For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay explaining why it is unwise to judge a person by their appearance. You can give explanations to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
There are various criteria of making judgments about people, but judging a person only by their appearance is never a wise attitude. As the old saying goes, "Never judge a book by its cover." The value of a person is usually shown by what they do instead of how they look.
Firstly, the appearances of people are mostly inherited and have no direct relation to their personality and moral standards. Some tend to trust people who have "honest looks," but more often than not, they are surprised by the real people behind the masks. Besides, the way a person dresses does not necessarily reflect their morality. For instance, wearing tailored suits does not guarantee the righteousness of a businessman, while a poorly-dressed worker could be a trust-worthy friend when the neighbors need a helping hand. In addition, people show different attitude under different moods. It is unfair to judge someone as an irritable person when he or she lost temper once in a hostile environment.
In conclusion, to judge someone, a safe way is to really know him or her in person rather than simply relying on the appearance, which is superficial and sometimes even dangerous.
【点评】
