Exercise 3
Consulting a doctor Patient: Good morning doctor Lee
Doctor: Good morning, Madam, what’s the problem?
Patient: I want to have a tan and I don’t know how to prevent damages to my skin
Doctor: You have two chances: the use of a tanning bed or exposing your skin to natural sunlight. Do you want my real advice? Don’t tan or use tanning beds
Patient: Why?
Doctor: Spending time in a tanning bed guarantees you’ll deal with skin problems like spots, wrinkles and fine lines. Besides, research indicates that people who tan indoor increase the risk of developing melanomas Patient: And what about sun exposure?
Doctor: Both exposure to sun and exposure to tanning beds are probably high risk factors. You’re young and younger tanners are especially at risk. Any sun exposure subjects your skin to ultraviolet rays. Don’t stay out in the sun!
Patient: My skin is so pale!
Doctor: People mistakenly see a tan as a sign of beauty and health, whereas it is a sign of damage to the skin
Patient: Why is it bad to use a tanning bed?
Doctor: Being exposed to artificial sunlight such as tanning bed is always bad, especially over long periods of time. Any time you tan, you damage your skin accelerating your skin’s ageing process
Patient: Should I use sunscreen protections?
Doctor: Only sunscreens labeled as Sun Protection Factor can reduce the risk of skin damage, but sometimes they are not sufficient, they only help to prevent sunburns. Even clouds don’t protect you from the sun. According to dermatologists up to 80% of the sun’s UV rays can pass through clouds and damage the skin
Patient: I understand, everyone is at risk!
