Dictation practice 5th Form Ms. Eugenia- Ms. Florencia

Faces Through the Ages Did Helen of Troy have the most beautiful face ever? Who was the prettiest woman? Who was the most handsome man?

We can´t answer these questions because our idea of beauty changes with time.

In fifteenth-century Europe, blond hair was fashionable and some women sat in the sun for hours to get their hair blonder.

In the next century, women started to wear curly wigs. They also used make-up to make their faces paler and their cheeks redder.

By the eighteenth century, men had wigs and pale faces, too! Women´s hairstyles became bigger and stranger; the strangest ones were a metre tall with feathers and fruit! END
