Dear friends,
I need some help with my students � written work.
1. A girl says she �s wearing "skinny trousers", is she right? The trousers she �s wearing are very tihgt like leggings.
2.what �s the nema for a swimming pool that the residents living in the same block of flats can share: community pool?
3. can you describe hair as "dark blonde" or is light brown better?
Thanks in advance!

1. Skinny trousers is fine. Also, skinny jeans. The material in leggings is very much thinner, a bit more like thick tights. 2. Communal pool. 3. Both dark blond and light brown are fine. Dark blond is lighter than light brown. |

1. Just to add to cunliffe �s explanation, leggings are usually made from knit stretchy material. Skinny pants or trousers (I �m American; we say pants) are usually made from tight woven and not very stretchy fabric, so movement is more confined.
2. I find nothing wrong with community or neighborhood pool.
3. What cunliffe said, but it isn �t set in stone. |
