In an English class discussion about the beauty filter function on smartphones， diverse opinions emerged among us.
Some argue that the beauty filter enhances one’s appearance and boosts one’s self-confidence.However， others think that excessive use of beauty filters can develop unrealistic beauty standards and distort people’s perception of their own natural beauty.
As far as I’m concerned， while beauty filters can be fun to use occasionally， it’s crucial to recognize that true beauty lies in embracing our distinctive features.By celebrating our individuality， we can cultivate a genuine sense of self-confidence that radiates from within.

He hides the painting away so that no one else may see it.For the next 18 years， Dorian engages in various evil deeds， even murdering the painter of the portrait.But he never feels guilty about the harm he is doing.His portrait ages and reveals his inner ugliness.One day， he suddenly comes to be fearful of his past crimes and wants to start a new life.But his portrait remains the same and reminds him of everything he has done.Feeling desperate， he tries to destroy the portrait with a knife， but it is he who is killed.His body is discovered， old and awful， while his portrait is young and handsome once again.

论。请你为班级英语角写一篇短文，记述这次讨论，内容包括：

参考范文：
In an English class discussion about the beauty filter function on
smartphones， diverse opinions emerged among us.
Some argue that the beauty filter enhances one’s appearance and
boosts one’s self-confidence.However， others think that excessive use
of beauty filters can develop unrealistic beauty standards and distort
people’s perception of their own natural beauty.
As far as I’m concerned， while beauty filters can be fun to use
occasionally， it’s crucial to recognize that true beauty lies in embracing
our distinctive features.By celebrating our individuality， we can cultivate
a genuine sense of self-confidence that radiates from within.

（2024·河北衡水英才高二上月考）A girl went to her mother and
told her mother about her life and how things were so hard for her.She did
not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up.She was
tired of fighting and struggling.It seemed that as one problem was
solved， a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen.She filled three pots （锅） with
water and placed each on a high fire.Soon the water came to the boil.She
placed carrots into the first pot.Then she placed eggs into the second
pot.Finally， she placed ground coffee beans into the last pot.She let
them boil without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes， she turned off the burners.She took the
carrots， the eggs and the coffee out with a scoop and placed each of them
in a bowl.Turning to her daughter， the mother asked，“Tell me， what
do you see？” “Carrots， eggs， and coffee，” the young woman
replied.The mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the
carrots.She did and noted that they were soft.The mother then asked her
to take an egg and break it.After pulling off the shell， she observed the
hard-boiled egg.Finally， the mother asked her to drink the coffee.The
daughter smiled as she tasted it.
The daughter then asked，“What does it mean， Mom？” Her
mother explained that these objects had faced the same adversity （逆
境） — boiling water， but they reacted differently.The carrots had been
hard.However， after being subjected to the boiling water， they softened
and became weak.The eggs had been weak.Their thin outer shells had
protected their liquid interior （内部）.But after sitting through the
boiling water， their inside became hardened.The ground coffee beans
were unique， however.After they were in the boiling water， they had
changed the water.“Which are you？” the mother asked her daughter.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

The girl changed completely from then on.
参考范文：
The girl became silent and fell into thought.She asked herself，
“When adversity knocks on my door， how do I respond？ Am I a
carrot， an egg or a coffee bean？” She hesitated for a moment， and
then had an answer in mind.She didn’t want to be the carrots that were
easily defeated.She decided that she would learn from the eggs to have a
hardened heart after experiencing hardship.More importantly， she was
determined to become the coffee beans to change the hot water.She started
to believe that she was able to overcome all the difficulties and finally got
success.
The girl changed completely from then on.She became strong and brave
and didn’t give up easily.She began to face life with a positive
attitude.No matter what problems she came across， she would always
remember the lesson her mother had taught her.She knew that more
difficulties would only make her stronger， and after having overcoming
them， she could change them into something nice.Finally， after
accepting many challenges， she was able to live the life she wanted.
