9 Beauty Is Only Skin Deep 4 Conversation Sophie: I'd like to speak with a manager. Anne: I'm the manager. How can I help you? Sophie: Look at my hair! Anne: It's lovely. رابط الدرس الرقمي www.ien.edu.sa Sophie: I'm not going to beat around the bush. I am very upset with this haircut. It's by far the worst haircut I've ever gotten. The hairstylist didn't listen to me at all. This is not the style I asked for. I'm fit to be tied. Anne: I'm sorry you didn't get what you were expecting. But I have to tell you, I saw you when you walked in. I did a double take when I saw you after the haircut. I think this style really suits you. It's a dramatic improvement. Sophie: But it's too short and it has all these layers! I look ridiculous. Anne: Not at all! You just aren't used to it. Trust me. It brings out your eyes, and it makes you look more sophisticated. Sophie: You're just trying to make me feel better. Anne: No, I'm being entirely honest. You look elegant and sophisticated. Sophie: I have a wedding to go to this weekend, and I wanted to look my best. Anne: Perfect! You're going to blow them away with your new style. Sophie: You really think so? Anne: Absolutely. I'll tell you what: See what happens at the wedding. If your family and friends don't like it, come back next week, and we'll give you any haircut you want on the house. Sophie: Well, OK. I guess that's fair. About the Conversation 1. What was Sophie's complaint? 2. How did Anne respond? 3. How did Sophie's attitude change by the end of the conversation? Why?
