| Catherine: | Hello you're listening to The English We Speak with me Catherine. |
| Feifei: | Catherine? Is that you? Wow!! I almost didn't recognise you there! You look totally different! |
| Catherine: | Yes, it's me. What do you think? |
| Feifei: | You look ... Different! You've had your hair cut—and it's a different colour! |
| Catherine: | Do you like it? |
| Feifei: | Well yes I do! It's very different to your normal hairstyle! But it really suits you—and it makes you look a lot ... Younger! |
| Catherine: | Younger in a good way, i hope ... |
| Feifei: | Most definitely! And, let's see ... You're wearing a new jumper ... New shoes ... |
| Catherine: | Do you like them? |
| Feifei: | Well yes! Normally you wear quite dark colours ... But these are so bright! You look really pretty! |
| Catherine: | Thanks, Feifei! |
| Feifei: | It's true—but something else is different ... Let's see ... Aha! Your eyeshadow ... Blusher ... Lipstick—you've completely changed your make-up! |
| Catherine: | Oh the make-up? Yes, that's different too. Everything's different, in fact! I've had a makeover. |
| Feifei: | A makeover? I said you've changed your make-up. What's all this about a makeover? |
| Catherine: | Yes, I've changed my make-up. And I've changed my hairstyle and the type of clothes I wear too. When you make lots of changes to something so that it looks completely different, fresh, new and much better—you've given it a makeover. |
| Feifei: | Ohhh ... You've completely changed your appearance so that you look better, fresher, nicer. That's a makeover. What verbs go with makeover? |
| Catherine: | Have a makeover, give something a makeover, get a makeover, need a makeover. Here are a few examples: |
| Feifei: | So not only people but also things can have makeovers. |
| Catherine: | You can give almost anything a makeover, Feifei. Even you can have a makeover—I'll take you shopping if you like! We can start with your hair—a nice short cut I think would suit you, then get you a nice new pair of skinny jeans, and change your makeup, and get ... |
| Feifei: | I'm quite happy with the way I look, thanks. I don't think I need a makeover. |
| Catherine: | Oh, OK, sorry. |
| Feifei: | That's OK. |
| Catherine: | Just a haircut then ... |
| Feifei: | No! |
| Catherine: | Colour change maybe? A little bit of red here and there? |
| Feifei: | I do not need a makeover. |
| Catherine: | Well, if you change your mind, you know where I am! Now I must be going, I'm going to give my living room a makeover and there's a sale on at the furniture shop. |
| Feifei: | Well, good luck with that Catherine. |
| Catherine: | Thanks Feifei. Join us again for more The English We Speak. |
