tried all the new diet—high carb, low carb—but nothing works.
M:
Those diets are just fads, popular for a while and then forgotten. Just follow the usual diet with fruits, vegetables, fish, water, and get plenty of exercise. Before long you'll see results. What has the woman tried?
W1: I think Lily is really
attractive. She's half
Spanish and has this really sultry look about her.
Q:

W2: That explains why she tans so
well. I've always been
jealous of her skin color in the summer. Q: Which of the following is true
of Lily?
(5)M: Trust me. It was right there on the Internet: \
a faster rate among men\their appearance. W:
I saw it too on the news. Facelifts, nose jobs, and Botox to hide wrinkles are now very popular with men. They say it's for business reasons, but we know it's vanity.
What does the woman think the real reason is for men to have plastic surgery?

BACDB III 1.
Susan:
Rebecca, nice to run into you here. Shopping for anything special?
Rebecca: Yes, Susan, makeup. You know, there's a new boy in my law class and I want
to make an impression on him. Susan:
I'm the one who wears makeup, not you. I've always thought you looked very attractive without makeup—you know, sort of natural.
Rebecca: Well, thanks, Susan, but most girls wear makeup these days and I want to
compete. Susan:
Maybe I can help. My suggestion is that you start with a good makeup base.
Look here, this one is made from natural products from the Dead Sea, so it won't irritate your skin.
Rebecca: OK. A bit expensive, but I guess I'm worth it. What's next? Susan:
You want to give a good overall impression. You have beautiful eyes, so you should highlight them with some mascara to make your eyelashes look fuller and thicker.
Rebecca: I'll buy this one—also made from natural products. How about eyeliner
too? Susan:
Yes, but you want a subtle color to bring out the green in your eyes... without looking like a clown!
Rebecca: That's what I want... to make other girls into green-eyed monsters. How
does this one look? Susan:
Good choice. Now if we can add a bit of color to your cheeks, you will be the classiest of the class.
Rebecca: Thanks! But you haven't said anything about lipstick. I'll need a tube
of that, too. Susan:
This color will perfectly complement to the rest of your makeup. You look elegant and classy.

3.A beauty contest, or beauty pageant, is based mainly, though not only,
on the physical beauty of the contestants. But often it also includes personality, talent demonstration, and question responses as criteria of judgment.
The origin of modern beauty pageants can be traced to the Miss America Pageant, which was first held in Atlantic City in 1921. This pageant eventually included preliminary eliminations, an evening gown
competition, musical variety shows, and judging by the panel. Still, the contests were at first shunned by middle-class society. Pageants did not become respectable until World War II, when beauty queens were recruited to sell bonds and to entertain the troops. The Miss America Pageant is the largest provider of college scholarships for women in the world. Many trade associations have multi-level beauty contests which select queens as ceremonial representatives. The queens may appear at official receptions to present awards, to represent the industry in festivals, to present consumer information to the public, or even to lobby for the industry. For example the South Carolina Watermelon Queen may do a tour of supermarkets to do tastings of different varieties of watermelons. With the increasing popularity of beauty contests, winners have become role models for many young girls. They aspire to become a beauty queen one day. However, there are also criticisms of beauty contests. Although some contests are not based purely on physical appearance, \contestants are unlikely to win, no matter how talented, intelligent, kind-hearted and educated they are. In addition, since \in these pageants is usually represented by unusually thin women, some people question this concept of beauty. Worse still, if a pageant violates the religious or cultural practices of a country, it may cause protests and demonstrations.
ABACD V let’s talk Task 1
In the early part of the 20th century, few people paid attention to fashion. It was only the very wealthy who changed their clothing styles to what they thought were the latest fashions of the day. Fashion in the 1900s was designed to give women an hourglass or s-curved figure. This was achieved by using a tightly fitting corset, stiff underwear worn around their hips and waist to make the body look slimmer. Compared to the last century, women's dresses became lighter in construction and material. A popular style in this period was the lingerie dress, a very light white cotton dress with strips of open lace and net. In the 1900s women's hats began to grow larger. A trend in the early part of this decade was to wear them tilted slightly forward. In Europe, men's clothes had become more formal, but the opposite was true in the United States. There the popular style was brightly colored shirts with hard white collars worn under
sporty jackets. In the 1900s men's hats continued to be very popular and were worn by both the rich and the poor. When a new type of hat was first introduced, there was often a period when people from different classes wore it. However, after some time usually members of only one class would wear it. In the early 20th century, top hats were typically worn by wealthy people especially at formal occasions, such as weddings and church services. Often they were accompanied by silk gloves and a cane. Poorer people, on the other hand, particularly younger workers, would usually wear cloth caps.
