Comment on the following statement: |
| Lots of teens believe that it's important to look nice. However, adults often think that young people pay too much attention to their appearance and fashion. |
|
|
What is your opinion? Do you agree with this statement? |
|
|
Some people think that it is important to look nice, whereas others do not agree. They believe it can distract a person from something that is really important.
I think that it is not very important to look nice. I would prefer to look natural. First of all, it takes a lot of time and energy. One has to spend substantial amount of time to live up to some standards that other teens have created. Second, it takes a lot of money to keep yourself looking nice. Good perfume and clothes cost a fortunate nowadays. It is also a never ending process because someone else will always look nicer.
At the same time a lot of young people think that if one looks nice he or she has more chances of finding friends or getting more respect from people of the same age.
Well, if one do not work on their qualities like easygoing, tolerance or forgiveness such people can not be popular for a long time. Teenagers can gain the same respect and a lot of friends just being nice and helpfu.
In conclusion, I would like to say that it is not really important to look nice. Nevertheless, one should not totally neglect his or her looks and be what people call “disheveled”, namely, smell or look dirty. Yet, I still support the idea of looking natural, even though it might contradict with the conception of “nice” in other people’ heads. or In conclusion, I would like to say that there are opposing views on this issue. At first sight it seems important to look nice but in actual fact it takes a lot of time and money. Thus, I support the idea that it is not really important to look nice. |

Comment on the following statement: |
| Honesty is the best policy. |
|
|
What is your opinion? Do you agree with this statement? |
|
|
Some people think that honesty is the best way of behavior in any circumstances, whereas others think that it should depend on situation.
I think that honesty is the best policy. First of all, people really appreciate honor in other people. If a person is honest others respect him or her and listen to them. Second, honesty allows people to feel good and become better. Being honest in all circumstances lets one find the weak sides of their character and work on them, thus improving them.
At the same time there are people who say that a person should not be always honest. Honesty can hurt someone's feelings.
I cannot agree with the opinion mentioned above for a particular reason. Some things might offend a person, nevertheless, I am sure that real honesty does not have anything to do with rudness or offensiveness. A person must be honest first of all about himself.
In conclusion, I would like to say that there are many temptations that might make a person lie, cheat or not say the truth. However, I strongly believe if a person sticks to the saying, “Honesty is the best policy”, he or she will eventually be proud of their long-term behavior, even if it might cause some temporarily inconveniences. or In conclusion, I would like to say that there are opposing views on this issue. At first sight it might seem that some little lie will not bring any harm but in actual fact small untruth eventually will create more deceives that in its turn will lead a person to big troubles. Thus, I strongly believe that honesty is the best way of behavior ever. |
