英語趣味課堂：對皮膚癌的關注-Concern of the Skin Cancer
Rebecca: Yeah, it is. I think our environment is the cause of it in a way because we do have the beautiful beaches that you always want to go out and swim and be in the sun, have the barbecue, so you're outside a lot, especially during the time of the day that it is really quite stong.
Todd: Right, so is the government doing anything, or do people do anything to try to prevent it?
Rebecca: Yeah, the government's put out the slogan, "Slip, slop, and slap" so slip on some sun screen, slap on a hat, and yeah, something along those lines.
Todd: Right, it works, right. Is skin cancer cases going down?
Rebecca: I think the deaths from skin cancer are going down. The number of cases of skin cancer that are increasing still, maybe it's because they can check and see if you're going to get it earlier than what they used to, but, yeah they're able to sort of reduce the cases a bit, which is great.
Todd: So have this changed the culture? Are people less wanting to be tan?
Rebecca: No, I don't think so. There's a lot of products coming out on the market now where you get the tanning products, so I suppose they're helping you tan in a way that's not putting you out in the sun, but yeah, it's just the culture is to get outside and enjoy the sun. You do see down on the beach, everyone laying down on the beach, sun baking, enjoying the sun, but I think more so now, you see that they are putting on sun screen too, which is really good to hear.
Todd: So, what about you? Are you somebody who tans very easily?
Rebecca: I am. I suppose, I'm the lucky few people that don't have to sit out in the sun for ages to tan, but I do still like to put on the sun screen a lot. Every time I go outside I make sure I got it on. Especially, around the ears and nose. They tend to be major parts that skin cancer can form now.
Todd: Well, yeah, it's winter right now and you still look pretty tan.
Rebecca: Ah, thank you.
