The Way We Look

Have you ever thought about why we look the way we do? What makes some people’s hair curly and others’
straight? Why is some people’s skin dark and others’ light? These are some of the questions we asked Ms.
Susan Franz , an anthropologist, who talked to us about people and their characteristics.

– Ms. Franz , why do people around the world look so
different?

– Well, think about the countries we live in. They differ
greatly in terrain, temperature, altitude and vegetation. Yet,
people have managed to make homes almost everywhere:
barren, rocky mountain tops, icy, freezing plains, wet
marshes, scorching deserts. The people living in these
different places have slowly become very different from
each other. Their skin colour, the shape and size of their
bodies and their characteristics have evolved over the
years to suit their surroundings.

– Can you give us some examples?

– Of course. A good example is skin colour. Scientists
think that dark skins – which are rich in a substance
called melanin – offer good protection against the burning
rays of the sun. Very dark, curly hair also offers good
insulation from the sun and heat. In northern countries,

Issue 1 / September 20th, 2008

 

where the rays of the sun are weaker, people don’t need dark skin. Their pale complexion allows the skin to absorb the sun’s rays easily in order to make vitamin D.

– Facial characteristics are also very different. Why?

– Well, the key word here again is ‘adaptation’. In extremely cold weather, ears and noses are often the first parts of the body to suffer from frostbite. That’s why people who live in very cold temperatures have facial characteristics
that help them survive the harsh weather. Their faces are flat, and their noses are also small and flat. They also have an extra layer of fat in their eyelids which gives them
slanted eyes.

– That’s very interesting! What about body size and height?

– Well, again scientists have found that people who live in hot, dry climates are often tall and thin. This lean type of body helps heat escape more quickly. People from cold regions, on the other hand, tend to have more sturdy bodies,
covered by a layer of protective fat.

– So, if we move to a northern country, will our skin become pale?

— Of course not! People’s bodies have slowly changed over thousands of years. Who knows what we will look like ten thousand years from now!...

Εικόνα

 

Εικόνα… I want to tell you about a new friend of
mine. Her name is Olga, she is my age and
we’re in the same class. As you can see
from the photo, she’s got long fair hair,
brown eyes and a friendly face with a
beautiful smile. She’s not very tall but
she’s slim and fit.

I met her on the first day of school. I went and talked to her when I realised she was new. Before she moved to my town, Olga lived in Kiev – that’s in the Ukraine. Her parents are very likeable
and friendly. Her dad has got a business here and her mum works in a supermarket. Her brother is called Alex and he’s just like my own brother: funny!

Olga and I sit together in class. She’s very good at maths – not like me! I help her with her Greek when she doesn’t understand something. I think we make a very good team. We do many things together. We listen to the same kind of music. Her favourite band
is U2. She’s got some great CDs.

When she first came to school, some boys in the class made fun of her, which was not so nice. But she talks to everyone – even to those horrible boys. She’s a very friendly person and we really understand each other. When I’m sad, she knows I need somebody
to talk to and she’s always there for me! Sometimes she is a bit shy but so am I.

Olga may not be from Greece but I don’t care because we have a lot of things in common and it’s never boring when we’re together. I like her very much. She’s great! I’m really glad that I met her.

USEFUL TIPS

paragraphs. Decide on an order for them.
3. Think of an interesting beginning and ending.
4. Use details and adjectives. They make a
description more vivid.
5. Reread your text after you have finished and think
about what else might be interesting for the reader.
6. Check your text for spelling and grammar
mistakes.

3.1 Read what two other students say about their countries. What aspects of their culture are they talking about? Εικόνα

 

ΕικόναHello everyone! I’m Yoko. I’m from Tokyo, the capital city of Japan. The customs of my country are somewhat different from those of the countries of the West. For example, we bow to greet someone and we don’t like standing too close to each other. If you say ‘Ohay gozaimasu’ to someone, you mean ‘Good morning’, and
we young people often say ‘Genki?’ which means ‘Are you well?’. Body language is very important, too. If you shake your hand from side to side, you mean ‘no’ and pointing to your nose means ‘me’. You all know traditional Japanese dishes such as sushi, tempura and noodles and you probably
know that we use chopsticks to eat our meals. We eat sitting on mats on the floor, therefore, our floors have to be very clean. To keep them clean, we always take off our shoes and change into special slippers when we enter the house.
Sports that are very popular in Japan include judo, kendo, karate and sumo wrestling, our national sport, which has a history of more than 1,000 years! Young people also enjoy baseball, football, volleyball and tennis. Finally, two forms
of traditional Japanese theatre, Noh and Kabuki, continue to thrive in my country today…

Εικόνα‘Salut’, I’m Pierre and I’m from Paris, the capital city of France! In my country we say ‘Bonjour’ for ‘Good morning’ and ‘Comment allez-vous?
for ‘How are you?’. Like Spanish people,
when we greet each other, we shake hands and usually kiss 3 times! We’re one of the largest
producers of wine in the world and famous for our ‘haute cuisine’. One taste of a crêpe or a croissant, and you’ll never forget it! The French love doing sport and keeping fit. Some of the most popular sports in my country are football, cycling, skiing, tennis and pétanque – a traditional game played with metal balls. Culture and the arts are
extremely important in our everyday life. We celebrate local festivals through music and dance throughout the year. We also appreciate a visit to the theatre, the opera or the many famous museums, such as the Louvre, home to
the world-famous painting ‘Mona Lisa’, or the Orsay museum to admire the paintings of Renoir, Monet and Degas, some of the greatest Impressionist artists. ...

a) Where is it?      
b)How old is it?      
c) Who designed it?      
d)What is its most
striking feature?
     

 

The "Church of Holy Wisdom", also called Agia Sophia, is in Constantinople – now Istanbul. It was built by the emperor Justinian after the riots of AD 532. Anthemios and Isidoros were two of the Greek architects who designed it. It took six years to build and about ten thousand men worked on it. The first stone of the foundations was laid by the emperor himself. The building had brick walls, marble linings inside, amazing mosaics made up of tiny cubes of coloured glass, marble or gold and massive marble pillars. Of all its fascinating features though, perhaps the most remarkable is its huge, shallow dome, supported on piers made of limestone. There are also smaller half-domes around the largest, supported by arches - a typical feature of Byzantine design for big buildings. Agia Sophia is well over 45m high and over 60m long and wide. Today we are accustomed to seeing buildings as large as this, sometimes even larger. But in Justinian’s time, Agia Sophia must have been truly awe-inspiring.

The famous Leaning Tower of Pisa is the bell tower of the cathedral in the city of Pisa, in Italy. Its height is 55.8m, it has 8 storeys and there are 294 steps to the top. Construction began in 1173 and it took 200 years to complete. The architect’s identity is still unknown, but we do know that he designed the tower to be vertical. After the third floor was built, the tower started to lean, mainly because its foundation was shallow – only 3 metres – and in weak soil. The Pisans stopped construction twice – for almost 100 years each time – because they were busy fighting battles with other Italian cities! In 1372, the tower was completed and seven bells were installed, one for each note of the musical scale. Over the years, there have been many attempts to straighten it, or halt the leaning. This was not as easy as it seemed. Some of those attempts had exactly the opposite result: the tower sank even further into the soil! The latest attempt was completed in 2001 and took ten years. The tower has been declared stable for at least another 300 years.

LESSON 3 • DIFFERENT PLACES - DIFFERENT BUILDINGS

 

The Sydney Opera House is located in Sydney, Australia and is one of the most distinctive and famous 20th century buildings. It is also one of the world’s most famous performing arts venues and since its opening, it has become a symbol of Sydney. Designed by Danish architect Jo/rn Utzon, it reaches out into Sydney Harbour and its spectacular roof
reminds us of a moving ship at full sail! Construction began in March 1959 and it was completed in 1973 at a cost of $102 million! It is very large (183m x 120m) and it is supported on 580 concrete piers sunk up to 25m below sea level. The roofs of the House are constructed of 1,056,000 white granite tiles and the interior is composed of pink granite and wood. It has about 1,000 rooms, 5 theatres, 5 rehearsal studios, 2 main halls and a multitude of restaurants, bars
and souvenir shops. What you may not be aware of is that you’ve probably seen this breathtaking structure featured in films such as"Mission Impossible II", "Independence Day", "Finding Nemo" and many more!
