BODIES

1 People decorate their bodies for
many reasons. They also decorate in
different ways. Some groups of
people have decorated their bodies
for thousands of years. Other people
want to look attractive. Other people
want to belong to a group.

PRESENTATION TITLE 2
2 Some people decorate their lips,
ears, and neck to be beautiful. For
example, in Africa, the Surmese
women wear a plate in their bottom
lip. How do they do this? First a
mother makes a hole in her
daughter's bottom lip. Then she
stretches her lips. Then she puts a
small plate in it. As the daughter
gets older, she puts in bigger and
bigger plates. Other people in
Africa put plates in their ears. They
want the bottom of their ears to
hang to their shoulders.

3 The Pa Daung women in
Myanmar are called "giraffe
women." They have long necks,
like giraffes. The women wear
metal rings to stretch their
necks. They wear more rings as
they get older. Their necks
become longer. Their necks are
sometimes two or three times
big then normal size. Some
women die if they take off the
rings. 
4 PEOPLE ALSO DECORATE THEIR TEETH TO BE
BEAUTIFUL. MANY AMERICANS AND
EUROPEANS LIKE WHITE, STRAIGHT TEETH.
THEY SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX AND
"CLEAN" THEIR TEETH. THIS IS NOT TRUE IN
OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. IN EAST AFRICA,
SOME PEOPLE PULL OUT THEIR BOTTOM TEETH.
THEY WANT THEIR TOP TEETH TO STICK OUT. IN
SOME PARTS OF ASIA, WOMEN USED TO PAINT
THEIR TEETH BLACK TO LOOK. BEAUTIFUL.
TODAY, YOUNG PEOPLE DO NOT DO THIS. IN
INDONESIA, BOYS AND GIRLS FILE THEIR
TEETH. A PERSON WITH FILED TEETH WILL
HAVE A GOOD AND HEALTHY LIFE.

PRESENTATION TITLE 5
5 People around the world always like tattoos.
Europeans learned about tattoos around 1770. A
famous English explorer named Captain Cook
went to Tahiti. He saw people there with tattoos.
The Tahitians called the decoration tatou. From
this, we get the word tattoo. The Tahitians taught
Cook and his sailors how to make tattoos. The
sailors returned to England, and other people liked
their tattoos. Soon tattoos spread to the rest of
Europe. Many sailors still have tattoos. Today,
many different types of people have tattoos. For
some people, body decorations are attractive. For
other people, they are strange.
