Listening 1 People are describing their friends. What qualities are they talking about? Listen and circle the correct answer.
1. I really like Allison. She's such fun to be with. She always makes me laugh. Did she tell you the story about her first day of school? I don't think I've laughed so hard in my whole life! 2. I went out with this guy a couple of times, Ted Roberts. Maybe you know him. He's okay, I guess, but the guy's got no future. i think he just wants to spend the rest of his life surfing at the beach. 3. Tony Lee asked me out the other night, and I said no. You know, he is really embarrassing to be with. Last time I went out to a party with him, he nearly got into a fight with someone. And then he wouldn't leave the party, even after everyone else left. 4. I've been out with Sandra Bronstein twice. She's really an interesting person. I didn't realize her father is a pretty well-known artist and her mother is a successful stockbroker. I'd really like to meet her parents sometime. 5. Do you know Rod, the guy in our Spanish class? Anyway, he's invited me out on a date. You know the guy I mean-he's kind of thin, very tall, with long curly hair. And he's got those dark brown eyes. Just my type! 6. I was stuck sitting next to Martha at a dinner party the other evening. No matter what I said or did, I couldn't get her to laugh. I wonder why she is so terribly serious.

B: I'd really like to see it, but I was planning to watch soccer on TV that day. 2. A: Hey, this sounds interesting. You get to see how all sorts of unusual foods are prepared, and you get to try different dishes, too. They have chefs from Japan and India, from China, from Mexico, and from Italy, too. What do you think? B: Well, it does sound interesting, but I can't. I've just started a new diet, so I can't eat too much. 3. A: Let's go and see this. I love these kinds of events.
