L istening ComprehensionListen to Part 1 of a radio program about men’s hairstyles. Then read the statements and listen again. Complete the statements, according to the information in the program.1. a2. b3. aScript T44Part 1 [C = Chuck Sims, host; S = Susan Yiga1, Australia]C: Chuck Sims here, and you’re listening to In Style. Today we welcome Susan Yiga1,a hairstylist who does a lot of work forthe film industry. Susan has wonnumerous awards for her beautiful work. S: Oh, thanks.C: Susan, I love your work. So many movies. So many gorgeous actors.S: Thank you, Chuck. Great to be here.C: Susan is an expert on the history of hairstyles, and today we’re going to focus on men’s hairstyl es. Susan, tell us something about how men’s hairstyles changed in the twentieth century.S: Absolutely. But before I do, let’s not forget some of the styles that were in fashion before the twentieth century.Remember that back in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, among the European upper classes, the wig was a fashion must. Everyone wore one.C: Think wigs will ever come back?S: These days, you never know. Do you know why they became so fashionable? C: Not really.S: Well, you see, in the seventeenth century,King Louis XIV of France was going bald –so he had a staff of about forty wig makers working on long curly wigs for him to wear.C: Forty wig makers!S: Yes. And of course it then became the rage for all men to wear long curly wigs –until the nineteenth century. At that time, the style changed, and men stopped wearing wigs by the beginning of the nineteenth century. After that, they generally wore their own hair fair fairly long, and most men wore very long beards or sideburns.C: Which we see in some of the very early photos from that time.S: Right. But by the early twentieth century, that had changed. The norm for men was to wear their hair cut very, very short. And beards were something only grandfathers wore. If a man wore a mustache at all, it was cut very short.C: Until the 1960s and’70s, of course.S: Of course.B. Read the following statements and listen to Part 2 again. Complete the statements, according to the information in the program.1. b2. a3. cScriptPart 2S: By the 1960s, in Europe and throughout the Americas, men began to wear their hair long, and they grew beards and mustaches –pretty much as a protest against decades of what they saw as a very conservative culture.C: I remember that.S: At that time there had been an unwritten fashion code that said any man who didn’t wearhis hair very short – or who had a beard –was a radical.C: That’s hard to believe today.S: But that’s how it was. In the UK and the U.S., rock musicians led the way with hair, and mustaches seeming to get longer each year.C: Men today don’t always realize what an incredible change that was. Isn’t that true? S: Absolutely. How a man wore his hair wasa social and political statement. Buttoday, men’s hair fashions are all over the place – which was certainly not true back then. Men can wear their hair either long or short. Anything goes.C: Ponytails. Braids.S: Yup. A short beard or moustache.C: The goatee has been the beard of choice for a number of years now.S: And, of course, the bald look has become very popular now. Who would have thought twenty years ago that men would actually choose to shave off alltheir hair! No way!C: Any other trends worth looking at?S: Well, we haven’t said anything yet about men dyeing their hair. Over the last decade some men have chosen to dye their hair bright blond, red, yellow –even green or purple.C: Yeah, as a matter of fact, I saw that last time I was in Tokyo.S: That’s right. I’ve heard that in Japan this is a kind of social statement in response to strict school dress codes.C: Well, thank you, Susan, for … ahem …letting your hair down about a very interesting subject.S: Good one, Chuck. Thanks for having me.Teaching suggestionsStep 1Have a volunteer read the statements and answer choices out loud.
