20. Traduci in italiano.
1.He has a large waistline, although his weight is still fairly low.
2.She is well built. Her skin is delicate as is her face. And her dark hair is gorgeous.
3.Baldness is a common condition in males.
4.His beard is always too long. I think he lets it grow to hide his double chin and his freckles.
5.Her face is always alert, although she easily changes expression.
6.He is afraid to become bald at a young age. His hair is curly. He should cut his hair more frequently and comb his hair less often.
