Выберите правильный вариант ответа. Why Some Don’t Care About Their Appearance
Despite the extremely superficial nature of this society there are still people who are able to avoid the notion (1) that you have to adapt to a particular standard of beauty mainly because they are comfortable in their own skin. To outsiders it might appear that these individuals don’t care at all what they look like when the reality is that they simply have different priorities (2), and so even if their appearance doesn’t feature very highly on their list it doesn’t mean that they give no consideration to their appearance whatsoever.
For some individuals appearance is extremely important (3) because it gives them an edge. They may already feel confidence when they are with colleagues and friends (4), but looking good gives them the extra boost they need.
Other people don’t attribute that much importance to appearances, especially if they have a laid-back attitude (5), are confident in themselves, and don’t have a job which requires power-dressing. This doesn’t mean they don’t care about their appearance; just that they have better things to do with their time (6) than dressing up when all they are going to do is sit behind a desk all day.
Some people do care about their appearance, although it may not look that way to others. There are individuals who possess their own unique sense of style (7), which might entail showing off their tattoos and piercings, as well as wearing clothes which don’t seem to go together and look rather scruffy. However, these individuals may well belong to their own ‘tribe’ and this is their uniform. As far as their fellow ‘members’ are concerned they are one of them, and are dressed to reflect this (8). The rest of the world might think these individuals don’t care about their appearance, but usually the opposite is true.
Of course, there are those who really don’t care what they look like, and usually justifiably so. If you’re homeless, have a drink or drug problem, or amental health issue, you can be forgiven for not making your appearance a priority (9).
Unfortunately, everybody is judged by their appearance in this society (10), so that if you don’t fit in with what is expected you are usually written off as being a bit weird (11).Everybody has their ups and downs (12), though, and surely nobody spends every second of their life trying to look their best. There are occasions when you’re sick or are grieving and feelу2 down, so that the last thing on your mind is your appearance. Only the people closest to you are able to judge (13)if you are ‘yourself’ or not, though, since strangers see you for a split second without comprehending how you are feeling at any given moment.
Most people do care about their appearance when they are in good spirits and things are going well in their life because they want to demonstrate that they belong to this society, which generally means conforming to certain standards in terms of their appearance. There may be some who decide to ignore convention (14), but these tend to be in the minority (15), while very few individuals don’t care at all what others think about the way they look.
