It's all about ME!
“Me”.It's a small word with big meaning,and that meaning is as individual to each of us as the way we look.Through interviews,I was able to discover what “me”means to other people,and how they have learnt to appreciate the beauty in themselves.[1]
Psychologist,Dr Hart
[1]本句为主从复合句。what与how引导并列的宾语从句。
Jade,24,accounting manager
As a song in Ugly Betty puts it,“It's a pretty person's world”.[2]I understand this more than most,as I have always been plain-looking.[3]I'm a girl who'd love to look good.Well,who wouldn't?So,ever since I discovered selfie apps that could remove my freckles①,enlarge② my eyes and even slim my jawline③,I have become addicted④.I spend hours every day editing⑤ my selfies,posting⑥ them and eagerly checking my phone a hundred times for comments⑦.Each “like”boosts⑧ my confidence.Dad thinks I am a narcissist⑨,but what I say is that my pictures aren't hurting anyone,so who cares?[4]

I never really cared about my appearance.That's why I could never understand my sister,who has 17 lipsticks⑭and can't decide which one to use every morning.[6]I only used to have five identical⑮pairs of trousers and five

identical shirts.When I first moved into my dormitory⑯at college,this made my roommates⑰quite confused as they saw me in the same clothes day after day.Last month they registered me for a TV programme,A New You.It felt bizarre⑱at first.I didn't like being reviewed from head to toe⑲.But I was surprised at how good I looked after the makeover⑳!For the first time in my life I saw myself as a handsome and well-presented young man.At that moment,I perceived that external beauty isn't totally worthless.It can be an expression of our personalities,helping us make a good and positive impression on others.
[6]本句为主从复合句。why引导表语从句,who引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词my sister。
Dr Hart says:
It's true that inner beauty is very important,but external beauty shouldn't be completely overlooked㉑.It plays a part in the image we present to the world,and making an effort㉒with your appearance can leave a positive first impression on㉓others and boost your confidence.
Emma,17,senior high school student
Ever since I was little,I've been larger than other girls.For a long time,this really bothered㉔me.People would stare at me because I was “big”and I hated the way I looked.My anxiety drove me to try every means possible to lose weight,including dieting and weight-loss pills㉕,but this brought me nothing but pain and poor health.Everything changed when one day I came across the success story of a plus-size model,Tess Holliday.Although she's larger than most other models,she's really attractive and has the confidence to be herself - even in an industry full of beauty stereotypes㉖.Her story changed my ideas about what it means to be beautiful.I realised that my health,mental and physical,is the most important thing.Now I exercise a couple of㉗ times a week but just to keep fit㉘.I mean,isn't it better that I'm large and happy,instead of skinny㉙and unhealthy?
Dr Hart says:
I completely agree with Emma - being healthy is beautiful,and we should wear that beauty with confidence. What I really admire is the way she has acknowledged㉚that good health not only makes us more beautiful,but happier,too![7]
[7]本句为主从复合句。What引导主语从句;she has acknowledged...是定语从句,修饰先行词the way,其中that引导宾语从句,作acknowledged的宾语。

一切都关于“我”!
“我”,这个词虽小却意义重大,而这个意义对于我们每个人来说,就像我们的外表一样是因人而异的。通过这次采访,我得以发现“我”这个字对于其他人的意义,以及他们如何学会欣赏他们自己的美。
心理学家,哈特博士
杰德,24岁,会计经理
正如《丑女贝蒂》里的歌曲所唱的那样,“这是个看脸的世界”。我比大多数人都更能理解这句话的含义,因为我一直相貌平平。我是个爱美的女孩。好吧,谁不是呢?所以,自从我发现自拍软件能消除我的雀斑,拉大眼睛,甚至削尖下巴,我就上瘾了。我每天会花数小时修我的自拍照,发照片,并频繁地打开手机,迫切地查看评论。照片的每个“赞”都会增强我的信心。爸爸觉得我太自恋,但我的解释是,我的照片没伤害其他人,管它呢?
哈特博士说:
沉迷于修饰上传网络的照片,其实是缺乏自信和渴望关注的表现。不管怎样,杰德呈现给别人想要博取赞美的形象都是虚假的。那些假装自己是别人的人,往往会对自己产生错误的判断。
安东尼,21岁,大学生
我向来不关心自己的外表,那就是我永远无法理解我姐姐的原因。她有17支口红,每天早上都不知道该用哪支好。我以前只有五条一模一样的裤子和五件一模一样的衬衫。当我第一次搬进大学宿舍时,室友看到我每天穿同样的衣服都十分困惑不解。上个月,他们给我在一个叫《全新的你》的电视节目中报了名。我最初感觉很奇怪。我不喜欢被人从头到脚地打量。但经过一番装扮之后,我被自己的美貌震惊了!我人生中第一次发现,原来自己是个英俊又体面的年轻人。在那一刻,我意识到外在美并非毫无价值。它可以表达我们的个性,也有助于我们给他人留下良好、积极的印象。
哈特博士说:
内在美固然重要,但也不能完全忽视外在美。外在美在我们呈现给世界的形象中扮演着重要的角色,努力提升你的外表可以给别人留下积极的第一印象,增强你的信心。
埃玛,17岁,高中生
从小我就比其他女孩块头大。很长一段时间,这真的让我很苦恼。仅仅因为我“块头大”,别人就会盯着我看,我讨厌自己的样子。内心的焦虑促使我尝试各种减肥方法,包括节食和吃减肥药,但是这样做毫无作用,反而给我带来了痛苦和不健康的身体。有一天,我偶然读到大号模特特丝·霍利迪的成功故事后,一切都发生了转变。虽然特丝比大多数模特都壮,但她真的魅力十足,并且有信心做自己——即使是在这个对美有着刻板印象的行业。她的故事改变了我对美的看法。我意识到,自己身心健康才是最重要的。现在,我每周锻炼几次,只是为了保持健康。我的意思是,我壮实且快乐着,总比瘦却不健康要好得多吧?
哈特博士说:
我完全赞同埃玛——健康才是美丽的,我们应该充满自信地接受这样的美丽。我真正钦佩的是,她承认健康不仅使我们更美丽,而且也更快乐!
