10、s. Finally, the influence of the media is another strong factor which shapes womens pursuit of physical beauty. There are a lot of advertisements of cosmetics and skincare products in various media such as TV, magazines and newspapers. They often have celebrities as the spokesperson for the advertis

11、ed products, which makes women have an illusion that they could look as good as those famous stars if they use the products. In short, these three factors exert immense influence on how women value appearance.2. Are there any occasions in life where it is necessary for a person, either a woman or a

12、man, to look good? Why or why not?Reference: Yes. On certain formal occasions, a person, either female or male, has to pay attention to his attire.

15、nt one is attending. Inner qualities that make a person beautiful mainly include good manners and positive personality traits such as honesty, bravery or friendliness.4. What do you think of the relationship between wearing makeup and female beauty? In other words, do women have to apply cosmetics i

16、n order to look beautiful? Why or why not?Reference: Yes. Women should pay great attention to their appearance and hence need to wear makeup. This is because beauty is, believe it or not, usually an important quality for women to succeed, for example, when they want to look for a job or an ideal hus

17、band. No. What really makes a person beautiful is inner beauty rather than physical appearance. A beautiful look cant last long, but inner beauty, for example, intelligence and honesty, may make a person successful and happy throughout his life.5. If you were the head of a cosmetics company, how wou

18、ld you market or promote a new product?Reference:I would market a new product by three means.

45、 preparations. What you consider as essential to prepare largely depends on whether you are a female or a male.

46、e a great variety of tools and skincare products; for example, combs and clips for hair, brushes for powder foundation, and eyeliners for eyebrows, creams for face, to name just a few.

47、 involves the amount of clothes women and men have. Females usually have many more clothes than men do. You may well be familiar with movie scenes in which a woman tries on the outfits in her wardrobe one after another and still hesitates about which one to wear. Unlike females, males do not buy the

48、mselves piles of clothes as long as they still have something at home.The third difference is that women spend much more time grooming themselves than men do. It can easily take a woman half an hour or even several hours to get a perfect hair style or apply makeup to her face. In contrast, it may ju

49、st take a man several minutes to tidy himself. All he needs to do is to comb his hair and put on whatever clothes he finds in the drawer.To conclude, women and men behave differently in how they attend to their routine grooming chores.
