求拍! GRE一战作文分超低,二战在即,请拍!请狠拍!请大方地狠拍!

题目: 208
"The way people look, dress, and act reveals their attitudes and interests. You can tell much about a society's ideas and values by observing the appearance and behavior of its people."

The statement put forward consists two claims and should be considered separately. I agree with second part which states a society’s value and attitude can be discovered by observing its people’s look and acting. While Individuals’ ways of dressing and acting will not necessarily reveal what they think and what they are interested in since they are affected my several factors.

As long as it is a free society where people have the arbitrary choice to decide their dress, their true attitude can hardly correlate with their appearance. Many factors influence people’s choice of dressing and accessories. The expense of living can be a very important factor which determines whether people are able to buy whatever they want to buy. Even though some people have very good taste and artistic judgment, they may not afford the expensive brands which match their taste and ideas. The working and living environment can decide people’s choice of dressing too. On one will buy rock-n-roll gears if he or she is working in a nursing house, similarly, working professors staying in a bank everyday may wear a suit everyday during their working time. Individuals will alter their dresses based on the circumstances, their mood or activities. People go to a party with a party shirt or mini dress, people go to wedding in business formal and people go to play tennis in sports clothes. It is hard to tell an individual’s attitude and value simply by what they wear—it is affected by many other factors and too changeable.

However, it would be possible to tell a society’s value and attitude by the dressing and acting of the population. People dress under the influence of the trend and people around them. For example, if most people started to keen on colorful gears with exaggerated patterns; the society is going to be restless, like Dada during the World War II. If people would like to wear coats made by animal fur or skin, or animal-patterned clothes, it may reveal the lack of awareness of protecting animals and environment. It is the rule that people dress similarly in groups that made it possible to tell a society’s taste from populace’s way of dressing. This is how fashion and trend spread. Everyone is influencing several people around him/her on dressing and so do the person was affected. The basic taste and trend can be distinguished by comparison with previous decades or with other countries. For instance, women started to dress something loose, comfortable to the body and easy to work in Coco Channel’s time compared to the past hundreds of years, which indicates the emancipation of women’s status and idea is on the corner. Another example, when people in United Sates wearing flip-flaps in the whole summer, people in Asian are excited about different styles of high-heeled sandals. It also implied Americans are enjoying the freedom of their toes while Asian girls are overcoming the pain to show their beauty, just like the discrepancy of two cultures.

In a word, even though individuals’ dressing and acting may not show any correlations of what they think and what they care about, the trend and fashion of general public reveal the value and attitude of a society.
我们一直笑着跳着,回过头,才发现悲伤如影随形
