Face values
When it comes to ‘face values’, what will you think of?
Money
Stamps
Generally speaking, Face values can tell the real value/ price of money and stamps.
the value of a stamp, coin, ticket which is shown on the front of it
(邮票、钱币、票等的)票面价值,面值
Nowadays, a person’s appearance can also be called face value.
Some apps can even give a score on your face value.
However, can a person’s face value/ score really tell his or her personality?
Look at the pictures and answer the questions.
1. What can you see in the three pictures?
2. What does each of the pictures tell you about the characters?
3. What can you learn from the pictures?
In the first picture, there are four yellow ducklings standing together, one grey duckling standing alone and a swan flying in the sky.
2. What do the pictures tell you about the characters?
In this picture, the grey duckling may feel lonely and different, and unfairly left out by the other ducklings because of the way it looks. Perhaps it dreams of becoming a beautiful and graceful swan one day.
2. What do the pictures tell you about the characters?
In this picture, the tiger looks gentle, sweet and thoughtful(温柔、甜蜜、体贴), showing its delicate and vulnerable (脆弱的) side.
In the second picture, there is a tiger who is smelling a red flower.
In the third picture, there is a cat who is looking in the mirror and imagining itself as a lion.
1. What can you see in the three pictures?
2. What do the pictures tell you about the characters?
In this picture, even though the cat is small, it sees itself as being strong and powerful(强有力的), like a lion.
The ugly little duck who admires the beauty of swans
Although small in size, the cat has a big ambition, which was reflected as a lion in the mirror.
A soft and gentle heart can be hidden under a fierce appearance.
In me the tiger sniffs the rose.
— Siegfried Sassoon, England
心有猛虎细嗅蔷薇。—余光中
3. What can you learn from the pictures?
Don’t judge someone by their appearance, but look beyond it to find their inner beauty.
It’s okay to show your vulnerable side sometimes.
Don’t let the way you look stop you from achieving your dreams and ambitions.
It’s a pretty person’s world?
