Please, read my essay
A person can achieve success by personal looks and dressing style than by good ideas. Do you agree or disagree?
There is a myriad amount of factors that influence on our success in life. As one of the most important factors often being considered the ability to think creatively and come up with important ideas and clever decisions. Such qualities as dressing or personal look are claimed as being of less importance and even sometimes almost inconsequential. Nevertheless, I strongly believe, that there is a bunch of situations when good looking appearance or personal beauty are making much more significant contribution in success rather than ability of engender productive ideas. First of all, dressing style. Very famous proverb says "the stranger is being received by his exterior and being seen off by his behavior". Almost everyone of us is being interviewed at least once when we are looking for the job. Finding a good job is indispensable step to success. But even if one is answering all the questions and demonstrating his wit, vulgar color of the jacket he is wearing or dirty shoes could totally worsen the overall impression. As result, he will be rejected and definitely will not be closer to success. From the other side, accurate ironed t-shirt and burnished shoes will indicate at least the order in thoughts and will predisposes to one's personality just from the very beginning. Moreover, personal look in a sense of personal beauty can also be of the great importance. For instance, one of the most important type of success for men is success with women. Good looking dandy with terrific grey eyes and dense curling black hair has more chances to attract girl rather than bald prudent nerd with big glasses even if the last one is much more developed as a personality and can be extremely interesting conversation opponent. Summarizing, it is possible to say that despite obvious necessity to have an acumen to succeed in life, there are a lot of situations when personal appearance is of much higher importance. In that case tremendous contribution in success of personal good look is not commensurate to that of any creative ideas. |

Thanks for reading! I also agree with your recommendations. That would sound much better. Vocabulary I'm using is from my GRE general test preparation that's why it could sound bookish. I'm taking TOEFL on July 12.

Thank you all guys for reading, especially T-TOTO08.
T-TOTO08 - your comments and corrections very helpful, I will try to follow your recommendations. Just now I realized that I was more concentrated on making up the content that fits my bombastic vocabulary rather than developing topic more pithy and trying to find good big words that would fit it. Also have taken in account your grammar corrections. |
