, you crushed it. A non-stop, perfect mix of comedy and action. I loved it and I’m very, very proud of you.
Describe someone you know who dresses well. You should say
who they are
how you know them
what kind of clothes they wear
and say why you like the way they dress.
Tomoko: I'd like to talk about one of my teachers … Miss Evans … she teaches us English in the school I go to … we always look forward to seeing what she's going to wear when our lessons start … she's always very well dressed and takes a lot of pride in her appearance … it's not that she dresses in very smart clothes … she doesn't come to school dressed to kill or anything like that … but what she wears really suits her … and she has a great sense of style as well … we often ask her where she gets some of her clothes and most of the time they're just off the peg … and she says she's not interested in designer labelsor anything like that … she doesn't seem too concerned aboutkeeping up with the latest fashion … she just wears clothes that are timeless … yes … Miss Evans is the person I think looks great in the clothes she wears …
Part 3-style questions
Examiner: What factors do you think affect the clothes we choose to wear? Maki: It depends … where we are or where we're going is a big factor … if you are going out to a club or party you're going to dress for the occasion … and then there are those who think it's important to look like they're on trend … they'll want to wear the latest fashions … there are lots of factors really …
Examiner: What kind of things determine what is in fashion and what we should be wearing?
Martin: I suppose the big fashion houses and fashion showsmust have an effect but the clothes you see on the catwalk don't always reflect what normal people wear … so I suppose it will be things like what singers are wearing in videos or models are wearing in magazines … that kind of thing …
Examiner: Is it possible to look good without spending lots of money on clothes? Corinna: I'm sure it is … yes … I suppose it's about having an eye for what looks good … knowing how to mix and matchdifferent items of clothing that go well together … I think you can pick up great bargains in charity shops … sometimes for youngsters even hand-me-downs can look good …
Samuel Taylor Coleridge is one of the greatest of the English Romantic poets. He was born on 21 October 1772 in Devonshire 'shaire'), the ninth and youngest son of Rev John Coleridge and Anne Bowden. His father died when he was eight and in July 1782, he entered Christ's Hospital school in London and became an outstanding classical scholar, though he was lonely and homesick in the city.
Coleridge entered Jesus College, Cambridge, but left without taking a degree. It was at Cambridge that he became interested in utopian and revolutionary politics. After 1794, along with Robert Southey, he drew up plans for a utopian society to be in America, known as "Pantisocracy". The scheme collapsed, but through it he met, and married, Sarah Fricker, a marriage that was at first happy, but was to prove a complete failure.
Use your mouse to explore some of the pivotal events of Coleridge's life
Coleridge was to enter the church to make a living, but an annuity of 150 given him by Thomas and Josiah Wedgwood in 1798 freed him to be able to write poetry.
By this time he had met William Wordsworth and the great literary partnership began. Wordsworth and his sister moved to be near the Coleridges at Nether Stowey in Somersetshire.
In 1798 the pair published Lyrical Ballads, designed to revolutionise the style and subject matter of English poetry and it was between July 1797 and July 1798 that Coleridge wrote his greatest poems: 'Kubla Khan', 'Frost at midnight', 'Christabel', 'France: an ode' and 'The rime of the ancient mariner'.
From 1799, he was writing regular political articles for the Morning Post. In 1800 Coleridge moved to the Lake District with the Wordsworths and they prepared a new edition of the Lyrical Ballads, though Wordsworth omitted 'Christabel', leading to Coleridge's increasing lack of confidence in himself - a problem compounded by his failing marriage and love for Sara Hutchinson, a friend of Wordsworth's.
By now he was also addicted to opium, and this addiction was deepened by various sojourns abroad. He returned to England in 1806, and finally separated from Sarah Fricker. He returned to journalism at this time and friends gathered around financially, though he fell out with Wordsworth in 1810 over his addiction.

From 1811 to 1815, he gave a highly successful series of lectures on Shakespeare and Milton, produced a successful play, made great progress on his Biographia Literaria and made great efforts to reduce his drug-taking.
From 1816 till his death in 1834, he lived under the friendly care of Dr Gillman in Highgate. From Highgate, he published a number of his works, continued political journalism and delivered further lecture series. It was in this period from 1811 till his death that he published many of the prose essays and philosophical tracts that established his reputation alongside his poetry, as well as completing Biographia Literaria, though he never finished the work embodying his entire philosophical system, the Opus Maximum.
Conversation poems express the poet's feelings.
Conversation poems are addressed to imagined or real friends.
The term "Conversation poem" is a term Coleridge himself used (see 'The Nightingale') and has come to refer to those poems in which the poet is aware of the imagined or real presence of a loved one, and the poems are partly addressed to these friends in a conversational tone, concerning the poet's own feelings. Coleridge wrote that the most interesting passages in our most interesting Poems are those, in which the Author develops his own feelings.
The term "Conversation poem" itself relates to a phrase Coleridge had used about an earlier English poet, William Cowper. At a time when he felt that his own poetry was too forced, mannered and inflated, he had turned to Cowper who had what Coleridge saw as a relaxed, informal, natural style. He referred to Cowper's style as "divine chit chat", and tried to achieve it these poems of blank verse - hence the phrase, "Conversation poems".
The best known Conversation poems are:
'The Eolian Harp,
Frost at Midnight,
This Lime-Tree Bower, my Prison,
The Nightingale
and
Reflections on Having Left a Place of Retirement.'
Because they adopt the tone of natural conversation, these poems appear artless, but in fact they are highly structured and carefully created. One of the techniques that Coleridge uses, for example, is that of moving from one subject to another because of the associations that a particular word might have - just as in a real conversation.

conversation poems move like the beat of a heart they expand and contract as the poet considers his concrete self and the wider world.
Coleridge critic, Albert Guerard, in an important essay 'The systolic rhythm: the structure of Coleridge's Conversation poems', coined the term "systolic rhythm" to refer to the structure of these poems. The term refers to the notion that the Conversation poems move like the beat of a heart - systole and diastole - contracting and expanding as the poet wanders to and fro between his concrete, immediate self and the wider world.
From the early 17th century to the late 18th century, the dominant intellectual force in Europe was reason. This was the 'Age of Reason'.
It is represented by writers such as Francis Bacon:
'Man, being the servant and interpreter of Nature, can do and understand so much and so much only as he has observed in fact or thought of the course of nature: beyond this he neither knows anything nor can do anything.' (1620)
or
Alexander Pope:
'Know then thyself, presume not God to scan,
The proper study of mankind is Man.' (1733)
The Romantics, however, revolted against this "tyranny of reason" and demanded recognition of the importance of imagination and feeling. They perceived reason as aligned with science and technology and partly blamed these forces for the ugliness of the Industrial Revolution. In revolting against this, the Romantics proclaimed a new appreciation of Nature - not the nature of private parks under human control that Pope had so loved, but Nature wild and solitary and untamed.
