Unit 4 Looking good, feeling good
Section 1 Welcome to the unit & Reading
Activity 1
In my opinion, on the one hand, looking good does not necessarily mean feeling good. Our satisfaction can come from many aspects other than appearance; for example, when you help people in need, you will feel great even if your clothes are dirty. However, on the other hand, when you look good, you will attract more attention and naturally have more confidence, making you feel good as well. In this sense, looking good has something to do with feeling good.

One possible version:
Plastic_surgery_is_becoming_more_and_more_popular_these_days._Some_students_are_for_it_while_others_are_against_it.From_my_point_of_view,_I_think it's not necessary for people to beautify themselves through plastic surgery.
There_are_several_reasons_for_this._First_of_all,_being natural is being beautiful.
