THE NEW BEAUTIFUL:


ar

the stories of four unusual models


Pe

Students often bully their classmates and say hurtful things about the way they look, the way they dress or
because they think some kids just aren’t ‘cool enough’. Being bullied can make people feel like they’ll never
be popular. But here are the stories of four supermodels who prove this isn’t true, who challenge bullying and
who are helping to change our ideas of beauty, success and popularity.

Connor Newall didn’t have a great start to life. He was born in a poor part of Glasgow in Scotland, and, at only 1.78
metres, he is average height for a man – not tall enough to be a supermodel. He wanted to be a soldier like his brother,
but when he was sixteen, a woman went to his school to look for a boy to be in a short educational film. She saw
Connor and chose him. She also sent a photo of this very different-looking boy to a modelling agent, who phoned him
that day to say he wanted to work with him. It is because of his large ears and unique face that he is now one of the
most successful models around.

Nyle DiMarco became famous in the USA when he won a TV programme looking for new supermodels. He was only
the second man to win the programme in twelve years, but that’s not why Nyle is special. He, like most of his family,
cannot hear; his first language is American Sign Language. Nyle uses being a famous deaf model to speak out for deaf
people. He sometimes makes YouTube videos talking about deaf people’s problems such as enjoying the cinema.

Winnie Harlow and Nyakim Gatwech are both female models who have become famous for having very unusual looks.
Winnie Harlow has a skin condition making her skin two different colours. This was a problem for her, but now it helps her
in her job! Nyakim is from Africa and her skin is so dark it’s almost black. Both Winnie and Nyakim experienced bullying
because of their skin but now they are supermodels. What a powerful lesson for all!

8 Modern idioms www.frenglish.ru

Where do new idioms come from?


As Units 15-24 show, many English idioms have very deep roots in history and culture.
They have their origins in traditional skills, such as sailing (Unit 14), and in such areas as
war (Unit 15), ancient myths (Unit 20) and literature (Unit 22).
However, new idioms evolve all the time from TV, advertising, politics and business. These
idioms often quickly become expressions understood and used by many people in their
everyday lives. Some of these idioms will be popular for a few years but then get forgotten;
others may last. In this unit, we look at some examples of common, but relatively new, idioms.

Some modern idioms


example I meaning
Is Madonna still the first lady of pop? the expert, or the best (by analogy with how the wife of a US
president is referred to as the First Lady)

This programme looks at one couple 's People frequently refer to difficult people or unpopular
experience of living next to neighbours things as being the .. . from hell, e.g. the neighbours from hell
from hell. or the airport from hell.

It doesn't float my boat! I don't agree with what you like or are interested in. (Also
Whatever floats your boat!)

I'm fed up with him big time./ He's into extremely


judo big time.

Modern conversational fixed expressions


If you do not want to discuss anything further, you can say 'That's it! End of (story)!'
If you think that someone is telling you about very personal things that you do not want to
hear about, you can stop them by saying 'Too much information!'
lf a friend starts talking about a subject you do not want to discuss, you could respond
'Don't even go there!'

11 Proverbs www.frenglish.ru

Proverbs are short sentences which refer to something most people have experienced and
which give advice or warnings. Like id ioms, their form is fixed, and it is not always possible
to guess the meaning from looking at the individual words.

Positive situations

first speaker says.
A: We all want to solve this problem, and I'm sure we'll find a solution.
B: Yes. Where there's a will, there's a way. [if we really want to achieve something, we can]

A: Josh found it impossible to get a new job, so he set up his own business instead.
B: Yes, well, necessity is the mother of invention. [if people really need to do something,
they will find a way to do it]

In these conversations, the second speaker uses a proverb to repeat and sum up what the
first speake r says.
A: Marta ended her relationship with Jakob, and the next day her friend Ellie met Jakob
for a drink.
B: All's fair in love and war! [all behaviour is acceptable in extreme situations, especially in
romantic situations and competitions]

B: It never rains but it pours. [problems always happen together]

12 Cliches and fixed statements
Cliches
A cliche is a comment that is often used in certain common, everyday situations. It is a
comment that most people are familiar with and is therefore not original. Cliches are often
used in everyday conversation, and they are also frequently played with in advertising
slogans and newspaper headlines.
There are plenty more fish in the sea. [There are plenty more people or possibilities. Often
used to cheer up someone who has found one person or opportunity unsuccessful.]
Look on the bright side. [Try to see something good in a bad situation. This is usually followed by
an explanation of what the bright side might be, e.g. after failing a job interview you are told that you
probably wouldn't have enjoyed the job if you'd got it.]
It's easy to be wise after the event or Hindsight is a wonderful thing. [When you know
what happens next, it's easy to say what you or others should have done.]
It's not over until the fat lady sings. [You cannot be sure what will happen until the very end
of something, often a sports event. The expression refers to a long opera which ends with a female
singing the final song.]
Enough is as good as a feast. [You shouldn't have more of something than you need, e.g. food.]
Ignorance is bliss. [You may be happier sometimes when you do not know all the facts about a
situation.]
You can lead a horse to water {but you can't make it drink). [You can give someone the
opportunity to do something, but you cannot force them to do it. The second part of the idiom (but
you can't make it drink) is often not actually said .]
Truth will out! [The truth will always become known.]

Fixed statements
fixed statement I meaning
Get your skates on! (informal) Hurry up!

I'll believe it when I see it. I'm doubtful that it will happen.

Mum's the word. (informal) I promise not to tell a secret.

Good riddance! (informal) I'm happy something or someone has gone.

Take it easy! Calm down! Relax!

Fair's fair. (informal) Their behaviour is reasonable.
