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 cosmetic1 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 fixed2.
John: That’s absolutely unnecessary. I can also see your eyes have changed a lot.
Sally: Yeah, my single-folded eyelids3 have become double-folded. 
John: What else did you do?
Sally: I also have my teeth straightened. I felt uncomfortable about my uneven4 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.
