catwalk.
M: Wow, that’s great! All that walking practice really paid off. And foe once she
won’t be complaining about being so tall.

2. Script
M: Julia, come and see the Miss America contest on TV. All those beautiful girls are
walking around in bathing suits, so the judges can decide who has the best figure.

people to enjoy. I would never take part in this kind of contest.

3. Script

usual diet with fruits, vegetables, fish, water, and get plenty of exercise. Before
long you’ll see results.

5. Script

Rate Among Men”. Apparently more and more men are trying to improve their
appearance.

very popular with men. Men say it’s for business reasons, but we know it’s vanity.

Task 1: A Friendly Stylist
Stylist: Morning, sir. This chair, please. What can I do for you?
Nick: A simple haircut: short on the back and sides.
Stylist: Very good. I can, of course, do something fashionable for only $60.
Nick: 60 dollars! That’s highway robbery—twice what I ordinarily pay.
Stylist: Perhaps, sir. But your haircuts haven’t been in harmony with your character.
Your hair is at war with your soul.
Nick: I’ve never heard of such a thing.
Stylist: If I may say, I’m an expert at matching hairstyle to personalities. Believe me;
you’re suffering a “disjunction”.
Nick: A disjunction? What the devil is a disjunction?
Stylist: Your hair does not match you.
Nick: This is utter nonsense. However, I’d like to hear how you’d solve this so-called
problem.
Stylist: Your character is artistic, imaginative. But your hair is dull. I can correct that
imbalance in seconds.
Nick: Okay, let me see what can you do about the…uh…disjunction, as you call it.
Stylist: We’re going to use scissors to create peaks, which we’ll keep in place with a
liberal helping of gel….This tuft in the back we’ll braid into a pigtail. Now, it’s the
new you!
Nick: I love it. It’s just like me: imaginative and artistic. Now what are you doing?
What’s wrong? Don’t you see harmony in my new hairstyle?
Stylist: Something’s preventing your hairstyle from being a true fashionable
statement.
Nick: For heaven’s sake, tell me what’s missing.
Stylist: Streaks. By putting in a few yellow streaks in your hair, it will become a work
of art. Streaking will cost you more, but…
Nick: Do it. Forget the cost. But, by the way, what is the total getting to be? How
much am I paying to avoid disjunction?
Stylist: That’s…$135. Sir? Sir, are you all right? Oh, he fainted.
1. When the stylist mentions $60, what does the customer say?
2. What does the stylist think about the customer’s hairstyle?
3. What will the stylist do with the customer’s hair?

2. That’s…$135. Sir? Sir, are you all right? Oh, he fainted.
Task 2: The Voice Lift
Script
After the face-lift, the forehead tightened, and the (S1) nose job, something still might
be revealing your age: your (S2) voice.
For patients who think their trembly, hoarse words don’t (S3) match their newly face
and figure, there’s a procedure that claims to make them (S4) sound younger too: the
voice lift.
There are two general kinds of voice lifts. In some cases, implants (S5) inserted
through an incision in the (S6) neck bring the vocal cords closer together. Doctors
also use injections of (S7) fat or other substances to plump up the cords, so that the
voice sounds younger.
(S8) The voice lift is becoming more widely known among an aging population, who try to make themselves sound younger.
