Description
A painting by Renoir inspired today's story. The painting is famous, and is called "The Luncheon of the Boat Party" (I have used the simpler word "Lunch").
These are the adjectives to talk about people's personality that I mention at the beginning:
miserable
lively
keen
lonely
exhausted
embarrassed
easygoing
reliable
charming
sensible
cheerful
talented
And I discuss these two B1 expressions:
a sense of humour
in tears
The question I ask is that you identify Angèle in the story, in the painting. You can see the full painting by Renoir at my website. https://www.practisingenglish.com/podcast-178.htm
