Do you ever think about what’s more important, looking fashionable or feeling comfortable? You may find that many people choose style over comfort (舒适) and some even go to extremes (极端) to follow fashion. But we should remember: being fashionable isn’t everything. It’s more important to be healthy.
Some people believe that they need to be in a smaller size to look good. So, they start extreme diets that are not good for their health. They may not eat meals or eat too little, which can make them feel sick. Is it a healthy way to live?
Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels (鞋跟). They think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes may hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably. Some even wear close-fitting clothes. They may be bad for blood circulation (循环) and make people hard to breathe (呼吸). Should we put fashion over comfort and health?
Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair colour. The material they use is usually bad for their health. To make their hair straight or curly (卷曲的), they may have their hair permed (烫发). Is it really worth (值得) it?
So, let’s rethink what’s really important. Is it fashion or is it our health? Clothes or hairstyles don’t tell us anything about a person’s character. Instead of (与其) spending a lot of time choosing extreme clothes, we can use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets, let’s eat healthily and exercise every day. Remember, your worth is (决定) not by your appearance, but by who you are as a person.
