4 Text

4.1 Look through the text and identify the paragraphs and sentences which help to understand the title of the text and its main idea.

The Language of Clothes

The history of clothing is very complex and as long as the history of human civilization. Clothing doesn’t only cover the human body and keeps people warm or cool; it also has its social, cultural and emotional values. Clothes of poor people in Russia, England, France, Spain or China as well as in many other countries always differed greatly from clothes of rich people. From the ancient times clothing showed the social status of a person, his occupation, ideal, taste and sometimes social ideas the person followed. At the same time clothes have shown variations between one country or one region and another.

There was no uniformity of style in clothes as it is today. Many countries had their national costumes and created their fashions. In the 17 thcentury France dictated fashion in Europe but in the 18-19 thcenturies the influence of the English fashion became stronger and stronger especially in the fashion for men. England gave a birth to the famous tailored costume with its elegant lines which is still very popular. We may say that the country dominating in Europe dictated fashion and style in clothes but mainly among the aristocracy.

Has anything changed in our century? Today the variations in clothing are disappearing and there is a tendency towards a uniformity of style. The fashion became international.

But clothing as it was earlier can tell people very much about a wearer.

Long before we are near enough to talk on the street, in a meeting or at a party we announce our sex, age and class through what we are wearing - and often give information (or misinformation) about our occupation, origin, personality, tastes and our current mood.

For thousands of years human beings have communicated with one another first in the language of dress. Shabbily dressed people are more apt to be treated shabbily. A man in a clean well pressed suit is likely to be helped up sooner than one in filthy tatters.

A person can look ridiculous in expensive fashionable clothes if he follows fashion without taking into account his age, occupation, figure or colour combinations, i. e. when he lacks good taste.

Being an inseparable part of human life clothes can make a person feel happy and self-confident or miserable, unhappy and ill at ease. The influence of clothes on the feelings of a person is very strong.

Very often, as it was mentioned above, you can find out from the first glance what kind of person you are dealing with; what group of the society he belongs to; what ideas he follows. The language of clothes is very expressive and you should learn it!

4.1.1 Read the text for detailed comprehension. a) Express the main idea of each paragraph in one or two sentences. b) Say why the author use such words as: a person, a man, a wearer, a human being, human beings in most sentences of the text. c) Say what information in the text is new to you.

4) Today the variations in clothing are disappearing and (наблюдается тенденция к единообразию стиля).

5) Very often, as it was mentioned above, you can find out from the first glance (с каким человеком вы имеете дело; к какой группе общества он принадлежит).

6) A person can look ridiculous in expensive fashionable clothes (если ему недостаёт хорошего вкуса).

7) England gave a birth to the famous tailored costume with its elegant lines (который всё ещё популярен).

8) In the 17 thcentury France dictated fashion in Europe but in the 18-19 thcenturies (влияние английской моды становилось всё сильнее и сильнее, особенно в одежде для мужчин).

2) What ideas expressed in the text ‘The Language of Clothes’ do the selections prove?

1 Cedric the Saxon wore a tunic of forest green, furred at the throat, which hung over a close scarlet dress. His feet were in sandals with gold clasps. He had bracelets of gold upon his arms and a broad collar of the same metal round his neck. A short sword hung perpendicularly by his side.

2 The elder of these men had a stern wild aspect. His dress was very simple-a long jacket with sleeves made of the skin of some animal, a broad leathern belt with a horn and a long broad knife at the waist. He had sandals on his feet but his head was bare. His thick hair was of a dark - red colour forming a contrast with his long yellow beard. The man had a brass ring, like a dog’s collar, round his neck with the inscription “Jurth, the son of Beowulph, is the born serf of Celtic of Rotherwood”.

3 The other person was about ten years younger in appearance, whose dress was of better materials and more fantastic. His jacket was bright purple; his short crimson cloak was lined with yellow. He had silver bracelets upon his arms, and on his neck was a collar of the same metal with the inscription: “Wamba, the son of Witless, is the serf of Cedric of Rotherwood”. He had a cap with bells on it, which jingled as he turned his head to one side or another. It was the dress of a domestic clown or jester.

4 The companion of the churchman was a man past forty, thin, strong, tall and muscular. On his head he wore a scarlet cap, faced with fur. His upper dress was a long scarlet mantle, with a white cross on his right shoulder. Under his mantle was a shirt of linked mail, with sleeves and gloves of the same material. His knees and feet were protected by thin plates of steel and his legs were also covered with linked mail. A long dagger was the only weapon about this person.

5 Rowena was tall and formed in the best proportions of her sex. She was fair and her clean blue eyes seemed capable of commanding as well as of begging. Her beautiful hair was arranged in free locks. A gold chain hung round her neck and she wore gold bracelets on her arms. Her dress was of pale sea-green silk, over which hung a long crimson robe, with a veil of silk attached to the upper part of it.

6 His suit was of a striped and crossed pattern of brown wool, new at that time, but since became familiar as a business suit. The low crotch of the vest revealed a stiff shirt bosom of white and pink stripes. From his coat sleeves protruded a pair of linen cuffs of the same pattern, fastened with large, gold plate buttons set with the common yellow agates known as “cat’s-eyes”. His fingers bore several rings - one, the ... heavy seal - and from his vest dangled a neat gold watch chain ... . the whole suit was rather tight-fitting, and was finished off with heavy-soled tan shoes, highly polished, and the grey fedora hat.

7 A woman should some day write the complete philosophy of clothes. No matter how young, it is one of the things she wholly comprehends. There is a faint line in the matter of man’s apparel which somehow divides for her those who are worth glancing at and those who are not. There is another line at which the dress of a man will cause her to study her own ... . She became conscious of an inequality. Her own plain blue dress, with its black cotton tape trimmings, now seemed to her shabby. She felt the worn state of her shoes.

4.1.8 Read the text and ask “Wh” - questions for the partner to answer and to discuss the main points of the text. Think of its title.

New words: to be at a loss - быть в растерянности; to alter - переделывать; straight - прямой; to match - гармонировать (по цвету); skillful - искусный, умелый; to be proud - гордиться.

Kathy Fillmore was giving a party Saturday night and invited Milly to this party. Her mother, Nora, was at a loss. Their family was poor but Milly must have a new dress, Nora thought. When a girl is young and she goes to her first party with the first boy that she really likes, she should have a new dress. Nora was sorry she had no money saved to buy her daughter a new dress. The following days Milly came home as early as she could and sat up until almost two, altering the blue dress. When it was finished, it did not look the same dress. It was tight - fitting, open at the neck, with a straight skirt. The sleeves were short and it fitted Milly wonderfully. The belt was a darker colour and it matched the dress very well. Milly put some flowers on, and that turned the dress into a real piece of beauty.

In her heart Nora was proud that her daughter’s skillful hands had turned the dress into something that looked no worse than the dresses worn by the girls that came from rich families.
