VII. 寫作練習
I believe true beauty should be natural, not artificial. Therefore, I will not undergo surgery simply to look better. No one is perfect, and this is what makes us all special. If everyone in the world had the same big eyes and the same prominent nose, the world would become a boring place. In my opinion, it is wonderful to be different from others. What’s more, the success rate of looking good by means of surgery remains uncertain. I’ve heard some shocking cases of cosmetic surgery. To me, when a person looks plastic or just like others, he or she has lost humanity. Thus, I definitely won’t take a risk and try cosmetic surgery.
