My first impression was that she was very friendly and very extrovert. Physically she was my type - she was quite slim and not very tall with long dark hair - very pretty. And she was very funny too. She had a great sense of humour. We laughed a lot. But the only problem was that Claire was very talkative. She talked all the time and I just listened. She wasn’t very interested in me. At the end of the evening I knew everything about her and she knew nothing about me. Claire was the kind of woman I could have as a friend but not as a girlfriend. 1.4 When I first saw Nina I couldn’t believe it. I thought ‘Wow! Thanks mum’. She’s very attractive - she’s got short dark hair - and she’s quite tall. She’s Hungarian, from Budapest but her English was fantastic. At first she was a bit shy but when we started chatting we found we had a lot of things in common - we both like music, food and travelling. We got on really well - we didn’t stop talking for the whole evening. When it was time to go I knew I really wanted to see Nina again and I asked her for her phone number. But - she just smiled at me and said in her beautiful Hungarian accent. ‘Richard, you’re really sweet but I’m sorry you’re not my type.’ 1.5 He works abroad She likes good food She laughs a lot He plays the piano She lives in London She does exercise She watches comedy films He relaxes at night She dresses very well 1.8 OK, now the painting we are looking at now is by the French painter Toulouse Lautrec. The painting is called At the Moulin Rouge. As you probably know The Moulin Rouge is a nightclub in Paris. Maybe some of you remember the film Moulin Rouge? In the 19 th century, the nightclub was very famous for its beautiful dancers and singers. Toulouse Lautrec did a lot of paintings and posters of the Moulin Rouge. He especially loved painting the dancers. And in these paintings he sometimes included his friends too. In the middle of the picture there are five people who are sitting at a table having a drink. The woman who’s wearing a hat is a dancer - her name is La Macarona - and the man sitting next to her on the right is a friend of Toulouse Lautrec. He was a photographer. On the right, here, there’s a woman with fair hair, blue eyes, and very red lips. Her face looks very white. That’s another famous dancer called Jane Avril. At the back of the picture, on the right, there are two women who are standing together. One of them is touching her hair. That’s La Goulue and she was one of the most famous singers at the Moulin Rouge at that time. Now this is very interesting. If you look carefully to the left of the two women, there are two men walking out of the nightclub. One of them is very tall and the other one is very short. The very tall man is Toulouse Lautrec’s cousin Gabriel, and the other man is Toulouse Lautrec himself. Toulouse Lautrec was only 1 metre 50 centimetres tall. He had very short legs and couldn’t walk very well. Some people think that this is why he loved painting the dancers of the Moulin Rouge ... because they all had beautiful, long legs. So if you’d like to follow me we’ll be moving into another room now. 1.9 Song - Ain’t got no, I got life Ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes Ain't got no money, ain't got no class Ain’t got no skirts, ain’t got no sweater Ain’t got no perfume, ain’t got no bed Ain’t got no man Ain’t got no mother, ain’t got no culture Ain’t got no friends, ain’t got no schoolin’ Ain’t got no love, ain’t got no name Ain’t got no ticket, ain’t got no token Ain’t got no god Hey, what have I got?
