Part I    Writing
1.    For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay to express your views on the phenomenon of cosmetic surgery. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
正确答案:          My Views on Cosmetic Surgery  Cosmetic surgery has become a controversial issue in recent years as more and more people, especially celebrities, choose to take it. However, I dont think its a good idea to beautify oneself via operations.  First and foremost, cosmetic surgery brings about artificial beauty that confuses many young people about the true value of beauty so that quite a few of them focus much on their appearance instead of virtues or personalities. Besides, once cosmetic surgery is widely accepted by the public, it is unfair to those who have the plain look but work hard for their dreams. Finally, des
pite the advances of technology, there are still many risks in cosmetic surgery.  As a result, I dont support young people to take advantage of cosmetic surgery although it might bring about benefits for the time being. The true beauty which is worth our respect should be connected with inner heart and appropriate behavior.
