W：It's sunny today．Everyone seems to be outside in parks while they try to build up their tans．
M：Yes，the practice of making your skin go brown is very popular with some people here in the UK．It's probably because the weather is not so good and people associate being tanned with feeling and looking healthy．
W：But very dark，tanned people in the middle of winter is always rather surprising．
M：Well，I'm sorry to tell you in most cases，it's fake and comes from a special cream or from going on a sunbed．
W：A what?
M：A sunbed is a machine which produces light similar to sunlight You can lie down on it and it gives you a tan similar to the one you would get if you sunbathed on a beach．So you can see why sunbeds are more popular in colder countries!
W：I know in some countries it's seen as attractive and in other parts of the world．people want to be as pale as possible．Are you trying to get a tan this summer?
M：Never ever．I think we're both living in the wrong era in history,as before the 20th century,the fashion was for pale skin．Only the poor were tanned，as they often had to work outside and they even used cosmetics to make their skin look lighter．
W：But now having a tan is suddenly in fashion．
M：It's interesting．isn't it?
