Exercise 1
Nina takes Philip's measurements in this exchange. Fill in the blanks with the appropriate terms!
Let's start at the top of the body, just below the neck and at the top of the arm: "I threw my bag over my and hit the road."
Now find the term which means "torso": "Tarzan hit his eight times and then ran into the jungle."
This narrow part of the body is below the rib cage and above the hips. This is where we wear belts: "Marilyn has a very slim , which gives her a very feminine figure."
Bonus question! This term describes the part of a jacket, shirt, etc. which covers the arm. We're looking for the plural here: "Long can be dangerous when operating machinery."

This narrow part of the body is below the rib cage and above the hips. This is where we wear belts: "Marilyn has a very slim waist 3, which gives her a very feminine figure."

1 shoulder: "Shoulder" is the correct answer here. Shoulders are very useful for carrying bags. Firemen throw people over their shoulders when they are rescuing them from burning buildings!
2 chest: "Chest" is the term we were looking for. The "chest" is the "torso" or "trunk" of the body. In the dialogue, we learn that Philip's chest measures 40 inches.
3 waist: "Waist" is the correct choice. We wear belts around our "waist", to hold our trousers up. The top part of a skirt or pair of trousers is called a "waistband".
4 sleeves: "Sleeves" is the right term here. The "sleeves" of a piece of clothing run from the shoulder to the wrist, covering the arm. Note that short sleeves also exist, and they can stop just past the shoulder, or at the elbow, etc. If a top has no sleeves, it is called "sleeveless".
