What does your face tell the world
The face is a picture of the mind with the eyes as its interpreter. With a smile or a frown, our faces can effortlessly communicate to others how we’re feeling. But recent studies have found that the human face can also convey essential characteristics that make up who we are. (人脸可以传达我们的本质特征)
Nowadays, a person’s appearance can also be called face value.
Some apps can even give a score on your face value.
However, can a person’s face value/ score really tell his or her personality

Zhang Fei and Bao Zheng are two typical examples.
A blue mask represents a character who is upright (正直的) and brave in the face of challenges.

The ugly little duck who admires the beauty of swans
Although small in size, the cat has a big ambition, which was reflected as a lion in the mirror.
In me the tiger sniffs the rose.
— Siegfried Sassoon, England
心有猛虎细嗅蔷薇。—余光中
A soft and gentle heart can be hidden under a fierce appearance.
1. What can you see in the three pictures
In the first picture, there are four yellow ducklings standing together, one grey ducking standing alone and a swan flying in the sky.
In the second picture, there is a tiger who is smelling a red flower.
In the third picture, there is a cat who is looking in the mirror and imaging itself as a lion.
2. What does each of the pictures tell you about the characters
In the first picture, the grey duckling may feel lonely and different, and unfairly left out by the other ducklings because of the way it looks.
Perhaps it dreams of becoming a beautiful and graceful swan one day.
In the second picture, the tiger looks gentle, sweet and thoughtful, showing its delicate and vulnerable side.
In the third picture, even though the cat is small, it sees itself as being strong and powerful, like a lion.
3. What can you learn from the pictures
Don’t judge someone by their appearance, but look beyond it to find their inner beauty.
It’s okay to show your vulnerable side sometimes.
Don’t let the way you look
stop you from achieving
your dreams and ambitions.
