2 . Not all of us were born pretty or handsome! You maybe hope for a good look, but this has nothing to do with your weight, size, shape or skin. A good look takes cultivating（培养）what’s within you. Here are a few tips on how to begin.

We’re paying more attention to our appearance than our mind. If we spent half as much time noticing our mind, we would be a lot healthier in mind. Think about how much time the fashion industry pays to make you believe that you should invest（投资）in your mind—know your value and change your world.

How do you take care of your mind? You can do it by spending time learning who you are and what your advantages are. Find your advantages and you Ml become fearless. Make use of the gifts you’ve been given. Be modest, friendly and generous. Work hard and realize your dream.

Pay more attention to those people who’re most important in your life: those you love. Don’t focus on（集中）your size or weight. Don’t let it steal time that should be spent on those who you love because you are preoccupied with all the disadvantages. Say good-bye to the old way and try something new. Run a marathon, write a poem, play an instrument or talk with a loved one. Don’t look at someone at the sports center, on the magazine or the models on the beach to judge yourself.

Only one thing is necessary to be against the rules that require we should be thin to be valued. We should have a choice to live, really live a full and colorful life where you’re satisfied with who you are, not how you look.

3 . Knowing how and when to say goodbye is often difficult, even in informal situations.     1     It will help you maintain your relationships and let people know you care. It’s also easier than it seems sometimes. Read on to learn how to recognize opportunities and predict others’ needs when you leave.

Recognize when to leave. When you’re at any kind of party, or even a one-on-one conversation，it can be difficult to get away. Learning to recognize good opportunities to leave will make a goodbye much easier.     2     If more than half the people have left, it might be a good time to leave.

    3     Overstaying your welcome is rude, but it can often be difficult to distinguish. People don’t like telling you that they’d like you to leave，so try to watch for signals. This may be some other family members starting to check their watch or even pack up or the fact that there is hardly anyone left.

Make plans to see each other again. Saying, “See you at school tomorrow” or “Can’t wait to see you again at Christmas” keeps the goodbye light and focused forward. If you haven’t already made plans, use it as an opportunity to make them.    4    

Tell the truth. It can be tempting to come up with a “good excuse” when you’re ready to leave. You don’t need to.     5     It doesn’t need to be any more complicated than that.

A．Watch body language.

B．Leave when you want.

C．Notice if the crowd seems to be decreasing.

D．Even saying, “See you soon” suggests just that.

E．If you want to leave, just say, “I’ll be going. See you later.”

F．But learning to say goodbye appropriately is a must-have skill.

G．Don’t make plans with people you don’t really care about saying goodbye to.
