Interview.
“Me”. It’s a small word with big meaning, and that
meaning is as individual to each of us as the way
we look. Through interviews, I was able to discover
what “me” means to other people, and how they
have learnt to appreciate the beauty in themselves.

1 As a song in Ugly Betty puts it, “It’s a pretty
person’s world”. I understand this more than
most, as I have always been plain-looking. I’m a
girl who’d love to look good. Well, who wouldn’t
So, ever since I discovered selfie apps that could
remove my freckles, enlarge my eyes and even
slim my jawline, I have become addicted. I spend
hours every day editing my selfies, posting them
and eagerly checking my phone a hundred times
for comments. Each “like” boosts my confidence.
Dad thinks I am a narcissist, but what I say is that
my pictures aren’t hurting anyone, so who cares
Jade, 24, accounting manager
Statements:
1. I want to look in my selfies.
2. I have become addicted to editing and posting selfies, and checking my phone for comments.
3. The positive comments boost my confidence.

2 Obsessive online photo editing indicates a lack
of self-confidence and a desire for attention.
However, the image Jade presents to obtain the
praise of others is false. People who pretend
to be someone they are not tend to misjudge
themselves

3 I never really cared about my appearance. That’s why I could never understand my sister,
who has 17 lipsticks and can’t decide which one to use every morning. I only used to have
five identical pairs of trousers and five identical shirts. When I first moved into my dormitory at
college, this made my roommates quite confused as they saw me in the same clothes day after
day. Last month they registered me for a TV programme, A New You. It felt bizarre at first.
I didn’t like being reviewed from head to toe. But I was surprised at how good I looked after
the makeover! For the first time in my life I saw myself as a handsome and well-presented young
man. At that moment, I perceived that external beauty isn’t totally worthless. It can be an
expression of our personalities, helping us make a good and positive impression on others.
Anthony, 21, college student

A. sells beautiful clothes on TV.

4 It’s true that inner beauty is very important,
but external beauty shouldn’t be completely
overlooked. It plays a part in the image we
present to the world, and making an effort
with your appearance can leave a positive first
impression on others and boost your confidence.

5 Ever since I was little, I’ve been larger than other girls. For a long time, this really bothered me. People would stare at me because I was “big” and I hated the way I looked. My anxiety drove me to try every means possible to lose weight, including dieting and weight_x0002_loss pills, but this brought me nothing but pain and poor health. Everything changed when one day I came across the success story of a plus_x0002_size model, Tess Holliday. Although she’s larger than most other models, she’s really attractive and has the confidence to be herself – even in an industry full of beauty stereotypes. Her story changed my ideas about what it means to be beautiful. I realised that my health, mental and physical, is the most important thing. Now I exercise a couple of times a week but just to keep fit. I mean, isn’t it better that I’m large and happy, instead of skinny and unhealthy
