Sample Answer
It’s a human tendency to judge others by their outer appearance, but is it fair? A good physical appearance is the only parameter to decide the status and worth of a person. I think it’s unfair to draw conclusions and opinions about others without actually knowing them. Some people try to demean others by making a negative impressions, in order to derive a false sense of superiority and gratification.
Generally, people tend to make perceptions about others by outer appearance like their looks, complexion, dress etc. They hold such preconceived notions about others in order to accept or reject them. Stereotyping makes people judge others with a closed mind-set, thereby, hampers correct judgement. We must not follow general rules to judge others rather should develop our own set of standards. This way we can stop making wrong assumptions by rejecting negative influences around us.
Only external appearance cannot decide the personality of an individual. We also need to look at his inherent inner qualities which are sometimes latent. In order to manifest the true nature and qualities of someone, time is required. A person with an ordinary appearance can be a great person. Abdul Kalam Azad, a renowned scientist and former President of India, is a perfect example of this. He was an extra-ordinary man with ordinary looks. All people are born equal regardless of our outer appearance. Having a beautiful heart is more important than having beautiful looks.
Personally, I believe in the saying that ‘All that glitters is not gold’. Irrespective of the physical differences, we must respect each other as human beings and should stop being censorious. A positive attitude with no prejudice can help individuals to overcome this problem of judging people by their looks.

Appearance isn’t everything
Appearance isn’t everything,actually appaerance is really important in case on profesionaling and sometines we have to make a good choice by judging on other people.the first statement that every one will know us is from appaerance, they will think someone that have a good appaerance also have a good attitude but it is not always a strong statement “Don’t judge a book by its cover” so here we have to be more aware on other people,more respect,responsible do not always thinking on someone that have a bad appaerance is a bad person too,cause actually we do not really know about their really story,appaerance is only our gate for rate someone personality but it is never be the first gate but it just an another option for rate someone,lot of us in this era always trying be look good,rich,happy on every time but it might be their mask for public we do not really what is actually happen on their life,so we have to be more aware on public and also to our self,cause being a good appaerance it is not always worth with a good attitude,why i just say “we have be more aware on our self and public”?cause lots of them in the outside,they always trying for be always happy on every condition,sometime it is look like a clue for us that obbsessed on appaerance its a trouble for our self,and in my oppinion trying hard for look rich or happy but it is not balance on your pocket it same like you play on your parents money sometimes i really dislike with my friend who trying be happy and look rich in their instagram,i just feel so sad cause they do not really know with what their parents have been done,it is kinda fake for public for being good and cute sometimes i do not know what is happening with their mind, it is already not working yet on your heart about their pain to make you happy??!,and apparrance is can make us easier for choosing a friend or bf,gf,etc.but we also need to know deeper than appaerance,cause appaerance is not the first option on rating someone.

“Appearance isn’t everything”
I’m agree with that opinion. Because how can be people’s appearance be benchmark of their life?
These days, most of the people really pay attention to their apperance. I know that pay attention to apperance is not bad but a lot of people overdo it. They are willing to do anything for their appearance.
These days, there are a lot of beauty standard that built by a lot of peolple. For example, In Korea the girls have to have doubel eyelids even though their race have narrow eyes and there are a lot of plastic surgery clinic because of that. In Indonesia most of the girls say you have to have a pale skin and a pointy nose if you want a lot of people say that you are beautiful even though their race have a brown skin and pug nose and because of that there are a lot of whitening product and plastic surgery clinic. In America the boys or the girls have to have a tan skin so people or their friends will say that she or he beautiful and because of that there are a lot of tanning product.
See because of that beauty standard, a lot of people not confident and ungrateful about their appearance. Then they will be do anything for their appearance even though they have to spend a lot of money. I know we are onlu live once and we want to be live with a good appearance because we only live once. But, wouldn’t it be great if we can live with the real of ourself and be grateful than we have to live like someone else and hate ourself because not living with not that good appearance?
I know these days a lot of people judging toward others because of appearance. But don’t mind it and please be yourself. Because if we can be ourself, we will be more confident than we have to be someone else. Don’t let other people’s comments about your appearance become a burden to you.
Since a long time ago, we always live with difference be it race,physical or others. All of the people really want to have a good appearance but if all pf people have a good appearance, we wouldn’t be know what is good appearance? what is beautiful? what is handsome?. It’s same like there are black and white, there are sweet and bitter, there are pointy nose and pug nose, there are beautiful and ugly. If we live in only white, eat only sweet, all of people have pointy nose and all people are beautiful and handsome we wouldn’t be know what is white? what is sweet? what is pointy nose? and what is beautiful? because there is no difference.
So don’t judge people by ther appearance. Because if all of the people are the same there is no something good because all the same.
But these days, the important thing is our character. Because right now beautiful is not only definition about appearance but also our character or hearts. If you have a good character and good hearts everyone will say that you are really beautiful. Because everyone will be prefer someone with not that beautiful face but has a good character than someone with good looking but has a bad character. These days people like that only a few. So we have to be someone with good heart than someone with good appearance. We talk about appearance later. Firstly, we have to be a good heart person if we want people say that we are beautiful and God will be really love us then our lifes will be bless.
