Now Your Turn

Task 1

SAMPLE DIALOG

Sally: Hi, John, nice to see you here.

John: Hi, sorry, your name escapes me momentarily

Sally: Oh, I’m Sally. Don’t you recognize me?

John: Now I see, you’re Sally! You have changed beyond recognition!

Sally: I had cosmetic 1 surgery. 

John: I’m confuses! I thought you were good-looking before.

Sally: My nose was rather flat. The bridge of my nose wasn’t high enough. So I got my nose fixed 2.

John: That’s absolutely unnecessary. I can also see your eyes have changed a lot.

Sally: Yeah, my single-folded eyelids 3 have become double-folded. 

John: What else did you do?

Sally: I also have my teeth straightened. I felt uncomfortable about my uneven 4 teeth whenever I smiled. Now I think I have a better smile.

John: Why do you have so much surgery?

Sally: I believe a better physical appearance will help me land a better job.

John: Nonsense. Most employers are more interested in your practical ability than your looks.
