Everyone likes to look good, but what makes a person look more attractive? Is it a tattoo? Is it red dye in the hair? Is it true blonds have more fun? Find out how to talk about personal care and jewelry and other adornment.
Beginning Learners:
Learn words for different ways to describe skin color and hair and products to make them look good: Of course, depending on where you are, the variety of hair and skin colors are different.
Possible vocabulary:
| Light-skinned | Dark-skinned | Blond | Brunette | Red-hair (if any) |
| Straight hair | Curly hair | Long hair | Short hair | Shampoo |
| Toothbrush | Comb | Hairbrush | Face cream | Body cream |
| Deodorant | Perfume | Short hair | Long hair | Bracelet |
| Earrings | Necklace | Ring | Lipstick | Rouge |
Possible Activities:
The learning activities are similar to those in recent lessons: Use pictures of people, with different hair and skin colors and different kinds of adornment. The LH can describe a picture, such as “A woman is wearing a necklace and earrings.” And you have to point at the right picture. You can also learn the names for different beauty projects with Look and Listen and Do techniques.
Intermediate Learners:
Ask a Language Helper (LH) to give longer descriptions of pictures of different people. Ask them to choose a picture of a girl or woman they consider attractive and describe her and then tell why she seems attractive.
Do the same thing with pictures of men—ask a woman to pick out a picture of the man she thinks is most attractive and then describe the picture and then tell you why she considers him attractive.
