Activity I. TIME LINE

I've changed in different ways since 2019. 

To begin, my outfits are not the same, they are less colorful now, I have not changed very much my hairstyle, though, it's still short and comfortable.

I'm more outgoing than before, but I only have gone to a concert once and I've recently graduated from High School.

Activity II. DIALOGUE

Hi, yes please. What do you suggest for oily skin with acne?

Good morning, may I help you?

Well, it's important to get a soap only for your face. You can try La Roche or Asepxia.

I'll take a soap, thanks. And, what should I do to hydrate my skin?

You should use this cream. It's called Effaclar and it´s from La Roche, it will work on you!

That's great! By the way, how many times should I wash my face?

It's recommended to wash your face twice daily, also, you shouldn't use any oil-based cosmetics.

Thanks, you have been really helpful. Is there anything else I should know?

Mmm...oh, yes! There's one last thing. Don't forget to buy a sunblock, it's a good idea to apply sunscreen daily to protect the skin from UV rays.

Perfect! I'll take the soap, the cream and the sunblock, please.

Sure! It will be $15.
