首先是审题要正确，这与阅读水平和细心程度有关。题目Do You Agree with the Idea that One Can Not Judge a Person by Appearance ? 中的从句One Can Not Judge a Person by Appearance 意为“不能以貌取人”，而试题是问你是否同意这句话。同意则表示“应该以貌取人”。

　　根据考题展开你的观点 ；

　　“不能以貌取人”写在纸上是一句非常漂亮的话，说给别人听更是高尚无比。然而，现实中又有多少人能不折不扣地这样去做呢？外表的美丑或多或少地总会影响对某人的看法，要表达这样的想法，我们不妨这样说：

　　1. I think people do judge others by their appearance at least to some extent . We often pick up many clues about other people from their clothes and from their outward appearance . If I come to you and tell you that I "m a very shabby , would you believe me ?

　　但话又说回来，一味以貌取人也说不过去。外貌毕竟只是人们判断时的参照之一。以下两段话表达的便是这种观点：

　　2. When I see someone in dirty clothes , I will assume that maybe he is uneducated ; but just when you think you can totally rely on that , that is when you "ll be wrong .

　　3. I think we should , but not always . We should not put too much stock in it , and we should not rely on it too much.

　　外表之所以能左右人的判断，是因为尽管它反映的只是某人的外观，但它确是构成某人形象的因素之一。但真正能够反映某人好坏的却是其性格。此外，有些年轻人对于外表格外注意；而己有一定阅历的人则未必如此，他们的气质风度往往比他们的衣着打扮更能展现其风貌：

　　4. It is a wrong to think that appearnce are not important . The superficial characteristics are useful in some ways , but are not of the first importance . We should judge people based on their characters .

　　5. It depends on a lot of things besides just the appearance . I notice that young people like to dress up very formally . They will make sure that they are always looking very proper . But I also notice that older people , particularly those topnotched people , don"t dress up very carefully , because they have leant to act in a certain way that says more than the clothes they wear .

　　完全以貌取人不足取。但俗话说得好：人无完人。教授、的专家、的学术泰斗们有衣冠楚楚、的光彩照人者，但不拘小节者也大有人在。若以世俗但眼光看待他们，则大大有失公正：

　　6. Judging people by their appearances discounts other qualities . For example , there is a very intelligent professor who is very skilled when he goes into the classroom and explains the scientific theories ; and he is very skilled when he goes into the lab and does his experiments . Yet maybe he has a difficult time shaving properly ; maybe he has a difficult time in other cases ; maybe he does not have anybody to buy nice clothes for him , and maybe he does not realize that he has spilled some liquid on his shirt . In fact , it"s difficult for people like him to dress very well or shave very well . And therefore , if you judge him based on his appearance , you are not fair . He is a very intelligent , creative and interesting person , and yet to look at him , you might not think so highly of him .

　　我们听某人之言，可以知其人之性，“言为心声”，是之谓也。我们将这句话往深处一想，便不难悟出这样的道理--以貌取人所反映的往往是一种肤浅。

　　7. If you judge a person by their appearances , this tells people more about yourself than it does about that person . If the only quality that you value in a person is how well he dresses or how attractive he looks , then we can see into yourself , and understand that the things that you really do value are those very superficial qualities .

　　待人接物如此，交友时亦是如此。择友时若唯外表是取，你可能会与志趣相投者擦肩而过：

　　8. If you choose your friend based on who is well dressed or who is more attractive , or other superficial qualities , then you are going to have less likelihood to have a good friend . You are going to miss out on a friend you could have who is much more interesting and much more creative and yet is much less interested in appearances.

　　外表的改变用不了多少时间，而内在素质的养成却远非一朝一夕。不知读者是否同意这个说法？

　　9. People can buy a very nice outfit in just a couple of minutes , and they can change their outward appearances in a few hours by going to a barbar"s shop or a hairdresser"s . And yet how long will it take to develop creativity , or to become very well educated , or to have interests in areas of knowledge ? You can"t gain these so easily and quickly . It takes years , not just a few minutes .

　　以上只是考生中比较普遍的一些想法和观点。不能面面俱到。读者在读过本文之后可以思考一下，理出自己的思路，然后试着将自己的说法表达出来。这样做既可以理清思路，又能提高口语表达时所述内容的精确性和用语的准确性。
