TOPIC: ISSUE208 - "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."

Could the way people look, dress and behave reveals their own interests and value and that of the society they are in? In terms of individuals, I agree with the speaker partially: we might be able to tell a person's attitudes and interests through observing his appearance and behavior under usual circumstance. Yet, our attempt might fail when one intends to conceal his ideas. As for a society, I tend to agree that such observing would help us in tell its ideas and values if we define a society's ideas and values as that of the majority, except for a few extreme cases.

At first, let's focus on the strong relationship between personal attitudes and interests and one's appearance. In process of human society development, different kind of dressing is given different meanings. For instance, suits usually suggest seriousness; T-shirts may be related to comfort and leisure; and punk-fashioned torn jeans would imply rebel spirit. And when deciding what kind of dress to have people are usually inclined to choose ones that accord to his attitudes or interests. Almost everyone would attend the commencement or wedding ceremony with a suit as he attaches great importance to these activities, while seldom can we see such strange scenario that one goes to beach with suit and tie for leisure. Some might argue that," I choose sportswear merely for its function, rather than its meaning." Yet, that sportswear could indicate one's passion on sports and an energetic lifestyle is mostly attributable to its function. Therefore, it is possible for us under usual circumstances to tell much about one's attitudes or interests through observing his appearance regardless of whether he has chosen the dress for its given meaning or not. And this may explain why Prince Harry angered the public in 2005 for his Nazi costume, which unwittingly suggested his unserious attitude toward that part of history. By the same token, behavior could serve to reveal one's interior activities as well. For example, a person who asks for directions politely are more likely to value courtesy than the one who does it rudely; while chances are that one who would like to spent time playing with his children possesses stronger family idea than others. Undeniably, the way people look, dress and act could reveal attitudes and interests of individuals in common situations, consciously or not.

However, it is necessary to point out that the circumstance discussed above calls for individuals' willingness to express their ideas and attitudes, which is not always the case. What if one tend to conceal his authentic attitudes or make up fake ones on purpose? People might do this for personal attempts. Each of competitors in a job interview would dress and act as if he is fit for the applied position, which, nevertheless, depends greatly on further communication and examination. Political election is another representative field that such behavior occurs: Hillary Clinton fastened a polar-bear-figured breastpin during her election several years ago in an attempt to show the public her concern about environment. In Britain, David Cameron act alike by wearing a green tie during the election. Yet it is clear that closer examination is required to reveal their authentic ideas. Besides, religious or governmental pressure might also prevent people from expressing their real attitudes. To be specific, during the Great Culture Revolution of last 60's in China, any dress that is too much different from others or any activities that shows one's interests in science or personal entertainment such as reading or writing would be dangerous. Most people interested in science tended to conceal their real attitudes. The DPRK is living proof at present. Consequently, observing people's appearance and behavior alone is sometimes far from enough if we want to understand their authentic ideas when they conceal them intentionally.

When it comes to a society, a threshold problem is the definition of its values and ideas. Except for a few societies with extreme power politics, I would agree with the speaker that the way a society's people look, dress and act reveals its values and ideas, if defined as that of the majority. Here is a direct example. In the post-Second World War era, pants became acceptable casual wear for women in the United States, while there was a gradual eroding of the prohibitions against girls and women wearing pants in schools, the workplace and fine restaurants. This great change in female appearance to a large extent indicates the nation's positive attitudes towards its woman's rights. Behavior works just alike. A society in which most people walk fast and prefer fast food is quite likely to attach much importance to work efficiency and productivity. Oppositely, a society in which most people walk leisurely and are willing to spend hours enjoying their meals may well regard the productivity of work as of less significance than enjoying life itself. Some might wonder if this conclusion would be suitable all the time since individuals in almost every society sometimes tend to conceal their real attitudes just as we discussed above. The answer, from my perspective, would be definite. Job applicants act as though they were suitable because most people believe the job belongs to the best-qualified person; and candidates wear green for the public cares about the environment-- people conceal their authentic ideas or make up fake ones in sake of being in accord with that of most people. Thus, values and ideas of the majority are most likely to be well reflected through people's appearance and behavior whatever the case is with certain individuals. Yet in a few extreme societies today, not values of the society but rather that of the government best revealed.

All in all, personal attitudes and interests could sometimes be reflected by people's different appearance and behavior because of the implication itself contained by them, while sometimes this is not true since people may cover their real ideas for personal attempts or political pressure. In terms of ideas and values of a society, I believe it can be told by observing people's appearance and behavior, if defined as that of the majority, except for a few societies with extremely severe power politics.

感觉lz的用词不错，但是句式有点过于复杂，不太让人能清晰的明白所表达的含义。同时开头段的全文topic sentence 不突出且过于冗长。段落层面用正、反、正的结构个人感觉不如直接用正正+modification来的好。

写的很流畅，例子写的不错，但用词和语法的准确性有待提高，比如different kinds of, the process of, help sb in doing sth;还有举例不能假定读者已知，必须交待清楚，比如DPRK的例子。最后社会层面的论述有点深度不够，那段第一句话抛了出来却没论证，也没说明与主论点的关系，游离于文章之外

issue 56 Governments  should focus more on solving the immediate  problems  of  today  rather than trying to  solve the  anticipated  problems of  the future.
Addimitelly,solving the immediate problems of today is very important for us and goverments  should  give  muchfocus  on  
it.But  I  can not  agree  with this  idea  completely.
Frankly  speaking, we  should try our  best to solve the immediate  problems as soon as  possible because this  problems usually do harm to our survival  and development,like SARS,economic depression,starving,medical problems,criminal and so  on . For  instance,when SARS  cometo the world and  quickly influence a lot of persons. Although govorments try their  best to cure the patiences,there are so many people die.Govirments also separate the patiences from the normal persons,but there are more and more people got infected,even many  doctors and  nurses infected the virus when they look after the patiences. It is really a big disaster to human beings ,so many persons lost their friends ,their children ,their parents...So at this time ,govornments should focus more on  solving this immediate problems.They should give more money to cure the patients and check the persons who are suspiciousfor injected for free. And the govorments should call on more sientists and give more money to esearch the virus and find a medicine to solve it.If we can sovle this problem one day early,we can save thousands of lives.

But sovle the immediate problems should not cause more problems of the future at the same time .As is well known to us all ,the world is developing fast,the sicience and the knownledge are flying forward ,but even in the developed countries like America and Japan, there are many persons can not cover their life ,their medical treatment,their children's tuition free . So goverment should focus on developing economics.Unfortunetelly ,in order to get more profits ,some goverments had cause more polutions and destroy the eviroment. For instance, more and more  factries release much greenhouse gas and cause greenhouse effect.


On the other hand ,goverment should also focus on solving future problems. Otherwise ,we will come across many problems and even destroy us .For example ,we are living in a nice world,beautiful sunshine ,plenty of water ,suitble weather......There are all god give us .But if we keep on pollute the eviroment and waste the resourse,we will destroy this nice world.Maybe the movie "2012" is just a joke ,but one science has said: If the water is not enough ,maybe the next war is fight for it .We can also  imagine that if the climate become not suitble  for us ,then maybe our human beings will die out like dinosaurs.

Someone think that focus more on solving the future's problems is waste time and energy,I can not agree with this argument.For instance,if goverments give more money and attention on science research,we can know more about virus,and when SARS come ,we can defeat it quick and save more persons .Meanwhile,we can  produce some medicine more effient and cheaper ,in that case more poor people can afford them .For another,if we focus more on education ,give more money to help the poor's children to colleage.In the future ,they will find a good jib and make contributions to society.And if more and more persons are well educated ,we can really reduce the criminals.
In a conclution,govermentsshould both focus on solving the immediate problems of today and solving the anticipated problems of the future,a wise idea is to find a balance between them.Both of them are important to us ,to the world.
