3. IDIOM

Next day, mother took Julie to a clothing store. They had to buy some new clothes. Julie was annoyed and didn’t want to try on many of the things her mother wanted her to. She was saying T-shirts were too tight, or jeans didn’t suit her, or trainers had laces to do up. They were just excuses. Actually, she couldn’t help thinking of Jessie, who might look great wearing those clothes. She imagined Alex smiling at Jessie and taking her to the river, and all thoughts turned upside down in her head. She heard her mother telling a shop assistant that she was at an awkward age and had a chip on her shoulder. Julie understood, but just couldn’t help it. She was missing Alex and very jealous of him.


· A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER / агрессивность, раздражение, недовольство, вожжа попала под хвост, постоянно чем-то недоволен (-а).

4. TEXTS


♦ GIRLS SHARING GOSSIP ABOUT A PARTY

A: Some of our girls, Jessica and Dolores, had really dolled themselves up1. They were in such weird get-ups2: masks, flickering tops, long gloves. It looked as if they thought it was a fancy-dress party!

B: Oh, really? Why did they dress like that3? Well, and what did you wear?

A: Well, it wasn’t easy. I wanted to put on my little violet gown, but I had trouble getting into4 it. Damn, I’ve put weight on. I’ll have to get my aunt to let it out, or else lose some weight! I didn’t give up and tried my best, so I eventually squeezed into5 it. I looked so terrible in the mirror, though, and I just took it off again, pulled on a boring old T-shirt and slipped on my old jeans.

B: Oh, it’s not so bad. I think you look OK in them.

A: Thanks! Well, some girls had their T-shirts all creased as if they didn’t have time to iron them. Julie told me she just smoothed hers down6 with her hands. She had the wrong shoes on too. To me she looked like a misfit, you know, as if she was wearing cast-offs7! But no one really cared. When the music started, we all flung our shoes off8 to dance anyway.


B: No, you always look nice whatever you’re wearing.

A: Oh, you’re so sweet! How flattering!
