Let one of the students give a very short description of the appearance of a person, male or female, you all know very well. Try to find out who that person is by asking questions as in the example. All those present are to take part in the game. You are allowed to ask any questions about appearance, hobbies, habits, interests, but the name and occupation. e.g.: A: How old is she? B: She's young, tall and slim. A: Is her complexion rosy? B: No, rather pale, I'd say. A: She is blue-eyed, isn't she? B: No, her eyes are dark. A: And what about her nose? B: She has a very nice turned-up nose. A: Is her hair (does she wear her hair) long or short? B: Her hair is short and straight. A: Is she dark-haired? B: Red. A: It's Ann, isn't it? B: No, it's not. You are mistaken. (That's right. You've guessed). Ex. 5. a. Read the dialogue in pairs. Phil: Did you watch that film last night on channel 4? Rob: Which one? The one about a train hijacking? P: Yeah, it had that bloke in it – you know, John what’s his name. R: No. John who? What does he look like? P: He is really tall and muscular – he looks a bit like a body-builder. He’s got a shaved head and a huge scar on his left cheek – you must know who I mean! R: No, I don’t. Oh, hang on! Was he the one with the bushy eyebrows? P: No, that was his friend. The guy I’m talking about has a crooked nose – it was probably broken in a fight. He’s got cauliflower ears, too – like a rugby player. R: How old would he be? P: About thirty, I suppose. R: Did he have a beard? P: Not exactly. More of a ‘five o’clock shadow’. R: Oh, yeah, I know the one! He rescued that gorgeous blonde at the end. P: I wouldn’t have minded being in his shoes, that’s for sure! b. Find in the dialogue all the words / phrases used for describing a person. c. Working in pairs make up a dialogue for the imaginary situation. Your sister got married. Describe her new husband to your aunt who couldn’t be present at the wedding. Ex. 6. a. Answer the pre-text questions. 1. Do you think our perception of the ideal face and figure has changes with the centuries? What makes you think so? 2. Do you think people’s idea of beauty is different in different cultures? 3. What sort of person do you find attractive? 4. Do you think the idea of beauty will be different in 2500? b. Each heading below summarizes one of the paragraphs in the text. Read the text and match the headings to the correct paragraphs. Ideas of beauty 200-300 years ago The bigger the better Pale is beautiful! The importance of a long neck The perfect modern woman Showing your emotions The world’s most handsome men 1. For many people, German-born supermodel Claudia Schiffer is the perfect beauty: tall and slim, blue-eyed, tanned and athletic-looking with long, blond hair. No wonder people have described her as 'The most beautiful woman in the world'. 2. But people have not always had the same ideas about beauty. Until the 1920s, suntans were for poor people, 'ladies' stayed out of the sun to keep their faces as pale as possible. Five hundred years ago, in the times of Queen Elizabeth I of England, fashionable ladies even painted their faces with lead to make them whiter— a very dangerous habit as lead is poisonous! 3. And people in the eighteenth century would certainly not have thought much of Claudia Schiffer's hair! Ladies in those days never went out without their wigs, which were so enormous — and so dirty — that it was quite common to find mice living in them! As for the 'perfect beauties' painted by Rubens in the seventeenth century, if they wanted to be supermodels today they would have to spend months on a diet! 4. Ideas of beauty can be very different according to where you live, too. For the Paduang tribe in South-East Asia, traditionally the most important sign of beauty was a long neck. So at the age of five or six, girls received their first neck ring. and each year they added new rings. By the time they were old enough to marry, their necks were about twenty-five centimetres long! 5. And what about the ideal man? If you ask women today to name an attractive man, most mention someone like Russell Crowe, Mel Gibson or Denzel Washington: someone tall and strong, brave and 'manly'. 6. In the eighteenth century, however, 'manliness was very different from what it is today. As well as wearing wigs, perfume and lots of make-up, a true gentleman showed his feelings by crying frequently in public. According to one story, when the British Prime Minister, Lord Spencer Percival, came to give King George IV some bad news, both men sat down and cried! 7. And even now, Russell Crowe might not find it so easy to attract women if he visited the Dinka tribe of Sudan. They have always believed in the saying that 'big is beautiful'. Traditionally, each year, men compete to win the title of the fattest man'. The winner is sure to find a wife quickly: for a Dinka woman, if a man is fat, it is also a sign that he is rich and powerful! c. Identify the following statements as T (true) or F (false) and correct the false ones. Prove your ideas. 1. Pale skin was more popular than tanned skin until the twentieth century 2. Elizabethan make-up was not safe. 3. In the eighteenth century, fashionable ladies had mice as pets. 4. Women in Rubens' time probably never went on diets. 5. Paduang women with short necks couldn't get married. 6. In the eighteenth century it was OK for men to cry. 7. Dinka women from Sudan think that thin men are very ugly. d. Find words in the text that mean: 1. (for hair) light-coloured or yellow. 2. pleasant to look at. 3. having skin made darker by the sun. 4. of more than average height. 5. (for skin) light-coloured. 6. looking physically strong and good at sport. 7. having the good qualities of a man. 8. thin in an attractive way. 9. having a lot of courage. 10. with blue eyes. e.
