Exercise 3

Read the following dialogue, fill in articles where needed and do exercise after it:

Jill: You know, Lisa, I love your … hair. It’s so thick and dark and curly. Are those curls natural or did you get … your hair permed?

Lisa: Are you kidding? I can’t afford … perm. This is all natural. But I’ll tell you something funny. As … kid, I hated … curly hair. I always wanted to have … straight hair, or … wavy hair like yours. And I always wished I were … blond like you.

Jill: Really? You must be crazy. Your hair’s great. I wish my hair weren’t so light, and I wish it were curlier. And your hair is so thick and mine’s so thin. Oh dear, I just never know what to do with my hair. Should I have it cut … really short, or should I have it … medium length?

Lisa: How about … punk haircut? You could have it very short at … sides and long at … back and on … top, and then you could put some red, green and blue in it.

Jill: Very funny. But you’re right about one thing, Lisa, I really should dye my hair. Do you know I have … few grey hairs already and I’m only twenty-six.

Lisa: Well, at least we women don’t have to worry about going bald. There’s … baldness in my family, you know. My father hasn’t got … hair on his head. He went bald at thirty.

Jill: Hm, I don’t know. Maybe I’d look nice bald, what do you think?
