--- Listen to the tape then answer this question. |

--- Why was the mother embarrassed? |
| [00:18.520] |
Last week, my four-year-old daughter, Sally, was invited to a children's party. |
| [00:26.680] |
I decided to take her by train. |
| [00:30.160] |
Sally was very excited because she had never travelled on a train before. |
| [00:36.400] |
She sat near the window and asked questions about everything she saw. |
| [00:43.320] |
Suddenly, a middle-age lady got on the train and sat opposite Sally. |
| [00:50.120] |
'Hello, little girl,' she said. |
| [00:53.800] |
Sally did not answer, but looked at her curiously. |
| [00:58.680] |
The lady was dressed in a blue coat and a large, funny hat. |
| [01:05.280] |
After the train had left the station, the lady opened her handbag and took out her power compact. |
| [01:13.680] |
She then began to make up her face. |
| [01:17.320] |
'Why are you doing that?' Sally asked.^“ |
| [01:22.880] |
'To make myself beautiful,' the lady answered.^“ |
| [01:28.720] |
She put away her compact and smiled kindly. |
| [01:33.720] |
'But you are still ugly,' Sally said.^“ |
| [01:38.120] |
Sally was amused, but I was very embarrassed! |
