look good in my selfies
addicted to editing and posting my selfies, and checking my phone for comments

Debate:“It’s a pretty person’s world” Do you agree why
Opinion A:
In a sense I agree.
In today's society, there are countless people who get convenience everywhere because of their good appearances, and there are also countless people who run into difficulties because of their bad
appearances.Therefore, people tend to choose good looks when choosing a partner or employee. In a sense, this is a pretty person's world.
Opinion B:
In a sense I disagree.
There are many things in the world more important than good looks, such as health, personality and ability. This is like a big tree, the ability and personality are the root which is hidden underground, and the good looks are branches and leaves which can be seen at the first glimpse. As time goes by, you will find the root-ability is more important.
