Really? Sure. Women like men who take care of their appearance. Really? OK. Well, what else should I do? You don’t want me to wear makeup, do you? Lipstick, mascara, eye shadow ... No. But how about a manicure? I’m serious. Look at your nails. They’re a mess. Men get manicures? Many do, yes. We can give you one right here. Really? Piece of cake. Well ... OK. Great. Then we can talk about your haircut, facial, and face-lift. What?
4. salon
I’d like to try it. Did you find it at the drugstore? No, I bought it at my salon on Friday. I’ll pick some up for you next time I’m there. Great, thanks! Would you like some too, Bob? I have shampoo, thanks. But mine will make your hair softer and cleaner-smelling. Uh, thanks, but no thanks. Come on, Bob, don’t you care about how you look? Of course I do. I shampoo, shower, and shave every day. That’s all? Is there more to do? Don’t you use any skin care products—body lotion or skin cream? No. Should I? If you want your skin to stay young and healthy. Do you use any conditioner? That’s for women. Lots of men use it, too.
Do you want softer, cleaner-smelling hair every time you wash? Ask for Spring Rain at your local drugstore or cosmetics store. Or order online at www.springrain.com. Can’t get your hands clean after a day in the garden? Try washing your hands with Rose. You’ll get clean hands fast! Doctors say it’s important to protect your skin from the sun. So even on a cloudy day, don’t go out without Pro-Tect, and keep your skin healthy and young. Does soap make your skin dry and rough? Well, All Over is the answer. All Over Liquid Smoother. Use All Over after bath or shower. Use All Over whenever your skin feels dry. For brighter, whiter teeth, use Scrubbie Dental Cream twice a day, morning and night, and see results in less than a week. And have sweeter-smelling breath from day one!

Listening
Part 1 A Conversation at a Meeting in Brazil
1. Listen to the conversation. Correct the following false statements. a. Mieko is going to shop in a cosmetics store. b. Noor can’t go with Mieko because she is expecting a call from Kuala Lumpur. c. Mieko is worried that no one speaks Japanese. 2. Complete each statement according to the conversation. a. When Noor says, “I think I’ll pass,” she means she won’t go. b. When Noor says, “You’ll be fine,” she means it won’t be a problem if no one speaks Japanese because most people speak some English. c. When Mieko says, “It’ll be a piece of cake,” she means it will be easy. Script MIEKO: NOOR: MIEKO: NOOR: MIEKO: NOOR: Hey, Noor. I need to pick up a few things on the way back to the hotel. Feel like stopping at a cosmetics store? We could get some of that makeup these gorgeous Brazilians wear. I’d like to, but I think I’ll pass. I don’t have much time today. I’m expecting an important call from Kuala Lumpur in a few minutes. No problem. I’ll just go myself. But wish me luck. I’m sure no one speaks Japanese! Don’t worry. Most people speak some English. You’ll be fine. I guess. In any case, the store’s self-service. It’ll be a piece of cake! See you back at the hotel.
What do you think the women are talking about? (a phone call) Step 2 Have students listen to the conversation with their books closed. To check general comprehension, ask: What are the two women talking about? (going to a cosmetics store) Are both women going to go? (no) Step3 Then have students listen to the conversation again. Ask: What does the woman want to buy at the cosmetics store? (makeup) Why can’t her colleague go too? (She’s waiting for a phone call.)
Language Note In this context, I think I’ll pass is a polite way to say I don’t want to go. The informal expression a piece of cake means that something is very easy to do.
