1.People should be realistic rather than romantic in order to live a better life.? Romantic: Realism is necessary, but idealism is also indispensable to increase the quality of

our life.

Young people tend to think that real life is as dramatic and fascinating as it is in the novels and movies, while more experienced adults disregard this opinion. Adults think this kind of naive daydream will only be destroyed by later experiences and every one should learn to get used to tedious everyday life. In fact, I believe this is a question of more than one aspect. Realism is necessary, but idealism is also indispensable to increase the quality of our life.

Let us first take a glance at realism and idealism in literature, which is the reflection of human life. There have been many great realistic works describing a certain period of history. These books not only shook the world of their times, many romantic stories gained high popularity , such as “Gone with the Wind.”

Every one can imagine what life will look like if we can not enjoy our favorite music, if all the gardens are filled with apple trees instead of red roses and golden tulips, if going fishing is not for relaxing but for earning money. That is a grey and dull picture of life. No one intends to turn our world into a world like that. Furthermore, even when we work, we can do it well and enjoy it only when we have a genuine love of it.

To see the importance of romance more clearly, we must think of the goal of our work, of our joint efforts. We work hard in order to make the world a better place to live in, in order to create more pleasant life for ourselves and our successors. If we sacrifice romance just because we want to do better work, we go away form our destination, it is unwise as anybody can see.

So let all of us enjoy. Enjoy the blue of a clear sky, enjoy the harmony on a violin string, enjoy the excitement of sports, enjoy each deep feeling pressed on our hearts, for that is just the way life should be.

2. Plastic surgery can make a person more attractive.

Against: Each day at the shopping mall, food store or gas station, you might find people with t

heir unnatural facial features; it is often very obvious you can tell right away that it must have bee n done by a plastic surgery. Is it ridiculous when you met someone for the first time, you thought you were charming enough, but they have already noticed your abnormal point and give you a low mark in the heart? Some outcomes of surgery make people uglier than before, and regrettably it is be too late, and so me has to face the consequences of potential complications.

Plastic surgery cannot improve one’s character. Who do you think is more popular, an ordinary girl with charming personality, or a beautiful girl with arrogant manner? Secondly, success relies on o ne’s abilities but not appearance. Also, plastic surgery is a waste of money. For example, it takes o ne at least 30,000 Y uan to have double eyelid. Fourthly, the premise of being more attractive is having a successful operation. But who can promise there won’t be any risks in plastic surgeries? People have to bear the risks of an unsuccessful surgery which will be a lifelong pain.

We can get what we want by improving our inner qualities, such as our personality and ability, a
