②Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good.So，they start daily diets that are not good for their health.They might not eat meals or eat too little，which can make them feel sick.Is it a healthy way to live？
③Also，many girls wear shoes with very high heels.They might think high heels （高跟鞋） make them look taller.But these shoes can actually hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably
