SAMPLE DIALOG
A: It’s time the government took stricter standards control on cosmetic¹ products. The low quality cosmetics² have caused various skin diseases among users.
B: Yeah, the producers use harmful ingredients to lower costs and add profits.
A: Perhaps taxes on cosmetics should be cut. With lower taxes, low quality cosmetic products will be less profitable and decrease.
B: But there is a new problem. Cutting taxes goes against the WTO rules.
A: I think by negotiating with other countries we can reduce taxes.
B: That may be hard. Maybe the best idea is to take stricter standards control on cosmetic products.
A: I agree. We should have some regulations to keep a check on the production and marketing³ of cosmetic.
