Speaking
A: Plastic surgery is very popular so it can't be that bad! On the whole, I feel
it’s great because it helps people. I think there are many positive benefits.
B: I’m afraid I don't agree. It’s popular because people are only interested in
their appearance and believe it'll make them feel better about themselves.
A: To be honest, there’s nothing wrong with that if it builds confidence and
changes people’s lives. But it’s not good if someone gets addicted to it
looking for perfection -- that’s impossible.
B: Well, I oppose the idea of low confidence as a good reason for plastic
surgery-they can change to a healthier lifestyle. I'd support it only if
there were very strict rules about who can have it.

People are risking their lives every time they go under the knife.

Plastic surgery: beauty or beast?
Plastic surgery is becoming more and more popular these days. Plastic surgery might help people feel good about themselves sometimes, but its negative consequences outweigh its benefits. I think people should never have plastic surgery.
First, people do not always get satisfactory results from plastic surgery. Nowadays more and more people have to go back under the knife because the first surgery was not what they wanted. No one can make sure that the result of plastic surgery will be exactly what the patient expected.
Sample
Main point
Reason 1
Evidence
Writing
In addition, plastic surgery can be dangerous. Some people suffer terrible pain and have serious health problems after surgery. People should not risk their health to change their physical appearance. The problem is often the negative self-image in their mind, rather than anything wrong with their body. Instead of surgery, they should first try safer methods to improve their body image, such as having a healthier lifestyle.
Moreover, people may get addicted to plastic surgery. People have plastic surgery because they want to improve their appearance. However, there is no perfection. People who undergo plastic surgery once tend to get more operations to change other parts of their body afterwards.
Reason 2
Reason 3
Writing
For these reasons, people should never have plastic surgery. If they want to improve their confidence in their appearance, they should think of other methods that are less risky, such as exercise.

Homework
Dear Editor,
I’m Li Hua. I’m writing to share my view on whether teenagers should have plastic surgery.
I firmly hold that teenagers should not take such operations. For one thing, teens should focus on studies rather than appearance and improve themselves through hard work. For another, as they are still growing, surgery may harm their health. Many teens who had surgery ended up with regrets and couldn’t live normally.
In short, teenagers should stay away from plastic surgery and live a meaningful life.
Yours,
Li Hua
Homework
Dear Editor,
I’m Li Hua, writing to voice my opinion on whether teenagers should have plastic surgery. From my perspective, teenagers are not supposed to receive such operations.
For one thing, as teens are still physically developing, cosmetic surgery may bring permanent health risks that harm their long-term growth. For another, real charm lies in inner qualities like knowledge and kindness, rather than a modified appearance. We can build true confidence by improving our personal abilities.
Yours,
Li Hua
Thank you
