Jenny is looking for a relationship. Will she ever find somebody suitable?  Today's B1 story comes with a test. The story contains around 60 B1 words, which are useful for B1-level English study, and some of them are not easy to learn as they are not very intuitive (false friends).I include below a list of thes B1 words in the order they appear in the story:disappointedallowattempted advertisingkeen tosuitablerefusedadvisedabroadencouragedadviceexploredregionssearchingsuitableintroducedhandsomeunablefall in loverefusedrelationshipunlessmade contactsupportdisappointmentcomplainedaverageannoying sillynone ofvegetarianno longerinvolvedpersuadedonce moresuccessfulpartnersalthoughcompletelyconvincedarrangedthe following daypartnervegetariankeen onmagnificentmatchamazedin facthanded (to)anxiousListen to these words in the story and look for the meaning of those you don't know.There is then a test on some of them.
