IV. Speaking Out
MODEL 1 She’s having some cosmetic surgery.
Amy: Did you hear Nora’s off to Korea?
Bill: why is she going to Korea?
Amy: She is having some cosmetic surgery.
Bill: I’m floored! I thought she was beautiful already.
Amy: I know what you mean. She’s having her nose fixed.
Bill: Was it broken?
Amy: No, stupid, she’s having it made smaller.
Bill: If she wasn’t beautiful already, I could understand getting surgery. But she already has a nice nose.
Amy: But not a fashionable one. She’s also having her teeth straighten. She wants to have a perfect smile.
Bill: What for?
Amy: She believes a better physical appearance will improve her chance of getting a good job.
Bill: We won’t even recognize her when she gets back. |
