What are some common personal or health problems we encounter in our lives? How could hair loss affect a person’s personal appearance and feelings about themselves?
“face up to” = accept something difficult
“Having problems is a part of life, and sometimes you just have to face up to them.”
“mince words” = be indirect by using mild words
“I wish you didn’t mince words every time we need to resolve a problem. Just tell me what you think.”
A. Listen to the recording and answer the questions.
Ron: Hey, I get enough of it from friends, and the people at work, and now from you!
Ron: Ah, nothing. I'm just looking up some information on the Internet.
Heather: Well, maybe you could wear a toupee? I think you'd look great. Ron: Oh no. And have it slip off my head on to my date's dinner plate as I lean over to kiss her? Uh-uh.
Ron: Ah, I still don't give much credibility to medical treatment to prevent permanent hair loss.
Ron: I just can't give up hope. I know appearances shouldn't matter, but I don't know. I just feel that women just avoid me.
