8) Michael Briggs, 56, is married to Linda, 48. They run a website business together and live in Norfolk.
Linda had cosmetic surgery three years ago. I was dead against it and worried about the health aspect more than anything. She had a lower face and neck lift, an upper and lower eye lift, laser treatment to remove fine lines and excess fat removed from around her eyes. She was battered and bruised afterwards, but once everything settled down she looked amazing. Since then I've had cosmetic dentistry to realign my teeth and I'm about to have excess fat and skin removed from my upper eyelids. I'm a cosmetic surgery convert.

Ex.5. Which points do you agree with?
True beauty comes from being intelligent and interesting, not from being physically perfect.
Cosmetic surgery can give people more confidence.
There’s nothing wrong with trying to improve on what nature has given us.
People should be grateful for what God has given us.
It is selfish and indulgent to spend money on superficial improvements when there is so much poverty and sickness in the world.
Cosmetic surgery can be more beneficial than a holiday, because the effects last longer.
We should accept ourselves as we are.
Having cosmetic surgery is similar to having your hair dyed or your teeth straightened.
It is good to see life experience showing on people’s faces.
People who feel good about the way they look are more likely to do well in their career.
