What is true beauty?Suggested answer:1)Beauty usually refers to what appeals to the eye. A nice and well-built girl is regarded as beautiful. A bunch of vigorous flowers are also considered as beautiful. A splendid waterfall coming down from a mountain is as well looked on as beautiful.2)Beauty also refers to what appeals to the mind. The virtue of the Chinese nation-industry and bravery are taken as beautiful, because it helped to produce such a magnificent culture in the world. Einsteins theory of relativity is also perceived as beautiful, for it explains many natural phenomena so perfectly.3)Beauty is around us. If you keep an eye or pay some attention, it is never difficult to find something beautiful somewhere around you. Wonderful natural spots, historical relics, fine arts, splendid buildings, and kind people are just a few inches away.The teacher can make a summary like this:Everyone is attracted by beauty and beauty is powerful. But what is true beauty? Perhaps you can get the answer from the following story.This morning I went to the market to buy some vegetables with my parents. On the way we all highly praised a young man in western-style clothes and leather shoes who was riding by. But he rode so fast that he knocked an old lady down carelessly. Instead of stopping, he pretended not to see this and rode away quickly. We were all very angry with the young man. To our happiness, a girl in plain dress ran forward at once, helped the lady up and took her home. We all praised the girl.From this we know we cannot judge a person by his appearance. A person who is dressed beautifully may not have a beautiful soul. Only a person who has a beautiful soul is really beautiful.Activity 2 DialogueFill in the blanks with proper words according to the given letters.AW: Excuse me, waiter, but I think there is something in my soup.M: Whats 1)w ?W: Well, I think I saw an insect or something 2)w I was spooning out the noodles.
