。

BIG
IDEA
,
No,I think people should't worry too much
about their looks.That's because looks are not
everything.What really matters is what's inside
a person.Being kind,honest,and having a good character is much more important than having a
perfect look. v. 评判
It's said,“Don't judge by appearances;a rich heart may be under a poor coat." n.外貌
