CAFETIERE

The drink: Served in a glass container with a plunger for filtering out the solids. Judi’s verdict: It’s all to do with the gadget rather than the coffee. This is a person obsessed with appearances.

They’re also someone who likes to see themselves on the way up - an aspirational person, but one who likes etiquette and rules. The cafetiere drinker likes to be thought of as stylish and a bit continental. When it comes to relationships, they will choose a partner to enhance their status.

CAPPUCCINO

The drink: Made with heated milk with froth on the top and often a sprinkling of chocolate.

Judi’s verdict: A lively extrovert with an optimistic outlook on life. Like the coffee they are bubbly but not shallow. Cappuccino drinkers aren’t unduly worried about being at the cutting edge of fashion but they do like having nice objects and attractive people around them. They are sexy and tactile - especially if they’re the type to sprinkle their own chocolate on top. They have a balanced approach to life.

BLACK COFFEE

The drink: A large cup of coffee - taken without milk.

Judi’s verdict: This is a no-nonsense drink that reflects the people who drink it. Black coffee drinkers are likely to be practical, decisive and business-like. Some people might find them a little dull, but, in fact they are individuals with some sophistication and probably focused on their career rather than leisure and home life. In relationships this is a person who is confident and happy to take the lead.

FRAPPUCCINO

The drink: Any variation on iced coffee.

Judi’s verdict: A bit of a poser. They like to stay at the cutting edge of the coffee market as in the rest of life. When new trends appear they are likely to follow and see themselves as trend-setters. There’s a chance people will see them as a bit style over substance. At home they favour modern decor over antiques. They’re also a bit flighty - friendships and relationships tend to come and go. Frappuccino drinkers are social butterflies who shy away from long-term relationships - they want to keep moving.

INSTANT

The drink: Just add water and/or milk to the granules.

Judi’s verdict: This is a no-frills type of person, somebody who takes life as it comes or wants to appear that way. They like a laugh. They tend to get a lift easily and are honest and open. Instant drinkers like the simple pleasures of life, like going to the pub, but they aren’t that adventurous in their career. In relationships they are likely to be loyal but may not provide a huge amount of excitement.

FILTER

The drink: Made by slowly pouring hot water through crushed coffee beans in a coffee filter.

Judi’s verdict: An individualist who doesn’t worry about kudos or what others think. They are single-minded and know what they want from life. But they like time to think things over. They don’t enjoy being put in high-pressure situations but are thorough in their work and will see a job through. Filter drinkers have a strong personality and as far as relationships go, if someone doesn’t click straight away they aren’t going to be bothered.

e. Now discuss the following.

1. 
   How true is this survey for you and your class?
   
2. 
   Do you usually read surveys like this? Are they revealing or rubbish?
   
3. 
   Do you believe in horoscopes? Is a Gemini (born between 21 May and 20 June) really different from a Capricorn (22 December-19 January)?
   
4. 
   Chinese Astrology suggests that your character comes from the year of your birth. For example, a Goat (born in 1979 or 1991) is friendly but easily led, a Monkey (1980 or 1992) is intelligent but untidy and a Buffalo (1985 or 1997) is reliable but stubborn. Is this true?
   

Ex. 27. Describe any member of your family. You should say:

• 
  who and what this person is;
  
• 
  what his/her appearance is like;
  
• 
  what positive/negative traits of character he/she has.
  

Comment on the saying “Like father, like son.”

VII. ACCOMODATION

Home, Sweet Home

Ex. 1. a. Read the text paying attention to the words and phrases in bold.

It does not matter what your home is like – a country mansion, a more modest detached or semi-detached house, a flat in a block of flats or even a room in a hostel. Anyway, it is the place where you once move and start to furnish and decorate it to your own taste. It becomes your second ‘ego’.

Your second ‘ego’ is very big and disquieting if you have a house. There is enough room for everything: a hall, a kitchen with a dining room, a living room or a lounge, a couple of bedrooms and storerooms, a toilet and a bathroom. You can walk slowly around the house thinking what else you can do to renovate it.

You come to the kitchen: kitchen furniture, kitchen utensils, a refrigerator (fridge) with a freezer, a dishwasher, an electric or gas cooker with an oven. Probably nothing needs to be changed here.

The dining room is lovely. A big dining table with chairs in the centre, a ^{cupboard with tea sets and dinner sets. There is enough place to keep all cutlery in.}

The spacious living room is the heart of the house. It is the place where you can have a chance to see the rest of the family. They come in the evening to sit around the coffee table in soft armchairs and on the sofa. A fireplace and houseplants make the living room really cosy.

Your bedroom is your private area though most bedrooms are alike: a single or a double bed, a wardrobe, one or two bedside tables and a dressing table.

You look inside the bathroom: a sink, hot and cold taps and a bath.

You are quite satisfied with what you have seen, but still doubt disturbs you: ‘Is there anything to change?’ Yes! The walls of the rooms should be papered, and in the bathroom and toilet – tiled! Instead of linoleum there should be a parquet floor. You do it all, but doubt does not leave you. You start moving the furniture around the bedroom, because the dressing table blocks out the light.

Those who live in a one-room or two-room flat may feel pity for those who live in houses. They do not have such problems. At the same time they have a lot of privileges: central heating, running water, a refuse-chute and … nice neighbours who like to play music at midnight. Owners of small flats are happy to have small problems and they love their homes no less than those who live in three-storeyed palaces. Home, sweet home.
b. Say whether these sentences are true or false.

1. 
   It does not matter what your home is like, it is the place where you like to spend your free time.
   
2. 
   Your home is your second ‘ego’, which depends on the type of accommodation.
   
3. 
   You can walk around the house thinking of some changes in it.
   
4. 
   Each room needs to be repaired.
   
5. 
   The private area in the house is your living room.
   
6. 
   A fireplace and houseplants are in the spacious living room which make it really cosy.
   
7. 
   After renovation you are quite satisfied with what you have seen, and nothing disturbs you.
   
8. 
   Those who live in a flat have the same problems as those who live in a house.
   
9. 
   Owners of small flats love their homes no less than those who live in mansions.
   
10. 
    There’s no place like home.
