Adjective CEFR B1

Examples

“With the ED relatively quiet, she'd made the trek to the fifth floor to say good morning to Kevin. Unfortunately for her, she'd walked in on a love scene that wasn't exactly PG-13.”
“When I said my husband had rented the tape and I repeated Geoffrey's name, everyone got silent and shot guilty glances at this one girl—the usual blond subliterate trollop, very PG-13.”
“He delivers one of his better set pieces, with Milo and Atticus fending off an entire Roman battalion as the city cheers on at the local arena, the two muscle-bound warriors cutting their way through many a throat in the most PG-13 way imaginable.”
“Each episode was three different story lines happening in high school, college, and postcollege with young adults in various sexual situations. It's MTV, so it was all very PG-13. Created by Roland Joffé, who did The Killing Fields, strangely.”
“I know there's a lot of business to take care of, but I'd like to spend some of my time off actually enjoying myself, even if I have to do it in a completely PG-13 way.”
“"It's also not exactly PG-13 down here." I glanced at JB. "What are you doing here?" JB rolled her eyes. "Oh, please. If you didn't want us to crash, you shouldn't have been blabbing about the whole thing to Betty right in front of my face."”
