Task 2: Is it true beauty?
Script
John: There goes Camilla. She looks gorgeous today, doesn?t she? Her skin is as
smooth as a baby?s bottom. Her lips are a perfect Cupid?s bow. She must have dozens of admirers.
Becky: I wonder what she looks like without all makeup. She must out it with a spoon.
It?s like a mask. I don?t understand what men find so attractive about her.
John: Do I detect a hint of jealousy?
Becky: She has nothing for me to be jealous about.
John: I?ll be you believe in those saying like: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Becky: True beauty comes from within. Natural materials should be enough to bring
it out.
John: But do you always stick to those rules? When I went past your apartment last
night, I saw you in the kitchen with some green substance smeared all your face.
Becky: They were cucumbers. They?re natural healers of the skin. Haven?t you heard
people say on TV that they soften the skin, wipe out the roughness, and build strength and resilience?
John: Yeah, yeah, yeah! They wipe out lines and age signs. Blah, blah, blah! See, I
can even recite that advertisement. Becky: You?ve learned a lot, haven?t you?
John: Since you can keep your skin so young-looking and maintain your figure so
well, you might as well as write a book on beauty secrets.
Becky: Don?t pull my leg. Anyway, you?d do well to try the cucumber treatment on
yourself. Put some cucumber slice on your head. At least they?ll keep that bald spot from shining so brightly.

Task3: Changing Your Hairstyle to Improve Your
Appearance Script
If you want to look better, changing your hairstyle can be a simple fix. If you?re trying to reach a weight-loss goal, a new hairstyle is a quick and easy way to freshen up your looks—and boost your confidence.
According to a popular hair stylist, clients often say, “I want to cut my hair, but I should lose weight first.” But that?s not the right sequence; it?s the other way around. You should know what hairstyle will flatter you the most, the style that will show off you particular feature to the best advantage even before you begin to lose weight.
For example, many may want to follow a tread and wear long hair. But some may look better with shorter hair if they have a round face. “When it?s too long, it can drag your face down and actually bring attention to the features you don?t want to emphasize,” says Guy Riggio, a famous hair stylist in Los Angeles. How short is too short? That depends the length of your neck. Riggio says, “The longer the neck, the shorter you can go.”
Some top stylists believe that women should stay clear of bangs. Thick bangs may be fashionable at times, but even thin bangs are hard to wear. “They change the shape of your face, making it seem shorter,” says New York hair stylist O?Connor. Instead, you should pull your hair away from your face. It will make your face look longer.
Finally, pick a stylist who?s knowledgeable and whose opinion can be trusted. Then have fun with the new style.

Miss World Script
The Miss World title went to first black African contestant ever in its 51-year history at the Miss World finals in Sun City, South Africa on Friday.
Organizers of the pageant said they expected about one billion people to have turned in to watch the beauty queen extravaganza. The event was hosted by American talk show host, Jerry Springer, at a glitzy resort in the heart of South Africa?s bush country.

The pageant was created in 1951 by a public relations executive for a small leisure and entertainment company. It was initially intended to be only a one-time event, but was continued after the United States began the rival Miss Universe contest in 1952. In more than half a century, there have been only three Miss World winners from Africa, two of them white South Africa and the third from Egypt.
Miss World has until now been dominated by winner from Europe, the Americas, and India, the majority of them being Caucasian.
The contestants in this pageant are judges in three different categories: beauty, grace, and charm; talent, poise, and personally; and figure and deportment. After the first round of judging, the original group of 92 contestants was pared down to only ten finalists who would go on to compete for the title.
The second-runner up in this ten year?s pageant was Miss Scotland, 18-year-old Juliet-Jane Horne. [SOUND BITE]
The People?s Republic of China was represented for the first time this year by 18-year-od Bing Li. [SOUND BITE]
The title of first runner up went to Miss Aruba, 19-year-old Zerelda Lee. [SOUND BITE]
The competition was fierce as each of the ten finalists took her turn in the spotlight in front of a live audience.
But out of the 92 contestants, it was Miss Nigeria, 18-year-old Agbani Darego, who took home covered title and the $100,000 prize.
