I hope you enjoyed the class talking about what changes you have made to your appearance and talking about different celebrity looks. After this class you should be able to describe someone's appearance, and also be able to talk about your own appearance and past looks. The focus of the lesson was to use passive voice to talk about getting beauty treatment. (using active makes it sound as if you did it to yourself).
For some light hearted humour follow this link. Dove Video.
Passive Voice
subject + have/get + pronoun + object + past participle (verb).
The focus of the class was to be able to talk about having / getting something done.
Examples
I had my hair cut not
I got my nails manicured. not
the verb have or get shows the tense of the sentence (like the verb to be does in unit 2).
I'm going to get my hair permed next weekend.
I get my hair highlighted every summer.
However, sometimes you need to use the active voice.
For instance, when you talk about your beard or shaving-things you do yourself.
I shaved off my mustache.
I grew a beard.
(these things you do yourself)
