1. Beauty

Everyone admires beauty. Everyone has his own standard about beauty.

Nowadays some people tend to think that they own beauty if they have a good looking. They are not satisfied with their appearance. They spend much money taking a kind of operation. I don't think beauty can be man-made. If so, everybody can get beauty. As a result, there is no beauty at all. The appearance is given by our parents and is unique in the world. Everyone should value it. I would rather view nature as the standard of beauty. Just accept ourselves, and create the beautiful life belonging to us.

Many heroes don't have beautiful surface. However, their beautiful images often come to our minds. Their beauty comes from their contributions to the society. Don't be eager to judge whether a person is beautiful or not, without a thorough understanding of him. A beautiful person is not the one with a good looking, but with a kind heart.

Good looking is pleasant while spiritual (精神) beauty is more important. As an old saying goes, \beauty. \

2. Contest

beauty contest

I think beauty contest does more harm than good. To start with ,it may lead players lack of confidence even to have a plastic surgery.What's more , It may mislead their value system.the winner in the competition could get a lot of things, like money, fame, social awareness and so on. Then,it may cause the female pay too much attention to appearance, They may spending more time and money on fashion, cosmetics, hair styling and even cosmetic surgery . But ignore the inner beauty ,the true beauty. Finally, beauty contests are usually carried out within a period of time，we can not judge a person's beauty and ugliness, and good or bad in this limited time. So I think beauty contest does more harm than good.

3. Appearance

In what ways can people improve their appearance?

Some people just want to improve their looks in small ways. They may go on a diet to maintain a good figure, they make up to improve their appearance, put a facial mask or skin smoother on their faces during the night, have their teeth straightened, or have their nails polished. Some others have a face-lift to change their nose or chin, make their single-fold eyelids double folded, and have their skin tightened to smooth out wrinkles and crow’s feet. Some even inject botox(瘦脸针) to remove wrinkles. More drastically, some people may have liposuction to remove fat.But,in my opinion the best way to improve appearance is trying to learn to be more elegant and to be more Knowledgeable.

disasters in the future.

Some beautifying methods, if not properly applied, have dangerous side effects. People who receive botox injections to remove wrinkles may eventually ruin their skin. Some surgical operations that are intended to make single-fold eyelids double fold actually make them multi-folded-not what the patient had in mind. ?

My View on Plastic Surgery:

In recent years, more and more people, especially some young girls choose to take plastic surgeries. Some people argue that this kind of surgery can improve one's appearance, thus secure a good job. Others hold a different opinion, they consider plastic surgery as a waste of money. Personally, I agree with the latter.

To start with, beauty is only skin-deep, as the saying goes, virtue is more important than appearance. Plastic surgery cannot improve one's character. Who do you think is more popular, an ordinary girl with charming personality, or a beautiful girl with arrogant manner? What's more , success relies on one's abilities but not appearance. Some people, especially young girls dream to find a good job after taking plastic surgery. For example, it takes one at least 30,000 Yuan to have double eyelid. Finally, people have to bear the risks of an unsuccessful surgery which will be a lifelong pain. All in all, it is not advisable for people to take plastic surgeries. We can get what we want by improving our inner qualities, such as our personality and ability, and there is no need to endure the pains and economic loss of a plastic surgery.
