Correction of the 1st exam
Task A: „pro and con essay“ about „The Struggle for Beauty“

Nowadays you must look beautiful, because you see the beauty ideals on television, in fashion magazines, on posters and in boutiques. We want to look like them and for that we do a lot: We tan our skin, lose weight, have cosmetic surgery on everything from toes to noses and they do all for looking more like emaciated cover girls.
Furthermore I explain in my "pro and con" essay the advantages and disadvantages about the problem " The Struggle for Beauty"

First, I explain the advantages of this struggle: If you had a terrible accident and your body is deformed, then plastic surgery can be a good opportunity to get your body back. Or it's also suitable if you want to change your body because you have a blemish. You can change your body in the way you like. For example if someone has a very big nose, they can have changed into a small beautiful nose. If you change this blemish, you support positive effects on your well-being and your self confidence. You can improve yourself.

But on the other hand there are disadvantages, as well. We live in a world that strives for perfection. Many people want to be perfect and for this dream they begin a struggle. It's not a problem if you change your body in a slight way. But you shouldn't exaggerate it.
But some woman just overdo it. Plastic surgery can lead to addiction. A plastic surgery is very painful and risky. It can be dangerous or harmful. Because sometimes an operation goes wrong and afterwards you look uglier than before. So you destroy your body.
But in our time you always see the beauty queens in the media and on the pictures and you would look like them.

To conclude, my opinion is that beauty comes from the inside. Nowadays beauty can be bought. What about the natural beauties?! Beauty concerned with the character and the emanation. I know from my own experience that people can look much uglier or nastier if they have a bad character. When you change your body, maybe you lose your personality, when you want a nose like DA Vinci's Mona Lisa or eyes like Julia Roberts. It's very important to be healthy. In my opinion health is beauty. That's also what I think: If you are fit and healthy, you appear beautiful and young. Also don't destroy your healthy and body.
