Exercise 1
THE EYEBROWS
                                                              Eyebrows are part of the face which
                                                        serve two purposes—for beauty and protection.
                                                              Eyebrows make the face look more
                                                        beautiful by calling attention to the eyes. They
                                                        make the eyes look healthier and brighter.
                                                              Eyebrows not only beautify the face but
                                                        also protect the eyes from sweat. Without the
                                                        eyebrows, drops of sweat may run into the eyes
                                                        and blur the sight. Sweat in itself is poisonous
                                                        and should be rid-off.
