2. Read the letter to
the editor of a fashion magazine and mark the sentences T (true), F (false) or
NS (not stated).
Dear Editor,
I saw your article
on top models, with lots of amazing photos, in last Saturday’s magazine and I
was really sad. You present women as objects to look at! What’s more, printing
such pictures is rather irresponsible.
I want to tell you
about my younger sister Alice. She was a normal, sociable, easy-going and
optimistic girl. At the age of 14 she started reading glossy magazines and
looking at photos of models and film stars all the time. She started being on a
diet and even when she got thin, she couldn’t stop. She had to go to hospital
with anorexia.
Can you imagine
how many teen girls this may happen as a result of looking at skinny females?
Why don’t you write articles about women who are generous, patient and sincere?
Or who have done something special for other people? They are the right kind of
models for young girls.
