Reading People and their appearances. Meeting people for the first time we always make a judgment based on their appearances though the proverb tells us not to make such a mistake. Appearances are really deceptive; it's like a wrap of a sweet. I believe that everyone at least once in his/her life unwrapped a sweet in a bright paper but instead of a chocolate sweet found there just caramel. Or vice versa sometimes a really tasty candy is hidden under very unattractive wrapping paper. The same I can say about people. Most people in Mediterranean countries such as Italy, Spain and Greece are rather short. They have usually got black or dark brown wavy hair, brown eyes and light brown skin and people from countries such as Denmark, Norway and Sweden are usually tall. They have fair hair, blue eyes and a pale complexion. People from central Africa have got black curly hair and very dark skin. They have also got dark brown eyes, full lips and a wide, flattish nose. People from Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Libya have usually got dark hair and dark brown eyes. They have also got dark skin and Chinese are quite short, with thick black hair and dark, slanting eyes. They have got a small nose and a yellowish complexion In my opinion character does not depend on appearance. So, a very beautiful girl can be angry, nervous person who hates everybody and everything. But an ugly plump person can be really nice and friendly. It can be a good friend, who can always help you. So I advice everybody not to judge people by their appearance.

So I know it for sure that appearances are deceptive. That's why now I never make any conclusions about a person when I meet him or her for the first time. It's not my rule to make hasty conclusions, I prefer to get to know more about a person, then to analyze this information and only then to draw my conclusion. It's very easy to form a negative opinion about a person just because you don't like the way he looks, and it becomes like a barrier for further communication between you and this person, though in fact he can be an interesting, well-educated and talented person with whom you have a lot of in common. So, never judge people by appearances , because appearances are deceptive!

Answer the following questions using your own words but taking into account the

information in the text.

1. Why do we make a judgment based on their appearances when we meet them for the first time?

1. Appearances are really deceptive, aren’t they?

2. Different nationalities have different complexion, don’t they?

3. Do you make any conclusions about a person when you meet him or her for the first time?

4. It's very easy to form a negative opinion about a person just because you don't like the way he looks, isn’t it?

Listening

Listen to the dialogue which one is the bank robber? Pp 41

Policeman: OK ladies, now can you describe the man you saw in the bank?

Woman 1: Well he was, sort of medium height, you know, not short- but not tall either.

And quite skinny, you know thin.

Woman 2: Yes. And he had a beard and a little moustache.

Woman 1: No, he didn’t. He had a moustache but not a beard. It’s just that I think he hadn’t shaved.

Woman 2: No, it was a beard, I’m sure.

Woman 1: And anyway, Doris, you weren’t wearing your glasses so you can’t have seen him very well.

Policeman: Ladies, ladies, please. So, no moustache then.

Woman 1: No, he had a moustache but he didn’t have a beard.

Policeman: And what about his hair?

Woman 2: Dark.

Woman 1: Yes, short, dark hear.

Policeman: Straight?

Woman 1: No, curly, I’d say. Wouldn’t you say, Doris?

Policeman: And what time was it when…

Funny professor

Mr Jones woke early one morning, before the sun had risen. It was a beautiful morning, so he wentto the window and looked out. He was surprised to see a neatly dressed, middle-aged professor, who worked in the university just up the road from Mr Jones’s house, coming from the direction of the town. He had grey hair and thick glasses, and was carrying an umbrella, a morning newspaper and a bag. Mr Jones thought that he must have arrived by the night train and decided to walk to the university instead of taking a taxi.

Mr Jones had a big tree in his garden, and the children had tied a long rope to one of its branches,so that they could swing on it.

Mr Jones was surprised to see the professor stop when he saw the rope, and look carefully up and down the road. When he saw that there was nobody in sight, he stepped into the garden (there was no fence), put his umbrella, newspaper, bag and hat neatly on the grass and took hold of the rope. He pulled it hard to see whether it was strong enough to take his weight, then ran as fast as he could and swung into the air on the end of the rope, his grey hair blowing all around his face. Backwards and forwards he swung, occasionally taking a few more running steps on the grass when the rope began to swing too slowly for him.

At last the professor stopped, straightened his tie, combed his hair carefully, put on his hat, picked up his umbrella, newspaper and bag, and continued on his way to the university, looking as quiet and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be.
