Descripciones de personajes y lugares en inglés: vocabulario y expresiones clave

Opinión personal

If we compare this book with the other two books that we have read during this year, it has been easier. The vocabulary and the expressions can be understood easily. The story is more current, so we can imagine what happens without any problem.

Descripción de personajes

Bowen

Bowen was twenty-eight years younger than Eliot and had worked with him since first joining the police. He was honest and intelligent, and a good policeman, but he was always falling in love with the wrong women.

Mr. Crowther (vecino)

He was a white-haired man in late middle age. He stood very straight, which made him seem taller than he really was. His face was lined, but he looked strong and healthy, though his hands were shaking.

Mrs. Crowther (vecina)

She was a beautiful woman with blonde hair and lovely green eyes. It was difficult to tell her age, but she was certainly much younger than her husband. A strong and intelligent woman, Eliot thought.

Amanda

She was a short, dark-haired woman in her late twenties, dressed in jeans and a long, bright-coloured pullover. She looked rather pale and tired. She had an attractive face.

Philip

He was tall and good-looking, with short dark hair and glasses. He looked nervous.

Descripción del lugar

Blackheath Village

Blackheath Village is one of the prettiest and greenest parts of south-east London. Its narrow streets are on a hill with pleasant views, unusual houses and many restaurants. Large areas of grass separate the village from the main road. Here, children play, lovers wander, and families walk with their dogs.

Descripción de la casa

A fire was burning in the fireplace, and lamps on low tables threw a warm light over the curtains, walls and antique furniture. An open piano stood by the window with music on it and a half-filled glass of red wine.
