Sarah and Alex are two teenagers who are not particularly happy with the way they
look But there is help at hand in the form of a makeover!
Sarah is seventeen but she looks younger than her age and she also wears clothes with
cartoon characters on them that make her look even younger, when people were asked
to judge from her appearance how old she was, the general opinion was around
thirteen! She admits herself that she hides behind scruffy, baggy outfits that are not
really suitable for her age She hardly ever goes out with her friends and stays at home
most evenings Her essential problem then, is that she feels worried about the fact that
she is growing up and by the responsibilities that come with being an adult Now,
however, she realises that it’s time to look and behave her age
Sarah’s makeover concentrates not only on her appearance but also on how she feels
about herself and her life She has to make some hard decisions about what changes she
wants to make and what goals she’s aiming at This process isn’t easy but with some
advice and guidance, she’s able to do it Hannah, a stylist, then helps Sarah to choose
some sets of clothes that suit her age Together, they throw out most of the childish
clothes she had! Now she likes her new image and she doesn’t hide behind her clothes
any more Her friends think she’s quite a different person, both inside and out!
Alex, also seventeen, is trying to find a job in the music industry but to do this, he has
to give the impression that he is serious-minded and can hold down a responsible job
Unfortunately, the clothes he wears and the way he speaks give a different picture
Alex is a rapper and every other word he says is ‘cheers’, ‘mate’ or cool’ - not the
type of language you would normally use to an employer!
Alex’s makeover consists mainly of choosing the right outfits for job interviews
Hannah replaces his previous look with a more classic, formal style Alex also needs
practice in how to communicate with people in formal situations so, as part of the
makeover, he spends some time on the perfume counter of a large store Here he learns
more about what employers look for when they interview young people for jobs
Finally, in a class on interview techniques, Alex is taught how to prepare properly for
an interview by doing research beforehand He is then interviewed for a place on a
music production course at college and he gets in! He still dresses as he likes though
-in his spare time - and still ‘raps’ with his mates!
