Writing A paragraph on my opinion

5 Read the paragraph below. What is the writer’s opinion on judging other people by their
appearance?

In my opinion, we shouldn’t judge other people by their appearance. But, it is very easy to do. For
example, if we see someone who isn’t wearing fashionable clothes, then we might think that they are
boring. However, our rst opinions are often wrong. I think that we should get to know someone before
making a decision about them. For instance, we should meet them a few times, or email them to nd out
about their hobbies, and their personality.
