1. A: I just ran into Mary. Wow! She's really changed!
B: Really?
A: Oh, yeah. She used to look really wild. Remember, with all that big hair And that leather Jacket?
B: Sure. I remember.

2. A: Beth's dressing differently these days.
B: Oh, really?

B: Yeah, I thought the same thing.
A: Now she's wearing fantastic fitted suits in bright colors. My favorite is her red suit.
B: So, why the change?

3. A: Have you seen Jake lately?
B: No. Why?

A: Now he's got long hair. and wears it in a ponytail. And he always wears dark clothes.
B: Interesting. What made him change?

4. A: David's really changed the way he looks.
B: Really?

B: No way!
A: It's true. He used to wear suits and ties all the time, but not anymore.
B: What happened?
A: I heard he broke up with his fiancee.
5. A: I think Karen looked a lot better before she changed her look.
