At present, a number of people are chasing fashion. They spend much money chasing fashion. At the same time, it brings us negative effects (负面影响) that may influence the development of our society.
What's fashion? The meaning of fashion can not be explained by a simple word. Everyone has a different understanding of fashion. Some people think that popularization is fashion, and some people think that highlighting personality (彰显个性) is fashion. In fact, fashion is a popular style (of clothes, behavior, etc. ) at a given time or place. Fashion is changing constantly, so it's always different.
It's not necessary for young people to follow fashion. One should have his own style. One should be changing himself to the situation, but it doesn't mean that he should follow fashion. We should consider whether fashion is helpful. I think that following it has more disadvantages than advantages. To follow fashion is to waste money, energy and time. If you follow fashion, you'll lose your own style. If everyone follows the same fashion, there won't be differences in the world.
Is your school strict?
| Alice： Well， yes and no. At break time we can decide（决定）where to go. We can stay in the classroom or go outside—I often go to the playground with Mike, but we can't go out to the shops and of course we can't go home! |
| Karl: Yes, the teachers are very strict! We can't talk in class and we can't ask questions. We can listen to the teacher and copy（抄写）from the board. That＇s all! |
| Jane： Not really， no. We can use computers in class to look forinformation（资料），but we can＇t go on social networking sites（社交网站），of course！We can work in groups in class too. I like that. |

I am worried about my teeth. My front teeth are so big that they almost look like buckteeth (龅牙). When I take photos, I never laugh. I am also afraid my classmates will laugh at me. If I had smaller teeth like other people, I would be very happy. 
I want to change my pessimistic attitude (悲观的态度) to life. Sometimes, things are not that bad, but I take everything too seriously. Once, I thought I didn't do well in an exam. I became very sad. But when I saw the result, it was not as bad as I thought. I worried about it too much. I think I shouldn't be so pessimistic. 
I want to change my bad temper (脾气). I often get angry and hurt the people I love. Every time my mother cares about me, I think she talks too much. Sometimes, I even argue with her. But I know ____. I shouldn't do that. I will try to change my temper. 
I often dream about having long legs. They would make me look more beautiful, and help me run faster. I like running and always join the running races at school. But other runners always pass me during the big race. I try my best, but it doesn't work because of my short legs. So I want to have longer legs.
