PASSAGE 1

1. Cosmetic surgery is the latest beauty mantra in India, as more and more people want to look young and feel
good. Be it a crooked nose, cleft lip or excessive body flab, cosmetic surgery can correct it all. Moreover, in the
last decade, the popularity of medical tourism has soared among people in developed nations due to the elevated
cost of healthcare in their own countries. A career as a cosmetic surgeon entails years of training and developing
exceptional skill. However, once established, clients will flow in. Cosmetic surgery entails specialization in a
wide variety of arenas such as rhinoplasty (nose job), abdominalplasty (tummy tuck), otoplasty (ear surgery),
chin, cheek, and liposuction.
2. The level of education is expanding in the field of medical science, and the demand for cosmetic surgeons in
India is at an all-time high. Cosmetic or aesthetic surgery is a fine tuned branch of medicine and requires
intensive training. After an MBBS degree, students would have to pursue a three-year Masters in Surgery (MS)
degree and decide upon their area of specialization. The MS degree involves a house job, a junior residency and a
senior residency for one year each. Students then have to give a dissertation for approval to the university, after
which they can sit for the MS examinations. Aspiring cosmetic surgeons need to specialize in plastic and
reconstructive surgery, also known as MCh degree. Another option after MBBS is the Diploma National Board
DNB), which is parallel to the conventional medical system and offers various specialization options including
plastic and cosmetic surgery. The basic requirement of a cosmetic surgeon is an elevated sense of aesthetics and
beauty. A sense and perception for the perfection of the human anatomy is vital in cosmetic surgery.
3. During their practising years, students must aim to train under renowned surgeons in the field, and soak up as
much as possible from their expertise. Being an apprentice to a good surgeon will not only give you the much
required exposure to the reality of the cosmetic operations but will also build your confidence and client base. The
practising years are crucial because in cosmetic surgery, perfect results are essential. Medical science is not a
stagnant field, and hence one must also keep abreast of the latest in the field of cosmetic surgery.
4. The biggest profit for a truly dedicated cosmetic surgeon is the beautiful result of his work and the client’s
satisfaction. After training under reputed cosmetic surgeons, one can either seek employment in a hospital as a
full time surgeon or open up a private clinic, or do both. If you are good, people will come to you. Word of mouth
is the best form of advertising for a cosmetic surgeon.

PASSAGE 2
1. Good decoration reflects the personality of the people who live in the home. It should, first of all, be
distinctive, just as each person is distinctive. A home should have unity not only within each room but also
throughout the house. Rooms should, to some degree, harmonize with each other. The colour and styling of each
room, particularly, should fit into the colour and styling of the rooms which run out of it.
2. However, furnishings and surroundings expressive of just the right note elegant simplicity are not often
assembled by accident. Even enthusiasm alone is not enough. For most home decorators, it takes poring over
plans, trying colour schemes, finding ingenious ways to make the best of what you have and shopping around to
search out just the right purchases at prices you can afford to pay. But there is keen pleasure in striving for the
perfect result, and great satisfaction in achieving it.
3. A successful house and successful rooms will depend upon the proper relationship of each element in it to the
others and to the whole. Therefore, in selecting each piece it is well to consider the background, the usage, the
draperies, the floor covering, the upholstering materials, the woods, shapes, colour scheme and the “feeling” you
prefer for the room.
4. Work and plan to enjoy your house. Limit the expenditures of time, effort and money to the extent of your
abilities, so that just running the house doesn’t dominate your life. Elegance and delicate things may be a drain
you can afford only in a limited way. If you can’t afford outside help, select a house and furnishings that require
less care.
5. You’ll get more pleasure out of a house if you have a hobby connected with it—collecting glass or antiques,
gardening or indoor flower growing ceramics, art, cooking, decorating, flower arrangements, etc. And you’ll get
more satisfaction and a great deal of help from studying household activities.
6. You can select a pleasing combination of colours from a wallpaper, a fabric, an oriental mg, a flower or scene,
or even a picture in a magazine. If you don’t already have the furniture or mgs, it is a good idea to make up a
colour scheme in this way. Let one colour predominate. Limit a colour scheme to two or three colours, with white
or grey tones.
