship is carrying a cargo of oil. We store most things in the cellar. Kashmir is claimed by both India and Pakistan. I've been trying to convince Jean to come with me. He works for a large American corporation. Our correspondent in South Africa sent this report. Shirley and Bob are a young married couple with two small children. I managed to find a seat on the upper deck. He was visiting his parents in Torino when war was declared. Deodorants stop you from smelling bad. She felt lonely and depressed. Our parents are easy-going, and they don't mind if we stay out late. Police are making enquiries into the bank robbery. Police are looking for the escaped prisoner. King Charles I was executed on 30th January 1649. He went on an expedition to the North Pole. He's an expert in French history. Bill's not afraid to express his opinions. The bomb was planted by extremists. I failed my driving test the first time I took it. Sorry, but I don't fancy going out tonight. A wooden fence surrounded the house. A fig is a soft sweet fruit with a lot of small seeds. The escape attempt was foiled by police guards. Make sure that the back gate is locked, please. A general is an officer in the army or air force. I first got into jazz when I was at college. Why don't you give up smoking?

They use gunpowder in bombs and fireworks. Early in August a heatwave hit. It wasn't me, honestly! A hurricane is a violent storm with extremely strong winds. If I hear about a website that sounds interesting, I check it out. We cannot ignore the problem. I know Ben very well. In fact, we're best friends. Could we include Mary in the game? Having a job gives you independence. Copenhagen has about 1.4 million inhabitants. The Romans invaded Britain 2000 years ago. Each lesson lasts an hour. The fire was reported in the local newspaper. I don't usually wear much make-up. They have a very happy marriage. He has lots of happy memories of his stay in Japan. She's still thinking about her next move. Robberies and muggings are common in the area. The children ran naked through the yard. I liked the job, but the manager was a jerk. 'We haven't done very well, have we?' 'Never mind. At least we tried.' We're obviously going to need more help. On average, men still earn more than women. The island was packed with tourists. A home near the sea is my idea of paradise. They wanted a free parliament and press. I don't like this particular type of food. We had a peaceful afternoon without the children. It's a pity that he didn't get the job. The plot was quickly discovered, and five men were arrested. They had plotted to blow up the White House. The company has got a strict no-smoking policy. The Green Party held a press conference the next day. I'm allergic to dairy products.

People are interested in reading about royal families. Queen Victoria ruled England for 64 years. Planes take off from runways. Everyone rushed out into the street to see what was happening. There are strict security checks on everyone entering the building. Sports should build a child's self-esteem. An old servant opened the door. For me, music is a great source of enjoyment. Ms Brown, a company spokeswoman, spoke to reporters after the meeting. I'd like to welcome a new member of staff. The doctor suggested taking an aspirin. Her suicide shocked everyone in the family. They brought the suspected burglar to the police station. The plane taxied to a halt. In mathematics, we use many techniques of problem-solving. He was terrified to stay home alone. There was a look of terror on his face. Twenty people were killed in the latest terrorist attack. Almost all tinned foods contain sugar. Your bag weighs a ton! Several of the prisoners said that they had been tortured. Both sisters died in a tragic car accident. What? Amber didn't show up again? Typical. They made their way through the thick vegetation in the valley. We used to get information about them from the villagers. That's a wonderfully wacky idea.

We live in a block of flats in the centre of the city. He and his wife lived in a modern bungalow. We're staying in a holiday cottage in Dorset. A detached house is not joined to another building. We travelled a lot on weekends in a mobile home. A semi-detached house is joined to another house on one side. A terraced house is part of a row of houses that are joined together. Stacy works downtown. We talked about the problems of inner city schools. My family moved to the suburbs when I was ten. There aren't many jobs for young people in rural areas. They've built a new sports facility. Can you get me a newspaper from the corner shop? On Fridays there is usually a disco at the youth club.

He accepted the invitation to stay with us. Everything went according to plan. Chris is an aggressive driver. My ancestors were French. The school trip has become an annual event. Have you arranged to meet Mark this weekend? Only 12 people attended the meeting. Mr Harris, the manager, has the authority to hire and fire players. Bagpipe music is played especially in Scotland. They were carrying anti-war banners. A banquet is a formal dinner. Her son was killed in battle. Bell-bottoms are trousers with legs that get wider from the knee to the bottom. She spoke bravely in front of all those people. It was starting to rain, so the three of us sat in a bus shelter. By the way, have you seen my keys anywhere? The only thing he seems to care about is money. We carried out her instructions precisely. I just love carved wooden chairs. The carvings on the wall were centuries old. The wedding ceremony was held in the park. We need our schools to teach students to be good citizens.

We're going into town – do you want to come along? He sent a letter to the council to complain about the noise. Write to your local councillor to complain. We moved here because there was very little crime. In our culture, it is rude to ask someone how much they earn. It's hard to believe that a tree can develop from a small seed. A lot of young people start taking drugs at school. These berries are edible, but those are poisonous. The early evening edition of Scotland Today comes out at 3. Where's the main entrance to the school? The exhibition of works by Hans Memling opens next week. Look at that figure in the background of the painting. A seven-year-old brought her twin to Liz for first aid. I like wearing plain T-shirts and flared jeans. She tried to focus her mind on her work. Our main focus is on helping people get back to work. Her former husband now lives in Houston. Eton College was founded by Henry VI in 1440. The movie was kind of freaky. They didn't go to their grandfather's funeral because they were abroad.

I enjoy going to museums and art galleries. They announced their engagement at a family gathering . The band are doing a gig in Sheffield on Nov 12. Sue grew into a lovely young woman. She works with handicapped teenagers. I hung around the station for an hour but he never came. I love highland dancing and music. This year's conference will be held at the Hilton Hotel. A hoodie is a type of jacket with a hood. All the money raised by the concert will go to charity. Who's the police chief? I spent the afternoon chilling out in front of the TV. It was a supper to celebrate the christening of their new baby. Nobody knows the identity of the thief. I got the impression that they don't want us there.

You could use the money to improve your home. There's been a big improvement in the children's behaviour. It was very inconsiderate of you to keep us waiting. Individuals get more attention in small classes. You should never judge a person by their looks. Scottish men traditionally wear thick skirts called kilts. Snow showers are likely tomorrow. These streets are full of litter. They walked into a bar looking for trouble. Look the word up in your dictionary. She looked magnificent in a long red dress. We talked about various things – work, mainly. If we run, we should make it. There will be a service at the war memorial at 7 pm on Saturday. He talked about events in the Middle Ages as if they'd happened yesterday. Her mission was to send them all the information she could get. The temperature is carefully monitored. He joined the movement for independence right away. I'm saving this bottle of champagne for a special occasion. Students need to learn how to organise their work. He passed on much of his fortune to his daughter. You can't park your car on the pavement. Who gave him permission to leave class early? The factory pollutes the air and water. Pollution from cars is the main cause of global warming. We went to the pub and played pool. India has a population of more than 1 billion. The protection of the environment concerns us all. Could you tell me where the public telephones are? One summer the children put on a play. They're putting up several new blocks of flats in the centre of town. They are raising money to help needy old people. I'd rather have a quiet night in front of the TV. I didn't recognize you in your uniform. I asked Clive where he was going, but he didn't reply. They finished the restoration of the building last week. My brother Tim is a boy scout. There was a lot of work involved in setting up the festival. Jordan started up a band of his own.

About 400 students took part in the festival. I saw her sitting there, in her green tartan dress. The total cost was far higher than we had expected. It is traditional not to eat meat on Good Friday. The valley is inhabited by the Dani tribe. Did you see that troop of monkeys? Steve turned up late, as usual. I don't want to be unfair but I believe she behaved really badly. Most of the islands in Clear Bay are uninhabited. There are various ways to answer your question. We must all help the victims of the earthquake. She does a lot of voluntary work for the Red Cross. I need some volunteers to help with the washing-up. A really weird thing happened last night. He'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Under their wigs their heads are shaven. He has sold millions of books worldwide. A dozen yobs stood outside the school.

Some managers earn annual salaries of over £80,000. Some companies pay higher wages than others. I'd like to open a bank account. You have to pay in cash – they don't accept cheques. Toss a coin to see who goes first. A bank note is a piece of paper money. You can pay your bills using a cheque book. We accept all major credit cards. When you use a debit card the money is taken directly from your bank account. A cash card is a special plastic card used for getting money from a machine outside a bank.

The price for the holiday includes flights and accommodation. My father always led a very active life. His work will include much personal advisory work with students. The hurricane affected the whole area. We can't afford to go on vacation this year. Have you any alternative suggestions? Rome is famous for its ancient monuments. I think you should apologise to your brother. The house was sold at auction. An auctioneer is in charge of selling the things at an auction. Art experts have questioned the painting's authenticity. I won a shirt that had been autographed by the whole team. Last winter was colder than the average winter. I had to barter with the locals for food. Thousands died on the battlefields of northern France. Eric's new car is a real beauty. I bet you wish you'd arrived earlier. Could you tell me where to apply for a full birth certificate? These statues were made of bronze. He wore a belt with a large silver buckle. Cavemen were people who lived in caves thousands of years ago. Uncle Jim is a stamp collector. Alan didn't want to leave the warmth and comfort of the fire. The house was in a terrible condition. The socket allows a connection to a PC. Most of the gallery's contents were damaged in the fire. Copper is used to make electrical wires. Most new cars are bought on credit. He and his wife were planning to go on a world cruise. A customer came in and bought several jackets. He had enough money to pay off his debts. The curtains are only decorative – they do not open or close. A delicatessen is a shop that sells high quality foods. The tower was designed by George Gilbert Scott. The theatre has good access for the disabled. I drove around the business district. Lots of people volunteer to donate blood. Mary has dry, sensitive skin. Few reporters dared to enter the war zone. Martin lives in a small village near the equator.

We exchange gifts at Christmas. She wears fake jewellery because she's afraid of being robbed. The drugs made her hair fall out. The money will be used to repair faulty equipment. A bird's feathers are the soft covering on its body. Sometimes they have to chop down a tree for firewood. I found a wonderful old bag in the flea market. It's a clever little gadget which you can use to cut vegetables into attractive shapes. He should have been given the boot years ago. Unemployment is a problem that many Western governments continue to face. A guesthouse is a type of hotel. He usually wears headphones to listen to his tapes. I've hiked the canyon four times. We visited many places of historical interest. We give food and blankets to the homeless on the streets of London.

We use chalk for writing or drawing. I like the challenge of learning new things. 'I'm Robyn,' she said with a cheerful smile. Who does all the everyday chores like shopping and housework? They decided to inform the police. The huge gate was made of iron. An islander is someone who lives on an island. A jockey is someone who rides horses in races. My sister is really interested in canoeing and kayaking. Children are the main victims of landmines. Lemurs look like monkeys and have long thick tails. I'm really looking forward to our holiday. We stayed in five-star luxury at the Palace Hotel. Could I have six metres of that curtain material? A mine is a bomb hidden under the ground or underwater. The town is a mixture of the old and the new. Do you think the police will ever catch her murderer? We followed the narrow path that led to the beach. Stephen King's new novel will go on sale next week. We don't have that book in stock, but we can order it for you. He has parted from his wife. My sister got a part-time job as a shop assistant. We couldn't see the mountain peak because of the fog.

Why not do something to personalise your office? She is young and physically fit. We visited the picturesque fishing village of Lochinver. His mother came in carrying a pile of clothes in her arms. Millions of people live in poverty. This factory produces 100 cars per hour. None of our products are tested on animals. I now pronounce you man and wife. The hotel provides a shoe-cleaning service for guests. The match has been put off until tomorrow because of bad weather. The glass is of good quality. Are you questioning what I'm saying? Keep your receipt in case you want to bring it back. They had to re-examine the witness. They refused to give me a refund. Do you do any regular exercise? Our old car is badly in need of replacement. I tried calling, but there was no reply. They refused to send a representative to the talks in Geneva. Lots of accidents are the result of driving too fast. Both my parents are retired now. It's rude to interrupt people when they are speaking. The service was terrible and so was the food. The children were collecting shells on the beach. He had been shot in the back while trying to escape. Does this drug have any side effects? Lynn's daughter is only slightly older than mine. Richard took off his slippers and put on his black shoes again. Snow-capped mountains are covered in snow at the top. I'm afraid there aren't any easy solutions to this problem. The children played in the sand with buckets and spades. 'The Star' started out as a small weekly newspaper. Your thigh is the top part of your leg, between your knee and your hip.

We parked the truck just past Wino Tank and began hiking up the canyon. You will need a map and a compass to find your way out. For young children, getting dressed is a complicated business. Who are the constructors of this building? Consumers have a right to know what they are buying. The thieves stole a purse containing banknotes. There has been huge controversy over the judge's decision. The plane changed course to avoid the storm. The jogging craze began in the 1970s. Up to 1.2 million cubic metres are expected to be used this year. When she finished speaking, the applause was deafening. Our flight was delayed by bad weather. The jungle is so dense you cannot walk through it. Girls receive less health care and less education in the developing world than boys. Cigarette smoking causes death and disease. Smoking is a really disgusting habit. The category of "mammals" contains creatures as diverse as whales, elephants, and human beings. Your birth certificate is an important document and you must keep it safe. The movie starts with a dramatic car chase across the desert. The rainforest is a self-supporting ecosystem. Service at the restaurant is efficient and friendly. An emperor is a man who rules an empire. The lizards are classed as an endangered species. Their house is enormous – it's got 24 bedrooms. Some of these chemicals are very damaging to the environment. Children need to experience things for themselves in order to learn from them.

A galleon was a sailing ship used mainly by the Spanish from the 15th to the 17th century. We had to use public transport to get around. Why don't you get those wet clothes off? A glacier is a large mass of ice which moves slowly down a mountain valley. Computers have gone down in price. It is well worth doing the five-hour walk along the bottom of the gorge.

The grassland is an important habitat for many wild flowers. About 7000 yachts had been in the harbour for days. We use a cedar chest to keep wool blankets in. I'd like some iced tea, please. I believe this is an ideal place for a walk. There are very few pandas living in the wild now. Raising money for the homeless has been incredibly difficult. The investigation continued for nearly three years. Chris is a keen photographer – he's won several competitions. The trees and the mountains made the landscape more beautiful. The roof is leaking. According to the legend, the whole castle was washed into the sea. She screamed as the boiling liquid burned her skin. The business is located right in the centre of town. Insects are made up of tens of thousands of proteins. A mangrove is a tropical tree that grows in or near water and grows new roots from its branches. A mania for a game called Nibs ran through the school. The car was manufactured in Germany until 1961. Marshes are areas of low flat ground that are always wet and soft. Next morning, the whole town was covered in mist. Monks usually live in monasteries. Young eagles leave the nest after only two months. We got some non-alcoholic wine for Lisa because she doesn't drink.

Have you noticed any change in him? The obvious way of reducing pollution is to use cars less. Occasionally Alice would look up from her books. Oil tankers are large ships that carry oil. There are 12 children on board the ship. Her doctor had ordered her to rest for a week.

It's an organisation which helps disabled people with their transport needs. The price of home ownership is increasing. Are we allowed to bring our partners to the staff party? Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. The house is part of local history and should be preserved. I'm pretty sure he'll say yes. Japan is the biggest producer of stereo equipment. The dog would not have attacked if it hadn't been provoked. Our burgers are made of 100% pure beef. On the river, Val and the boys did whitewater rafting. It is very rare for her to miss a day at school. The reason I called was to ask about the plans for Saturday. They offer a reward for the recovery of the stolen painting. Herbs have been used for centuries to make refreshing drinks. He revealed that he had been in prison twice before. Monks in saffron-coloured robes were everywhere. We finished with mugs of hot tea from the samovar on the table. I'd like to see some samples of your work. Divers discovered a 450-year-old shipwreck near here. There is a shortage of nurses and doctors in this area. As he reached the front door he saw a strange sight. The kids watched as the coin sank to the bottom of the pool. Scientists have discovered a new species of eucalyptus tree. The view from the top floor is absolutely spectacular. An oil spill can seriously damage wildlife. The spray from the falls is so dense that you can hardly see. Steam the vegetables lightly. In the evening the wind became stronger and soon a great storm broke above us. Row after row of orange trees stretched to the horizon. A snowball struck him on the back of the head. If you drink some water it will make the pills easier to swallow. Elephants were often to be found in swamps in eastern Kenya around the Tana River. When you see bee swarms, you'd better take cover. About 400 students took part in the competition. The water tank is leaking. I washed my hands under the kitchen tap. Why is airline food always so tasteless? People are angry that the tax on petrol has gone up again.

Your threats don't scare me. Guns roared and thundered all around us. Nobody ever found the buried treasure. Maria's going to trek through the Himalayas this year.

The upper floors were private flats. Don't lose this ring – it's very valuable. I really like the variety the store has to offer. The vessel is about 30 miles off the Baja California coast, in international waters. A warship is a ship with guns that is used in a war. Angel Falls is the world's highest waterfall. Weak tea contains a lot of water and has little taste. My brother often goes whitewater canoeing. He's a world-class tennis champion. Divers discovered the wreck of an old German warship.

Some parts of tropical America have seen over 70% deforestation. Central Africa is suffering one of the worst droughts of the century. It's important to save energy as much as possible. We need to change that light bulb. The village was cut off by floods. We mainly use fossil fuels to heat our houses. Global warming is the gradual rise in the Earth's temperature. Greenhouse gases make the air warmer. Brownies are a hybrid – part fudge, part cake. Organic farming is better for the environment. Recycling is important to help protect our environment. The problem with fossil fuels is that they are not renewable. Solar energy uses the power of the sun. In wind farms, the power of the wind is used to produce electricity.

The census of the towns gave a total of just under 300,000 people. Email us if you need further clarification on how to order. Could you clarify one or two points for me? Compulsive shoppers often never even open the goods they buy. It was his guilty conscience that made him offer to help. Police had to be called in to control the crowds. You need to cut the amount of fat and sugar in your diet. You can get some good deals on the internet. They've got a house with a decent-sized garden. We soon found that prices differed enormously. A good secretary needs to be efficient, and above all, diplomatic. A disastrous fire destroyed much of the city in the early 1900s. That washing machine doesn't work. It's been disconnected. Do you get a discount if you pay in cash? Wood is a durable material. She's interested in the natural history and ecology of the sea shore. A country's economy is the wealth that it gets from business and industry. Are electric blankets safe to use? Thieves stole all the video equipment from the college. Homeworkers can easily be exploited by employers. Fair trade is the practice of buying goods directly from producers in developing countries at a fair price. It was a wonderful film, but not exactly a financial success. The heavy rain has led to serious flooding in some areas. The village was cut off by floods. Something had got hold of her feet and was trying to pull them. Gradually, my ankle got better. We need to develop greener cleaning products. Britain grows 6,000,000 tonnes of potatoes a year. A good education doesn't guarantee a good job. He decided to join the guerrilla forces. All our goods are handmade, and we use only natural materials.

These countries are a source of cheap labour. A thick layer of dust lay on the furniture. He was leaning on the bridge, watching the boats go by. Do you want a lift into town? His costume had the Superman logo across the chest. There wasn't much about the event in the media. She was murdered before she could call for help. Drivers often have a nasty habit of driving too close to cyclists. Liddy was offended by such a personal question. More than 30% of the cost of our food goes on packaging. Stories about hard times teach the value of perseverance and hard work. You should avoid spraying your plants with pesticides. His son built a stone wall high enough to keep the poachers out. He killed several people by poisoning their tea. Clearly this is a potentially dangerous situation. Is this radio battery-powered only? Farming is reducing the rain forest by 1.5% of its area annually. Herbs provide a range of aromas and flavours for cooking. Plastic bottles can be recycled into clothing. Survivors of the crash were rescued by helicopter. The country's rich in natural resources. These bottles are re-usable. Sales rose by 20% over the Christmas period. We've run out of milk. Could you get some from the supermarket? Shopaholics often buy many things that they don't really need. Her skin felt smooth and cool. There was very little snowfall last year. Solar panels collect and use the sun's energy to heat water or make electricity. To sum up, for a healthy heart you must take regular exercise and stop smoking.

I want a long-sleeved dress in case it gets cold later. He wears short-sleeved shirts to work because the office is warm. She wears sleeveless T-shirts to show off her arms. A polo-neck is a sweater with a high collar that folds down and fits closely around the neck. A V-neck sweater has an opening for the neck shaped like the letter V.

I met an old friend by chance on the train. They have been campaigning to improve the status of women. He was wearing a browny beige cardigan. Like his father, Tommy chose a career in the Army. The area does not consist entirely of rich people. In those days women wore corsets. Sue showed great courage throughout her illness. I'd just returned from covering the Cambodian war. The dress is a stunning creation in green, gold and white. Police have described the man as a dangerous criminal. Couples strolled in the afternoon sunshine, the ladies in crinolines, the men in three-piece suits. I just love cut-away jeans. Don't worry, I'll deal with this problem. I've been at the top in television for a decade. You can depend on Jane – she always keeps her promises. Life is never dull when Elizabeth is here. She's dyed her hair red. Dozens of eggs were boiled in bright red dye. Nick examined the elaborate carvings on the door. An elegant young woman sat at the next table. Do you know where the Italian Embassy is in Paris? She always listens to ethnic music. There is too much evil in the world. Graham Greene had exceptional talents as a story-teller.

She has made remarkable progress. Everyone should have the right to freedom of expression. They ran away together to get married. I prefer this bright shade of pink. Shades is a fashionable term for sunglasses. I didn't have time to shave my legs. He had a leather jacket and short, spiky hair. Although Laurie is dead, I can feel his spirit with me. Someone who is sporty likes sport and is good at it. I'm suffering from a bad back. Jill's new hairstyle doesn't really suit her. The dove is a symbol of peace. She's got a heart tattooed on her right shoulder. What colour should I paint my toenails? I can't find my pyjama top. He was physically unattractive. He got out of the car and looked underneath. The skirt was too big around the waist. Stella's family is well-off.

Dana won the gold medal in the javelin. I hurt my foot in the last round of the long jump. Weightlifting is the sport of lifting specially shaped pieces of metal that weigh an exact amount. We're watching the racing on television. Garcia ran the marathon in just under three hours. There are many competitions in rowing, swimming and water skiing. Graf's opponent in today's final will be Sukova. The boxing match will be held at the Arena. Fencing is the sport of fighting with a long thin sword. Sumo wrestling originated in Japan. During the summer term we would play cricket at the village ground. Its ice hockey team is one of the best in the country.

My mum's started going to an aerobics class. Frances achieved very good exam results. An alarming number of young girls are worried about their weight. I'm not likely to run out of money, but all the same, I'm careful. You'll get the results when the analysis is complete. Apart from the ending, it's a really good film. The city is planning to build a new sports arena. In the summer, athletics, cricket and tennis take over from the winter sports. There have been several attacks on foreigners recently. What attracted me most to the job was the chance to travel. He walked barefoot across the sand. Brazil were beaten 2–1 by Scotland. Mike's brother is the captain of the football team. Our chess club really needs new members. She's the coach of the volleyball team. A colourful character is someone who is interesting and unusual. A sports commentator describes an event as it is happening. Two of the competitors failed to turn up for the race. She congratulated me warmly on my exam results. His ideas are very controversial. Cosmetics are creams, powders etc that you use on your face and body in order to look more attractive. Bars in Madrid offer more, and better, food than their American counterparts. You must learn to accept criticism. Kings and Queens used to wear crowns on their heads. Dieticians give people advice about what it is healthy for them to eat and drink. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but there aren't any tickets left. Clothes and blankets have been distributed among the homeless. You shouldn't allow your job to dominate your life like that.

Several athletes failed a doping test after taking drugs. The match ended in a draw. Bill dropped out of college after his first year. I think you've earned a rest. Lou lifted the box easily, without using much effort. The funeral was a very emotional experience for all of us. She entertained the children with stories, songs and drama. An oil spill can cause a lot of environmental damage. The school has evolved its own style of teaching. The first train to come along was an express. My mother was an extraordinary woman. Victor's facial expression didn't change. That building over there is a shoe factory. She held the money tightly in her fist. Join a health club to improve your fitness. The thieves got away with jewellery worth over £50,000. Can you give the drinks out, please? She dreamt of future glory as an Olympic champion. She went on to become a successful doctor.

Franklin gave a memorable performance at last year's festival. You've got to be more positive about your work. No one can predict which team will win. The Premier League is the top group of professional football clubs in England and Wales. Professional basketball players can earn huge sums of money. She and her family agreed never to discuss the matter publicly. He punched Jack in the face. Liverpool beat Porto 2–0 in the quarter-final. As a student, he broke the Scottish record for the 100 metres. The referee should never have allowed the first goal. I now regret leaving school so young.

Detectives are now at the crime scene, searching for clues. There's been a series of kidnappings in the area. What do you suppose the killer's motive was? Most of the thefts occurred during the weekend. I'm a detective with the Bristol police. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions? His kidnappers have threatened to kill him. Do you think the police will ever catch her murderer? A 32-year-old man from London is the main suspect in the murder investigation. Thieves broke into the offices and stole £150,000 worth of computer equipment. Police are now using DNA testing in an attempt to track down the killer.

Both brothers followed the family tradition and became doctors. The statue was transported to London. Workers were trapped in the ship's engine room by the fire. It was a town built on a sandy, treeless area. His nose was a small triangle on his wide face. I don't believe in UFOs or strange creatures from other planets. The astronauts began their journey into the unknown. Vast areas of the Amazon rainforest have been destroyed. Many oceanic islands are volcanic. It's an active volcano – it can explode at any time.
