Vocabulary - 8 ways to use the word 'look' - Pride and Prejudice part 1

Hello, I'm Lizzie. Today I've got a story about unspoken love, romance and missed opportunities

It's about a young, beautiful girl called Elizabeth, whose mother is looking for a

good man to marry her. Elizabeth would love to meet the man of her dreams too

and thinks she has when she attends a very smart party

He's called William Darcy, a wealthy man who has the looks; very handsome,

thick black hair, dark brown eyes

smartly dressed, very tall and not only that, he has the look of someone very

important

Oh and did I mention he's single? But there's a problem

William is very proud and isn't big on talking, and being a wealthy and

important man, he looks on someone from a lower status in society such as

Elizabeth's family with contempt.

Oh but there's something about Elizabeth that interests him.

However she hears about some bad things he's done and it looks like he's someone

best to avoid, so she decides to steer clear of him.

Then she gets some more bad news

one of Williams friends, who at one stage had been looking to marry her sister

Jane, moved away.

Elizabeth is angry and annoyed for her sister and decides to travel to see him

and his family to discover the real reason for his sudden departure and

change of mind. By chance she bumps into William again and it looks as if he

still has the hots for Elizabeth,

because he asks her to marry him.

Oh, how romantic.

But believing all the rumours, she thinks of him as someone not

to be trusted

so she politely says no and returns home. He's surprised by her decision and writes

to her, explaining why all of the bad things she's heard about him are untrue

She looks over his letter and realises how stupid she has been to have judged

him so badly.

Awkward!

We'll leave the story there.

Join me again to find out what happens next.

See you!

yeah
