Sylvia Brickman decided to have a breasl redudion when she wal 88years old.

Her children were against ir. bul she did it anyway. This was one 01 the

best decisions she has ever made.

Doetors once resisted operating on seniors unless something was bro-

ken, blocked or bleeding. General anesthesia and long recuperation

periods raised the rilk 01 blood clors" and other complicalions.

But changes in anesthesia and an overall increase in health in the older

population have changed the way dCdors see senior patienrs.

For cosmetic surgery in particular, thE numbers 01 older patients have

boomed. In 2000, 244 pa:ients older than 65 gol breast irrplants,according to the American Society 01Plaltic Surgeons. In 2004, that

that men are lessknowledgeable '6

Men start to get wrinkles and

experience facial saggingalmost a deeade later than

to their thicker skin. Sagging

THE FOREHEAO

The signs of aging -including crow's feet.

frown Ines ano sagging skin - seem to creep up on awoman much sooner than aman, ThlS '5 because

women tend to have thinner skin and less blood sup-

p ly to the tace. Far a woman, sagging of the skin

arcund the neck. jowls, eheeks and eyei aften starts in

the early 405. Fine Ines ano deeper wrinkles appear by

the early SOS. And in a woman's 60s, st,e can expect

the 50ft layer of tissue underneath her skin to deterio-

rate, causing even greater sagging.

The world is tom by strife,a, caLght between states tha! are

sent a terrible message to the v/orld by engaging in a dev-

philosophy of al-Qaeda has tainted ll the image of an entire

region and religion. And in Afriea, violen ce in the pursuit of

cynical political ends scars'4 the lives of millions from Darfur

to the Congo.

Gandhi understood that his vision of nonvlolence hac mass

appeal, and that his own leadership was of lesser impor-

tance. Gandhi himself said, "There go my people; I mest run

to catch up with'5 them for I am their leader."

Do you have any doubts aboLlt English? Don't worry, thissection is what you've been waiting for! Just drop us your questions to [email protected].

Readersl QUESTIONSHi people of Actual Engfish. 1have a doubt:What is the correct form to mention dates in

English? 1saw this in an onfine arrie/e:

27 June 2001. Is it corred?

Thank you for your question. Firs! of all, it is importantto remember that there are differences between BritishEnglish and American English in Ihe way they expressdates.

In Britain, the commonest way to write a day's date is asfollows: (Note that the names of months always beginwith capital letters)

250ctober 19956luly 2003

.,

The last two le!lers of Ihe number word (st, nd, rd or th)are sometimes added. Some peaJle write a commabefore the year, but this is no longer very common inBrilain except when the date comes inside a sentence:

25th OctoberC) 1995He was born in Argentina on 25th October, 1995

The date may also be wrilten enllrely in figures:

25/10/9525-10-9525.10.95

In the USA il is common to write the month first and toput a comma befare the year:

October 25, 1995

AII-figure dates are written differently in Britain and

America, since British people put the day first whileAmericans generally start with the month. So, for example:

6.10.95 means '60ctober 1995' in Britain, but 'lune lO,1995' in the USA.

The longer names of the months are often abbrevialedas follows:lan Feb Mar AV 5ept Oct Nov Dec

The names of decades (far instance, the nineteenseventies) can be written as follows:

The 19705.

Helio Actual Englishl My name Is Susana and

I would like to know whal the dlfference Is

between should, ough! to and must. Do

they mean dlfferent thlngs?

Thank you lor your question. Many ESLlearners havedoubts about the meaning and use 01 these words:should, oughl lo and musl

Should and ought to

Should and oughl to are very similar, and can oflenreplace each other:

Paul ought to be more responsible, shouldn't he?

They are both used to talk about obligation and duty, togive advice, and to say what we think is right lor peopleto do or have done. Should is much more Irequent thanoughl to :

You should / ought to see The Lord of lhe Rings' - ilsa greal film!You should / ought to have seen his face when I toldh/m that you were getting married!!

Should and ought to are NOT used in polite requests:

Could you please open the door? II is vel)l hot in here!* You should open the door. /t is vel)l hot in here!*You ought to open the door. It is vel)l hOI in here!

Should and oughl to are both used to talk about logicalprobability.

I have bought two chickens - that should / ought tobe enough for four people.That should / ought ro be the milkman ringing the bel/.

Important difference: Note that should is lollowedby the inlinitive without to, and ought by theto-inlinitive.

Must and should/ought to

Must has similar meanings to should and ought to, butis stronger or m ore de;inite. It eXJressesgreat

conlidence that something will happen, or thatsomething is true; shou/:i and ougM to express lessconlidence. Please, comJare:

The doctor said 1must stay in bed.(an order which is likely to be obeyed)You real/y ought to stay in bed.(a piece of advice which may or may not be fol/owed)

Julia mus! be home by now(1am sure she is home)Julia should be home by novv

(1think she is probably home)

Should can be used instead 01 must lO make orders andinstructions Ihat sound more polite.

This form should be fil/ed in ink. Applications should be sen t by 5 January.

Should and ought to can be used for predictions. Mustis no r used in this way.

/t should be fine tomorrovv

Should and ought to can be used with perfect inflnitivesto talk about unfulfil/ed obligation in the pasto Must isnot used like this.
