9 Read the text. Ask your group-mate all types of questions. Man and his appearance

Our planet is populated by representatives of different nations and nationalities whose number exceeds 5 billion. And you can hardly find two persons who are absolutely alike in appearance. Such person has his or her own peculiar features.

Through sometimes you may come across two persons who greatly resemble each other both in appearance and manners.

To my mind the most important thing worthy to speak of is man's eyes. They may be of various colour and shade — blue, hazel, grey and even green. Most people have regular features: an oval face, a straight, aquiline or snubbish nose, a large or low forehead, regular or bushy eye-brows, long or short lashes, black, dark or fair hair, long or short-cut hair. People can be slender or fat, tall or short, they can have big or small eyes and ears. Their arms can also be short or long, their fingers can be either long and thin or short and stout. Their nails can be long or short. But whatever appearance they may have their temper always tells on it greatly. If they are gay and good-natured, a gentle smile is their 1ife-long companion. If they are rude and unsociable they have a hard look and no smile ever sparkles on their face.

Man's face often speaks better than thousands of words. Sometimes silence may be the source of inspiration, sympathy and peace. Though not a word is pronounced, how much can be told by a gentle and knowing look. Many people appreciate silence greatly and it is not by chance that a proverb was born in all European languages. In English it reads: “Word is silver, silence is gold”. They say, one of the greatest merits of a man is his ability to listen to others. Such people are said to have good manners or they are well-bred.
