She started to laugh – it was a good joke – and accidentally spilled her drink all over me. I was furious, we were arguing and that was the end for us. I met her again, two days ago.

I will try to win her over again. She had been such a great friend, the best I ever had.. PART 4. Read the text and match statements with the speakers A–E. You and your lookIs how you look how you really are?Check out the results of our surprise street survey belowASteve I’m a doctor so I have to look smart and professional to give the right impression. I wear conservative clothes, usually a shirt and tie and I could never wear jeans or trainers to work. Is that how I really am? Definitely not! I don’t like things too neat and tidy at home – in fact my place is usually a bit of a mess – and I usually dress in pretty casual clothes, especially if I’m working in my garage fixing my motorbike, which is what I like to do in my spare time.B Katie I hope so. I spend a long time choosing clothes and doing my hair and make-up because I think the way you look tells people a lot about you. I’m a student so I can’t go to the most expensive shops but I think that makes you more creative because you have to look for good clothes in different places. It can take a long time but it can be a lot of fun – actually, going round markets and second-hand shops is how I like to spend my free time. I choose bright colours and patterns and I think I’m a lively and enthusiastic person so, yes, I think how I look matches how I am pretty well.C Ken To be honest, I don’t really pay any attention to how I look. My wife buys most of my clothes so I don’t need to do it, fortunately, and I’m a policeman so I wear a uniform at work. When I’m not wearing the uniform I usually look a bit of a mess. Is that how I really am? I don’t think I’m a very tidy person but I don’t think I’m especially messy either so it’s quite hard to say really.DAnne Appearances are very important for me and always have been. I like my house to be tidy, my car to be clean, my desk to be neat and my clothes to be smart, but I don’t like to wear the same thing every day so I put on something different every morning. I always look my best because if I don’t then I feel very uncomfortable. I just think how we look is a reflection of our values and it doesn’t matter if it’s clothes, your home or your work, you should be smart and elegant at all times.E Aisha I change the way I look all the time so my friends never know what they’re going to see! Last week I had long straight dark hair and now it’s short, curly and blonde! It’s the same with clothes, I can wear dark serious clothes one day and then bright colourful ones the next, or quite formal ones for a few days then casual or sporty ones after that. I just get bored with the same look all the time. Funnily enough, I’m very consistent in everything else: I hardly ever change how I work or where I go or who my friends are because I like my routines. 4.1.
