W: Hello, Frank. Your roommate told me that I could find you here in the TV studio. Sure enough!

M: I was just taking a break. What’s up?

W: We’ll have a math test next Monday, so I thought you’d be studying for it and maybe I can study with you. M: But I can’t believe you are coming to me. I mean you do know what I got on the last test, don’t you? W: Yeah, I know. You told me, but I thought two heads might be better than one.

M: Well, that’s a nice idea. But I wish I knew the person in our class who got a hundred on the last test. She even

didn’t miss any question, you know! Umm, was it Elizabeth?

W: Oh yeah, Elizabeth! She is a good friend of mine. I think she’d be a big help to us right now. Why don’t we give

her a call?

M: What? At this hour? It’s already ten thirty. It’s too late.

W: But you know she owes me a big favor. Let’s at least give her a call and see what she says. Maybe going over some of the problems with us would also help her review the material. M: You’re right. Anyway, it’s worth a try. Text 10

Skin is very important for the body. It’s the body’s first front to fight diseases. It keeps out many harmful materials and also keeps all the things we need in our bodies. The skin helps control body temperature. It can help make the body cool when it gets too hot. And when a person gets too cold, blood passages in the skin become narrow, which helps to keep heat inside the body.

However, like other parts of the body, the skin can have problems. It’s very easy for teenagers to have certain skin problems on the face. Some people think eating chocolate or food with too much oil can cause skin problems. Others think that skin problems are caused by dirty skin or being nervous. However, experts tell us none of these causes skin problems. So what does? Doctors are not sure. Young people will not be happy about this fact—skin

problems increase when boys and girls enter their teenage years.

There are several treatments for skin problems. Mild cases are generally treated with medicines that can be used directly on the skin. People with more serious skin problems may be given drugs to take by mouth. Or they might use other choices of treatments.
