Do you agree that “It's a pretty person's world”? Why?
Opinion A:
In a sense I agree.
In today's society, there are countless people who get convenience everywhere because of their good appearances, and there are also countless people who run into difficulties because of their bad appearances. Therefore, people tend to choose good looks when choosing a partner or employee. In a sense, this is a pretty person's world.
Opinion B:
In a sense I disagree.
There are many things in the world more important than good looks, such as heath, personality and ability. This is like a big tree, the ability and personality are the root which is hidden underground, and the good looks are branches and leaves which can be seen at the first glimpse. as time goes by, you will find the root-ability is more important.
Think & Share
“You are more than your looks.
You are your kindness, your courage, and your uniqueness.”
You don’t need to be anybody else;
You are just the beautiful you;
You got every right to beautiful life.
It’s all about me!
