[A = British English; B = Indian; C= Spanish]
 
A: This is Nigella Compton with the DBC radio network and Eye on the Globe. We’re
talking to the new Miss Universal Beauty, Maya Prasad, who has just won her title at
the tenth annual Miss Universal Beauty pageant in Kuala Lumpur. And we’re also
talking to Ricardo Figueroa, the chief judge of the contest this year. Welcome, Ms.
Prasad—or, should I say, Welcome Miss Universal Beauty?
B: Hello, Nigella. Please call me Maya. Thank you for inviting me.
A: And welcome, Mr. Figueroa.
C: Thank you.
A: My pleasure. Maya, please tell our listeners what it’s like to have been chosen Miss
Universal Beauty. Do you feel like the most beautiful woman in the world?
B: Uh . . . actually, no. To tell you the truth, the idea is very flattering, but I don’t actually
feel that beautiful. All the contestants were beautiful. Many, I think, were much more
attractive than I am. I think I was very lucky.
A: One of the things that’s special about the Miss Universal Beauty contest is that it
emphasizes both inner and outer beauty. Mr. Figueroa, could you say a few words
about that for us?
C: Certainly. The Miss Universal Beauty contest tries to choose contestants who exhibit
all the features of traditional physical beauty: youth, health, beautiful skin and hair, a
lovely body—those things everyone understands to represent beauty. But, true beauty
goes beyond that. Helen Keller, who was both blind and deaf, said something very
profound and true about beauty: “The best and most beautiful things in the world
cannot be seen, nor touched . . . but are felt in the heart.” We at the Miss Universal
Beauty contest have tried to make that our motto. We try to find that beauty that
touches our hearts.

A: Very interesting. And all the more so since Helen Keller was blind and couldn’t see
what people looked like. She still had a concept of beauty. “The most beautiful things
are felt in the heart.” What, in your opinion, are those things—those beautiful things—
that we feel in the heart?
C: Well, I think Helen Keller was describing inner beauty—those qualities that last longer
than youth and can exist even when health has gone. Qualities such as goodness,
kindness to other people, truthfulness—qualities that everyone appreciates—no matter
where in the world they live.
B: I’ve always felt that physical beauty can’t last forever. People think it’s beauty that
brings you love, but I’m not so sure. I’ve always loved the Oscar Hammerstein song
that says: “Do you love me because I'm beautiful, or am I beautiful because you love
me?”
A: Hmm. Very interesting food for thought. I would imagine that that attitude will help you
lead a happy life.
C: I’d like to say that the judges thought that Maya presented an almost perfect balance
between outer and inner beauty. Her happiness with life is one of the strongest
features of her inner beauty. But before we finish, let me just read a little from their
written comments: Maya has
Warmth: She expresses her love for others easily.
Patience: She is a wonderful listener and lets other speak. She doesn’t rush them.
B: Oh, Mr. Figueroa. I can’t believe anyone said all this about me. I’m just a regular
person!
C: Maya, that comment shows us that you are also very modest—Modesty is actually
another of the features of your inner beauty. But let me continue . . . Maya’s also a
woman of great goodness and kindness: She spends time helping other people who
have difficulties. Last year she taught art to children in the public hospital. So her
happiness, her warmth, her patience, and her kindness shine through and make her
physical beauty all the more radiant.
A: Thank you to you both.

Conversation One [A = U.S. regional]
A: Let’s stop by the drugstore and get some of that Hawaii Bronzer before we go to

B: Have you had a look in the kids’ bathroom? Laura wanted to wash her hands

this afternoon when I go shopping.
