听一分钟英文：Models-模特

Models are strange people. It’s almost as though they live in a totally different world to the rest of us. Every day they are told how beautiful they are. I’m sure this affects them in some way. They constantly think about their beauty and their figure. Male models too. A lot of female¹ models also have to be very strict with what they eat so they don’t put on weight. Today, a model has to be size zero to be successful. This is unhealthy. The sad thing is that many normal girls want to look like a model so they end up having health problems. I suppose the life of a model is glamorous². The supermodels fly all over the world. They walk the catwalks at fashion shows and visit exotic³ locations for photo shoots. And get paid big money.
