Weight Loss

There are a lot of people who want to lose weight, especially girls. They almost think that having a [1] slim [2] figure is[3] beauty, so they think of many methods to keep fit. For example, they will go on a diet and ask dietitians for professional advice.However, some people who keep fit want to get the result within a short period of time. They only have breakfast every day and then take some drugs for the rest of the day. At last it will badly affect their health and the result may be even fatal. Do they think that is worthwhile?

Nowadays, in many people’s mind, thinness is equal to beauty. Do you think that is true? It is something worth discussing, but for me, I think beauty is what is inside you.


[1] thin解作瘦,但slim解作苗條的 (較適合)

[2] body解作身體, 但figure解作體形 (較適合)

[3]

a. Having a slim figure is beauty.身形纎廋就等於「美」。
b. Smoking is hazardous to your health. 吸煙危害健康。


a. <noun>is <noun>
b. <noun>is <adj>

有時, 我地會用 a 的句子結構, 但有時, 我地會用 b 的句子結構。 的確要乎情況而定。

Re: Outer Beauty or Inside? -- Are you Beautiful?I think everyone has their own way of being beautiful. I think someones smile can set them off or how they speak. Having to change the real you is not worth the pain you have to go through to do that. Everyone are different inside and out.

There are a lot of people who want to lose weight, especially girls . (Okay)
(Almost all of them ) think that (being slim is the key to beauty ), so they
adopt different methods to stay fit .
For example, they will be on a diet and ask dietitians for (advice) .
However, some people want to keep fit quickly , they will only have a meal
every day and take some drugs (in order to) keep fit , (which) will affect their health and may cause death .
Do they think it is valuable to lose weight in such healthy ways ?

Thinness is equal to beauty, nowadays. Do you think( this ) is true? It is
something worth discussing .But for me, I think inner beauty is more
sparkling than skin-deep beauty .
