[00:00.00]CHAPTER ONE READING page 3 [00:-1.00]SUFFERING TO BE BEAUTIFUL [00:-2.00]Good morning and welcome to'Head to Head'. [00:-3.00]Today's topic is beauty.What is beauty? [00:-4.00]What lengths can we or should we go to,to make ourselves more beautiful? [00:-5.00]In order to help answer your questions,I have two beautiful people with me! [00:-6.00]Sue Leslie,a former top model,is now a successful businesswoman. [00:-7.00]Elizabeth Cade is a writer and lecturer. [00:-8.00]Sue,perhaps we could start with you. [00:-9.00]Do you think people should try to be beautiful? [00:10.00]Well,first,thanks for the compliment, Mary. [00:11.00]Now,the way I see it,you're only on this earth for a short time, [00:12.00]and you've only got one body,so you should look after it. [00:13.00]You've got to watch what to eat,keep yourself fit,and later, [00:14.00]if you need a little help from cosmetic surgery,what's wrong with that? [00:15.00]Elizabeth,would you agree with that? [00:16.00]I think it's up to everyone to decide what is right for them, [00:17.00]but I do feel that there is too much emphasis on appearance these days. [00:18.00]And I think there are real dangers here. [00:19.00]There are dangers from eating disorders,like anorexia, [00:20.00]and from having cosmetic surgery. [00:21.00]And there are a lot of people who are unhappy [00:22.00]because they just don't happen to fit society's current ideas about what is beautiful. [00:23.00]Yes, you're a historian, [00:24.00]perhaps you could give us a brief historical perspective on this. [00:25.00]Well,there are lots of examples of societies in which people have done some horrendous things [00:26.00]so as to make themselves more 'beautiful',in quotes. [00:27.00]For instance,in Europe,some women used to have their bottom ribs removed [00:28.00]so that they would have thin waists. [00:29.00]Neck-stretching was the fashion in some parts of Southeast Asia. [00:30.00]In Africa,there were tribes which went in for stretching the ear lobes, [00:31.00]or the lips,or even changing the shape of the skull itself. [00:32.00]These are all cases in which people usually women [00:33.00]have been forced by society to endure considerable physical pain and suffering... [00:34.00]Yes,I would agree with you that that is all ridiculous, [00:35.00]but we're talking here about the 1990s, [00:36.00]and we're talking about people who are free to choose. [00:37.00]no one forces people to come along to my health studios. [00:38.00]After a course at one of my studios,they look as if they were ten years younger. [00:39.00]They're free to come,and they enjoy coming. [00:40.00]I don't see there is any real point in looking back at all these quaint old customs. [00:41.00]Well,unfortunately some of them still go on today. [00:42.00]It's not just history. [00:43.00]And surely you can see the link with cosmetic surgery! [00:44.00]I mean,it's a trend that just keeps on increasing. [00:45.00]Thousands of women,having breast implants, [00:46.00]eye operations,face-lifts,men having hair transplants ... [00:47.00]Yes,but it's their own choice. [00:48.00]I'm sorry,I don't think it is a free choice. [00:49.00]Society is still pushing them into it. [00:50.00]Judging people by their appearance is silly. [00:51.00]We should judge the whole person. [00:52.00]Well,I think that sets out some of the issues very well, [00:53.00]so now,let's take our first call.And it's Sabrina on the line. [00:54.00]What's your question, Sabrina? [00:55.00]LISTENING SKILL page 6 and 7 [00:56.00]Filling in forms Listen to this conversation [00:57.00]SPEAKING page 14 [00:58.00]A Introducing yourself [00:59.00]When you need to introduce yourself to a stranger,you can follow this plan: [-1:00.00]1.Say your name.

[-1:22.00]MORE LANGUAGE INPUT Reading Page 17 [-1:23.00]For Health and Beauty [-1:24.00]Aerobics is one of the most beneficial [-1:25.00]and also one of the most beautiful forms of exercise. [-1:26.00]The word 'aerobic' means 'with oxygen'or'having oxygen'. [-1:27.00]Aerobics,or aerobic exercise,therefore, [-1:28.00]aims at making the heart and lungs work at a higher rate [-1:29.00]so as to supply more oxygen to the muscles. [-1:30.00]Aerobics increases the strength of heart and lungs, [-1:31.00]reduces blood pressure and the risk of heart attack. [-1:32.00]It also helps us lose weight,strengthens muscles and gives us more energy. [-1:33.00]Doing aerobic exercise regularly slows down the aging process. [-1:34.00]Aerobic exercise does not only make us look better, [-1:35.00]it also helps us feel better and think more clearly [-1:36.00]so we can achieve a higher standard in all that we do. [-1:37.00]By doing this type of balanced,relaxing exercise for a period of time, [-1:38.00]our responses get quicker,our mind sharper, [-1:39.00]and thus we become more efficient and productive. [-1:40.00]Aerobics is rhythmic in nature and is often practised in aerobic classes to music. [-1:41.00]This makes aerobic exercise more enjoyable. [-1:42.00]In a word,aerobics is healthy and beautiful. [-1:43.00]It can lead to a better quality of life! [-1:44.00]Listening page 18 [-1:45.00]Listen to the aerobics class.
