Тема6 Types of haircuts. Виды стрижек . Task1 Some facts from the History of haircuts. What do you know about the History of haircuts or hairdressing? Read the text about the History of haircuts and their variety in the past and present. Hair has played an important and varied role in the life of people since early times. Hairstyle became an inseparable element of fashion. Its form changed depending on the taste of the period, tradition and on geographical and social conditions. From early times, people tried to emphasize their exceptionality and position by means of unusual or impressive hairstyles. Roman coins provide an extraordinary gallery of hairstyle fashions. The way of arranging the hair on female coin portraits from the period of the Roman Empire helps with identifying and dating individual coins. Similarly, we can chronologically determine the type of hairstyle by comparison with pictorial or sculptured portraits of women. Coin portraits of empresses on coins show remarkable craft skill and artistic creativity. They accurately reflect the style of their time and the appearance of the individual ladies. They owe their extraordinary appearance to skillful hairdressers. Their art is proved by the artistic hairstyles of the women from the simplest to the complex, which their coin portraits show us. The Romans had simple hairstyles in the period of the Roman Republic of the centuries before our era. Men originally had long hair, but later short hair became fashionable. Young girls wore their hair combed down to the neck, strengthened with ribbons and hairpins, plaited or tied into a bun. Married Roman women had their hair combed up into a hairstyle called a tutus. At the beginning of the Empire, in the first decades of our era, Roman women wore hairstyles with a parting along the middle of the head. Curly hair was rolled up into ringlets during sleep. In the first century of our era, striking and complex high hairstyles came into fashion. They were composed of curls arranged in steps above the forehead, so that they formed a rich headband. Various hairpins, flowers, garlands and diadems emphasized the striking character of the hairstyle. At the end of the 2-nd century, lightly waved hair framing the face, with the hair plaited at the back, tied in a bun or wound around the head in the form of a diadem, were modern. Some very rare gold aurei of the Empress Marciana (died AD 114), sister of the Emperor Trajan (AD 98 – 117), bear her portrait with a high, combed up hair and a coronet above her forehead (fig.1). The portraits of Sabina (died 136), wife of the Emperor Hadrian (117 – 138) are characterized by rich variation of hairstyles. Apart from simple plaited hair, there are highly combed up hairstyles decorated with a diadem or veils (fig.2). Faustina Senior (died 141), wife of Antoninus Pius (138-161) was notable for her beauty and wisdom. When her husband came to the throne, she gained the title „Augusta“ and is depicted on coins as a woman of a mature age. The numerous coins with her portrait show her with highly combed up hair, decorated with a pearl embroidered coronet, sometimes with a veil (fig. 3). The daughter of Faustina Senior was Faustina Junior (died 175), who married the young Emperor Marcus. Answer some questions on the text: What did you learn about the History of hairstyle?

Grammar study Imperative mood . Повелительное наклонение в английском языке. Повелительное наклонение в английском языке используется для побуждения человека к какому-либо действию. Глаголы в повелительном наклонении могут выражать приказ, команду, предложение, предупреждение, инструктаж или просьбу, если вы используете при этом слово «please» (пожалуйста). Повелительное наклонение одно из трех наклонений глаголов в английском языке, наряду с изъявительным и сослагательным. Пример: - Give me this sheet of paper, please (Дайте мне этот листок бумаги, пожалуйста). Чтобы получить глагол в повелительном наклонении (императив) необходимо использовать инфинитив без частицы to, то есть базовую/начальную форму глагола (или словарную форму). Например: - Go there! (Идите туда!). - Sit down! (Сядьте!). Для образования отрицательных повелительных предложений необходимо перед глаголом в повелительном наклонении поставить «do not» или «don’t». Например: - Don’t smoke (Не курите!). - Do not walk here (Не ходите здесь!). Для побуждения группы лиц, в которую входит и сам говорящий, можно использовать перед императивом фразу «let’s» (давайте) или «let’s not» (давайте не), если предложение отрицательное. Например: - Let’s do it! (Давайте сделаем это!). - Let’s have some breakfast (Давайте немного позавтракаем). - Let`s not argue (Давайте не будем злиться). - Let’s not speak about this mistake (Давайте не будем говорить по поводу этой ошибки). Приказание Взрослые люди, как правило, не отдают друг другу приказы, исключая случаи, когда этого требует служебное положение или позиция власти. В то же время взрослые могут отдавать приказания детям или животным. Здесь очень важна интонация, зависящая от порядка слов: каждое слово подчеркивается, а общий тон спадает на конец предложения. Например: - Stop it now! (Прекрати это немедленно!). В данном случае слова «stop» (прекрати), «it» (это) и «now» (немедленно) являются все подчеркнутыми, а общий акцент спадает на слове «now». Предупреждение Повелительные предложения также используются при необходимости предупредить кого-либо об опасности. Все слова в предупреждении подчеркиваются интонацией, однако последнее слово произносится с большим акцентом, нежели первое. Например: - Don’t cross the road! (Не переходите дорогу!). - Look out! (Осторожно!). - Watch out! (Берегитесь!). Совет При даче совета с использованием повелительного наклонения слова подчеркиваются интонацией умеренно. Например: - Don’t tell her you are retiring now. Wait until tomorrow when she will in better mood (Не говорите ей, что вы увольняетесь. Подождите до завтра, когда она будет в более хорошем настроении). - Don’t drink too much coffee. (Не пейте слишком много кофе). - Don’t smoke in the subway (Не курите в метро). Просьба Повелительное наклонение может употребляться и при составлении просьбы, но в этом случае перед глаголом необходимо поставить вежливое слово (в большинстве случаев «please» - пожалуйста). Например: - Please wait train here (Пожалуйста, ждите поезд здесь). - Please don’t smoke in the room (Пожалуйста, не курите в комнате). - Please don’t drink alcohol when you are driving (Пожалуйста, не пейте спиртного когда находитесь за рулем). - Please show me this film (Пожалуйста, покажите мне этот фильм). Обратите внимание, что в повелительных предложениях не требуется подлежащее. Местоимение «you» (вы) в них подразумевается само по себе.   Have a look at the variety of haircuts!
