【Short Essay】 Cheap haircuts prove hit in tough financial times
Shops that offer $100 haircuts are seeing a sharp increase(劇烈的成長) in business, as more people try to cut back on spending during difficult economic times.
With Taiwan caught up in the global financial crisis, personal grooming(修飾) is one of the expenses that is being trimmed(調整).
In Taichung City, there is a $100 haircut shop in almost every hyper mart(大賣場). They offer haircut-only service that does not include shampoo.
This type of service has not only retained(保留) its usual clientele(常客), but is also attracting many first-time customers.
Facing fierce competition from these $100 haircut shops, many hair salons have jumped on the bandwagon(跳漲潮流) and are now offering $100 haircuts in a bid to retain their customers.

Song to sing(歌曲教唱):
Let Me Let Go
by Faith Hill
I thought it was over, baby
We said our goodbyes
But I can’t go a day without your face
Going through my mind
In fact, not a single minute
Passes without you in it
Your voice, your touch, memories of your love
Are with me all of the time
Let me let go, babyLet me let go
If this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart
Are you still in my soul
Let me let go
I talked to you the other day
Looks like you made your escape(你逃走)
You put us behind, no matter how I try
I can’t do the same
Let me let go, babyLet me let go
It just isn’t right
I’ve been two thousand miles
Down a dead-end road
Let me let go
The lights of this strange city are shining
But they don’t hold no fascination(迷戀) for me
I try to find the bright side, baby
But everywhere I look
Everywhere I turn
You’re all I see
Let me, let me let go, baby, won’t you
Let me let goIt just isn’t right
I’ve been two thousand miles
Down a dead-end road
Oh, let me let go, darling, won’t you
I just gotta knowIf this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart
Yeah, you’re still in my soul, let me let go
Let me let go, let me let go
