second one is “This picture says: this person is really kind, even

though they have an ordinary face”.

Extension: 

Our media places a great emphasis on appearances and we learn that we

are judged too often by our appearances. Use the table below to

consider The text offers two options on how to deal with ‘worrying about

appearances’ I have added a third option.

Options for ‘not worrying about your appearance’	Useful?	Not useful?	Healthy or Not?
Plastic surgery- medical change	It is not useful because it can ruin your face more.	Yes it is not just like what i said on the Useful box.	It is not healthy.
New Idea- Your body is not you	You have your soul, emotions, feelings.	Looking at your appearance and judging it.	I don’t really know
Physical exercise- change your body shape	Physical Exercise	Change your body shape	Having a surgery is not healthy
Another suggestion?	nope	nope	nope

As you can see here for the first task up there, I highlighted the words so that I can remember if I already putted the word in the blank column, because on this first task we have to put the right missing word on the blank column. For the next one we have these select the right answer and highlight it and as you can see up there that's what I did. Now for the last one the instructions are quite confusing so I can try if i can translate it to a better one. So basically There four ideas here which is Plastic surgery-Medical change, New idea- Your body is not you and Physical exercise. In here as you can see there are a table and above there three questions whether the four ideas there that was shown is either useful, not useful or is it healthy or no. I don't really get this at all so I just putted my opinions about those stuff in the table. 

That's all for my blog today thank you for reading!
