No More Beauty Contests?

Every year, many young women participate in various beauty contests. But people have different thoughts about beauty contests. What do you think about beauty contests? Let¡¯s take a look at a talk here and think about it.

Su-jeong: Hey, did you see Jung So-ra? She is the winner of Miss Korea this year. She is so beautiful. I really want to become Miss Korea just like her when I grow up.

Eun-hee: Really? I don¡¯t think that is a good idea. I think there should be no more beauty contests. They make people judge women by their looks. That is not good.

Ha-young: As you know, many young women get plastic surgeries. Some even don? eat to lose weight even though they are so thin. Beauty contests make them do so. Therefore, beauty contests are harmful.

Hee-yeon: But beauty contests find out what the contestants think about different things. You cannot win a beauty contest only by having a pretty face and a nice body.

Su-jeong: Hee-yeon is right. Beauty contest winners also do many good activities for other people and the society.

Ha-young: But you should know that many winners become TV stars or movie stars. I think many women participate in beauty contests to become famous.

Hee-yeon: That may be true. But I think that a beauty contest is just like any other festival around us. Why not just enjoy the contest? I think it is fun. Don¡¯t you think so? Girls, let¡¯s stop thinking about this and get back to studying. We have tests to take next week.
